Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis was told Saturday by Mets general manger Sandy Alderson that a demotion is not imminent.

ESPN New York reported Saturday morning that there were intensifying internal discussions about sending the struggling first baseman to Triple-A, but Davis got the vote of confidence on Saturday afternoon directly from the man who would make that decision. Davis estimated that he has about a month to turn it around.

Jeremy Hefner - S - Mets

Jeremy Hefner was tagged with four runs in four innings Saturday in a loss to the Cubs.

Hefner tossed three scoreless frames before he gave up four runs in his final inning of work. The big blow as a two-run double by opposing pitcher Scott Feldman. Hefner had been pitching better recently, but the poor outing pulls his ERA back to 5.00 for the year. He shouldn't be an option outside of deeper NL-only leagues.

Rick Ankiel - OF - Mets

Rick Ankiel went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer Saturday against the Cubs.

Ankiel is 6-for-20 (.300) with two homers, four RBI and six strikeouts since joining the Mets earlier this week. The 33-year-old is not going to hit for a high batting average, but he has enough pop to be useful in NL-only leagues as long as he gets regular at-bats in center field.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Mets GM Sandy Alderson confirmed Friday that Travis d'Arnaud (foot) should be ready to play in minor league games by the end of June.

D'Arnaud is still in a walking boot, but he's hoping to be cleared for weight-bearing activities in two weeks. The 24-year-old suffered a non-displaced fracture of the first metatarsal in his left foot during a mid-April game at Triple-A Las Vegas and will continue to be moved along slowly. D'Arnaud won't be a candidate for a promotion to majors until well into the second half of the season.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

ESPN New York reports that the Mets have "intensified" discussions about potentially demoting Ike Davis.

Davis was able to snap a six game hitless streak Friday, but he may not have more than this weekend's series against the Cubs to prove he deserves to avoid a demotion. If Davis is sent down, the Mets are expected to call up Andrew Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace him on the active roster. Davis is batting .160/.245/.267 with four home runs in 38 games this season.

Jenrry Mejia - S - Mets

Jenrry Mejia (elbow) racked up six strikeouts over three innings during his first minor league rehab start with High-A St. Lucie on Friday.

Mejia has been on the disabled list for the entire season with inflammation in his pitching elbow. He's likely to require a relatively lengthy rehab assignment, and shouldn't be expected to return to the Mets until early June. Should he secure a spot in the Mets rotation, he could carve out a decent amount of value in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues.

Travis d'Arnaud - C - Mets

Mets prospect catcher Travis d'Arnaud (foot) can't do anything weight-bearing for another two weeks.

D'Arnaud suffered a non-displaced fracture of the first metatarsal in his left foot four weeks ago in Triple-A. The Mets were hoping that he would be able to shed his walking boot Friday, but there was always the chance that he would need more time. The 24-year-old backstop is unlikely to return to game action until the end of June.

Zack Wheeler - S - Mets

Zack Wheeler was placed on the 7-day disabled list with Triple-A Las Vegas due to his recent clavicle soreness.

It's just a procedural move, as Wheeler was cleared of any structural damage during a visit with team doctors in New York. The 22-year-old right-hander is scheduled to return to action on May 22 and should be on his way to Queens at some point in June.

Matt Harvey - S - Mets

Matt Harvey allowed two runs in 7 1/3 innings Friday to beat the Cubs and move to 5-0.

Both runs were earned because Alfonso Soriano was credited with an infield single on his grounder in the first. In reality, that ball should have been an out, which probably would have resulted in just one run scoring in the frame. Harvey ended up striking out six and walking none today. Oddly enough, all six of those strikeouts ended innings.

David Wright - 3B - Mets

David Wright went 3-for-4 with a homer and a steal against the Cubs on Friday.

Wright turned his right ankle coming around third base late in the game, but he was able to walk it off. An elite fantasy bat so far, he's hitting .312 with six homers and nine steals.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Mets manager Terry Collins said Thursday that he is committed to batting Ike Davis cleanup "through the weekend."

Davis went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts Thursday and is now hitless over his last 22 at-bats, dropping his batting average to .157 for the year. The Mets are trying to be patient with the 26-year-old first baseman through his prolonged slump, but he can't keep killing rallies in the middle of the order for much longer.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis is batting cleanup again on Thursday.

Davis went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals and is now batting .164/.254/.279 with 41 strikeouts in 36 games this season. But the Mets want to get the first baseman going and will stick with him in the four spot for Thursday's series finale at Busch Stadium. The Cards are going for the four-game sweep.

Shaun Marcum - S - Mets

Shaun Marcum allowed three runs -- two earned -- over 6 2/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Cardinals.

It was Marcum's best start of the season by far, though he wound up taking the loss. He scattered four singles and a double while issuing only one walk and striking out three. The right-hander will carry an 0-4 record, 6.75 ERA and 1.69 WHIP into his next start against the Reds.
May 15 - 11:33 PM
Rick Ankiel - OF - Mets

Rick Ankiel went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI but the Mets fell to the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Ankiel singled in the top of the second inning and then hit a game-tying two-run homer in the top of the seventh. But the Mets wound up losing their third straight game in St. Louis. Ankiel is 2-for-8 since joining New York.
May 15 - 11:30 PM
Jon Niese - S - Mets

Jon Niese believes he ironed out his mechanical issues since his last start.

Niese watched himself in a mirror while he worked on trying to keep his body tall and on a straight line. He also threw more max-effort pitches than usual in his between-starts bullpen session and considered it his best session of the year. The left-hander has allowed 15 runs over his last two starts but will be looking for better results on Thursday in St. Louis.
