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.

John Buck - C - Mets

John Buck hit his first homer since May 24 and just his second since May 3 in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Braves.

The solo homer gave the former NL RBI leader his first RBI of June. He's hitting .222 in 45 at-bats this month.

Dominic Smith - 1B - Mets

Mets agreed to terms with first-round pick 1B Dominic Smith.

Jim Callis of Baseball America reports that he'll get $2.6 million, which is a little under the recommended draft bonus. Smith, a big left-handed first baseman out Serra High School in California, was selected 11th overall in this month's First-Year Player Draft.

Zack Wheeler - S - Mets

Mets recalled RHP Zack Wheeler from Triple-A Las Vegas.

The wait is over, as Wheeler is slated to make his long-awaited major league debut in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Braves. The Mets will option Wheeler back to the minors after Tuesday's start, but it's merely a procedural move, as he will function as the 26th man for the doubleheader and will be eligible to return for his next scheduled start next Tuesday against the White Sox. One of the top pitching prospects in the game, Wheeler posted a 3.93 ERA and 73/27 K/BB ratio in 68 2/3 innings across 13 starts this season in Triple-A. Feel free to pick him up in all fantasy formats.

Justin Turner - 1B - Mets

Mets placed INF Justin Turner on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 17, with an intercostal strain.

The move clears a spot for Scott Atchison's return from the disabled list. Turner will be eligible to return in early July and has a chance to be ready by then. The 28-year-old is batting .266/.307/.330 in 94 at-bats this season.

Scott Atchison - R - Mets

Mets activated RHP Scott Atchison from the 15-day disabled list.

The Mets are allowed to have a 26th man for Tuesday's doubleheader, but they will have to make a roster move before Zack Wheeler makes his major league debut in the nightcap. While there's no official announcement yet, Justin Turner (intercostal) appears likely to be placed on the disabled list. Atchison, out since May 14 with elbow inflammation, returns to a 4.50 ERA and 6/6 K/BB ratio over 18 innings.
Jun 18 - 11:08 AM
Lucas Duda - OF - Mets

Lucas Duda went 4-for-4 with a double in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Braves.

Making his first start at first base this season, Duda raised his average 15 points (from .226 to .241). Mets manager Terry Collins has resisted trying Duda at first base in anticipation of an eventual Ike Davis return, but there's no doubt that New York is a better team with Duda at first and Daniel Murphy at second. Duda's a terrible defender, but he's posted a nice .241/.348/.454 slash line through 216 at-bats.
Jun 18 - 2:31 AM
Dillon Gee - S - Mets

Dillon Gee was slapped with a loss despite pitching a gem Monday, allowing two runs over 8 1/3 innings to the Braves.

He struck out six and walked one. Gee was absolutely cruising through eight innings and entered the ninth in Atlanta with a 1-0 lead. He surrendered a leadoff single to Justin Upton and Freddie Freeman ended the game with a 365-foot blast to right field. Gee revealed after his last start that he's dealt with flexor tendonitis all season, but he appeared just fine on Monday. He's 5-7 with a 4.56 ERA.
Jun 18 - 2:27 AM
Matt den Dekker - OF - Mets

Mets outfield prospect Matt den Dekker returned to game action at High-A St. Lucie on Monday.

The 25-year-old suffered a fracture in his right wrist near the end of spring training while attempting a diving catch. Den Dekker should make his way up to Triple-A Las Vegas before long and could push for a promotion later this season.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Mets prospect catcher Travis d'Arnaud (foot) has been cleared to begin running.

Excellent news for d'Arnaud, who has been sidelined since mid-April with a broken bone in his left foot. The 24-year-old backstop is expected to return to game action within 3-4 weeks and should make his major league debut at some point during the second half.

Justin Turner - 1B - Mets

Justin Turner is dealing with an intercostal issue and may have to be placed on the disabled list.

No word on how or when the injury occurred, though it's worth noting that he flung a pie in the face of Kirk Nieuwenhuis during the team's post-game celebration on Sunday. Turner, 28, is batting .266/.307/.300 in a utility role with the Mets this season.

Lucas Duda - OF - Mets

Lucas Duda will start at first base for the first time this season in Monday's game against the Braves.

Meanwhile, Daniel Murphy has moved back over to second base while Jordany Valdespin is on the bench. Mets manager Terry Collins has resisted using Duda at first base because they anticipate Ike Davis returning at some point, but there's no question that they are a much better defensive team with Duda at first base as opposed to left field.
