Also on Wednesday, the Mets announced that they had designated Zack Short for assignment.
Short appeared in just three games for the Mets (after recently being claimed off waivers from the Detroit Tigers).

Ronny Mauricio has also been reinstated and optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.
Looking At Short
Short was picked in the 17th round of the 2016 MLB Draft.
He has played part of six seasons in the MLB.
In addition to the Tigers and Mets, the 31-year-old has also spent time with the Atlanta Braves, Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox.
Short is batting .171 with 94 hits, 15 home runs, 69 RBIs, 64 runs and 10 stolen bases in 267 career games.
It will be interesting to see if another team takes a chance on Short before the end of the 2026 season.
