The Mets designated Blankenhorn for assignment Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move cleared a spot on the 40-man roster for newly-signed reliever John Curtiss (elbow), who was then transferred to the 60-day IL to reopen a 40-man spot for outfielder Travis Jankowski. Meanwhile, Blankenhorn's status with the organization is in limbo for the moment, as he'll first need to clear waivers before rejoining Triple-A Syracuse. The 25-year-old received 24 plate appearances with the big club in 2021, though most of his opportunities were without multiple established players due to injury and COVID-19-related absences.

Blankenhorn was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn was promoted from Triple-A on Saturday and effectively served as the 29th man for the doubleheader, though he didn't appear in either contest. The 25-year-old has appeared in 23 games for the Mets this season and has a .174/.208/.391 slash line in 24 plate appearances.

Blankenhorn was recalled by the Mets on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn has spent multiple brief stints on the big-league roster this season but has almost exclusively occupied a bench role. Just one of his 23 appearances this season has come as a starter. He's done little with his limited playing time to suggest he deserves a regular role, hitting .174/.208/.391 in 24 trips to the plate. He'll take the roster spot that had belonged to Brandon Nimmo, who landed on the injured list with a strained hamstring.

The Mets optioned Blankenhorn to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn went 0-for-8 with a single in eight pinch-hit appearances after being recalled Aug. 13. It's unclear whether the utility player will get any more big-league opportunities this year. Francisco Lindor (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn has been in the minors since late July, and he's slashed .227/.346/.409 with two home runs, two doubles, five runs and four RBI in 12 games at Triple-A Syracuse since then. He'll rejoin the major-league club as utility depth after Javier Baez (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Blankenhorn was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn struck out in both of his plate appearances since being recalled last Wednesday. With pitcher Jerad Eickhoff rejoining the 26-man roster to start Tuesday, Blankenhorn will return to Syracuse for the time being.

Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn was sent down Monday, but he'll return to the major-league club after Robert Stock (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list as part of a corresponding move. The 24-year-old has hit .231 with a home run, two doubles, four RBI and three runs in 13 games this season and should fill a depth role for the Mets going forward.

Blankenhorn was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn was recalled on Saturday and appeared in both weekend games against the Pirates, grabbing an RBI double and a three-run homer in his two pinch-hit appearances. His reward for that success is a return trip to the minors, with the Mets adding a pair of relievers (Stephen Nogosek and Anthony Banda) in a corresponding move.

Blankenhorn hit a three-run home run in his only at-bat in Sunday's 7-6 win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old pinch hit for pitcher Drew Smith in the fourth inning and delivered a three-run shot to get the Mets back in the contest. Blankenhorn has only seen 14 plate appearances this season, although he's provided a homer, four RBI, two doubles and three runs scored. He'll likely continue to serve in a bench role while Francisco Lindor (oblique) is on the injured list.

Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
He takes the roster spot of Francisco Lindor, who was placed on the injured list with an oblique strain. Blankenhorn is on his fourth team of the year and was hitting .270/.429/.676 in 13 games with Syracuse. He has one hit in 12 plate appearances in the majors this year. Look for him to assume a bench infielder role in the short term.
