The New York Mets are expected to designate catcher Tomas Nido for assignment, according to a source. The team will go with a catching tandem of prospect Francisco Alvarez and Omar Narvaez (calf) moving forward. Nido is strong defensively behind the plate, but he doesn't hit much and has gone just 7-for-56 (.125) in 22 games this year for the Mets with one, RBI, two walks and 18 strikeouts in 61 trips to the plate. If the 29-year-old clears waivers, there's a chance he could remain with the ...

The New York Mets reinstated catcher Tomas Nido (eye) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and designated catcher Gary Sanchez for assignment in a corresponding move. Nido missed some time with vision issues, but apparently he's fixed them and is ready face big-league pitching again. Omar Narvaez (calf) is nearing a return from his injured-list stint as well, so for now, Nido will split playing time behind the plate in Queens with youngster Francisco Alvarez. The 29-year-old Nido offers ...

The 29-year-old was in the middle of a horrible start to the season offensively, slashing .118/.148/.118 in a backup role. In a corresponding move, the club recalled Michael Perez from Triple-A. The former fifth-rounder has played parts of five seasons at the big league level but hasn't hit much, batting .174 with a .545 OPS in his career. Perez will backup Francisco ...

The New York Mets placed catcher Tomas Nido (thumb) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. His 2021 season is now over. The team called up fellow catcher Patrick Mazeika from Triple-A to fill his roster spot. Mazeika will serve as a backup to starting catcher James McCann the rest of the way. Nido is dealing with a sprained left thumb. This is his third trip to the injured list due to the same injury. The 27-year-old appeared in a career-high 58 games this year and slashed .222/.261/.327 ...

New York Mets relief pitcher Jeurys Familia (hip) and catcher Tomas Nido (wrist) will start their rehab assignments with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday night. Familia is eligible to come off the injured list as soon as Thursday, and Nido is eligible to return on Friday. Familia suffered a right hip impingement at the beginning of last week, but he should be back later this week, barring a setback. The right-handed reliever has a 3.63 ERA and one save on the season, but his 6.0 BB/9 is concerning...

New York Mets catcher Tomas Nido (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, with the move made retroactive to June 22, the team announced on Twitter. Nido exited Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader after being hit by a pitch, and early reports stated that he received a clean MRI on his wrist. It was believed that he would avoid a stint on the IL, but given the rash of recent injuries hitting the Mets, it seems they made the move to get a healthy bat on their bench. Nido is ...

New York Mets backup catcher Tomas Nido (wrist) received a clean MRI exam on his wrist, but he still has "some limitations," according to manager Luis Rojas. Consider him day-to-day for now, but it looks like Nido will avoid a trip to the injured list. The 27-year-old doesn't have much fantasy appeal, even in two-catcher leagues, as the backup to James McCann. In 91 plate appearances in 2021, Nido is slashing .238/.297/.393 with three home runs, 12 runs scored and 11 RBI. Until the Mets clear ...

New York Mets catcher Tomas Nido (wrist) exited Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader after being hit by a pitch on the wrist, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. James McCann has taken over behind the plate now, and will likely catch in Game 2 of the doubleheader with the Braves. Nido has been a decent play in NL-only and two-catcher formats, as he's slashing .238/.281/.393 with three homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored over 30 games this season. If this injury keeps him sidelined for a while, it...

New York Mets catchers Tomas Nido and James McCann are expected to share the position going forward, now that Pete Alonso is returning from the injured list. Both Nido and McCann have seen plenty of playing time of late, with McCann manning first base, and both have been strong at the plate in that time. This news likely renders both unusable for fantasy purposes, but managers who roster either player will want to see how the division of labor works out.
