Eric Young Jr. - OF - Mets

Mets manager Terry Collins plans to play new acquisition Eric Young Jr. often.

"We'll probably play him quite often to see what he brings to the table," Collins said. "We're hoping he brings something that we haven't had since Jose [Reyes]." Young was in center field and hitting leadoff on Wednesday in his first game with the Mets. Fantasy owners in need of steals should scoop him up.

Ruben Tejada - SS - Mets

Ruben Tejada (quad) remains unable to do any lateral movements.

Tejada is limited to fielding grounders hit right at him, as well as hitting off a tee. He missed seven weeks with a right quad strain last season, and it's looking like he could miss that much time again, which would put his return in mid-July.

Scott Atchison - R - Mets

Mets placed RHP Scott Atchison on the 15-day disabled list with a right groin strain.

Atchison suffered the injured while warming up during Tuesday's doubleheader. The veteran right-hander just made it back after missing a month with elbow inflammation, but now he'll need to miss at least two more weeks.

Eric Young Jr. - OF - Mets

Eric Young, Jr. will bat leadoff and start in center field in his Mets' debut Wednesday against the Braves.

Young was acquired from the Rockies on Tuesday night in exchange for right-hander Collin McHugh. The 28-year-old was batting just .242/.290/.352 with the Rockies this season, but he has plenty of speed and could receive regular playing time in the Mets' outfield. He's someone to keep in mind in deeper mixed formats if you need stolen bases.

Andrew Brown - OF - Mets

Mets recalled OF Andrew Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Brown has three hits, including a homer, in 15 at-bats this season for the Mets. He's mashed to the tune of a .349/.435/.664 in 2013 at Triple-A and should see some starts against lefties.

Collin Cowgill - OF - Mets

Mets designated OF Collin Cowgill for assignment.

Cowgill had some chances with the Mets but wound up batting just .180. He's had success in the minors, though, and could draw some interest on waivers.

Eric Young Jr. - OF - Mets

Mets acquired OF Eric Young Jr. from the Rockies in exchange for RHP Collin McHugh.

Young is batting just .242/.290/.352 this season, but he's a good fit for the outfielder-needy Mets. The speedster should receive a good amount of playing time in the outfield and makes for a nice cheap speed pick-up in deeper formats.

Zack Wheeler - S - Mets

Mets optioned RHP Zack Wheeler to Triple-A Las Vegas.

It's just a procedural move, as Wheeler was the 26th man for Tuesday's doubleheader and can be brought back for his next turn in the rotation. He struck out seven over six scoreless innings against the Braves to win his first major league start.
Jun 18 - 11:23 PM
Scott Atchison - R - Mets

Scott Atchison (groin) is likely to be placed on the disabled list.

Atchison suffered the injury on Tuesday while warming up before an appearance. It was his first day back from the DL for an elbow injury. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be out.

Zack Wheeler - S - Mets

Zack Wheeler tossed six scoreless innings Tuesday against the Braves to earn a win in his MLB debut.

Wheeler looked like he was battling some nerves early on and he got into some tight spots with his five total walks, but it was a special night overall for the 23-year-old right-hander. He struck out seven batters and yielded just four hits, and will try for a similar brand of dominance in his second major league start next Tuesday against the White Sox. Wheeler is a must-own in all standard fantasy leagues.
Jun 18 - 10:43 PM
Anthony Recker - C - Mets

Anthony Recker hit his second home run of the season Tuesday in the Mets' defeat of the Braves.

The two-run shot in the top of the seventh inning broke a 0-0 tie and put Zack Wheeler in line for his first major league win. Recker doesn't play much behind John Buck and will likely be sent to Triple-A Las Vegas when prospect Travis d'Arnaud is ready to contribute.

Scott Atchison - R - Mets

Scott Atchison has been diagnosed with a sore right groin.

Atchison suffered the injury on Tuesday while warming up before an appearance. It's not clear how long he might be sidelined.

Scott Atchison - R - Mets

Scott Atchison injured himself before an appearance on Tuesday against the Braves.

Atchison had just returned from the DL earlier in the day but hurt himself while warming up. The good news is that it appeared to be a groin injury and not an aggravation of his elbow malady.

Matt Harvey - S - Mets

Matt Harvey took a no-hitter into the seventh before giving up three runs in seven-plus innings Tuesday in a victory over the Braves.

Jason Heyward's infield single ended the no-hit bid; Harvey actually had a play on him, but he didn't think he could make the tag after grabbing the ball towards the first base line and decided to flip to first, which happened to be vacant. Harvey got through that inning scoreless anyway, but the eighth was a different story. He loaded the bases with no outs and then got pulled. After he left, all three runners came around to score. The Braves' official scorer made an egregious call on what should have been ruled an error on David Wright, or he would have only allowed one earned run. It took some of the shine of a dominant effort in which Harvey struck out 13. Still, he did pick up his first win since May 17 and his second since April 19.

Bobby Parnell - R - Mets

Bobby Parnell picked up a four-out save Tuesday in the first game of the doubleheader against the Braves.

Parnell struck out Chris Johnson to bail the Mets out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and then pitched a scoreless ninth to save the 4-3 game. It was one of his best performances of the season, and he's now 10-for-13 saving games.
