Dominic Smith is back from the bereavement list today. Chance Sisco is sent down to Triple-A Syracuse.

Luis Rojas said it was difficult to leave out J.D. Davis, who has had success against Nats lefty Patrick Corbin in limited chances (28 at-bats). But he couldn’t bring himself to take out Jonathan Villar. https://t.co/f3I1d5QOZP

Per sources, third baseman Mark Vientos – Mets No. 6 overall top prospect – has been promoted to Triple-A Syracuse.

In 72 games for Double-A Binghamton this season, Vientos crushed 22 home runs and slashed .281/.346/.580 with a .927 OPS.

Pre-game Mets Tweets 9/5/21 - deGrom tossing; Chance Sisco feeling better;

 

Mets catcher Chance Sisco says he's feeling better after that home-plate collision with Andrew Stevenson on Friday night. He felt a little foggy yesterday, but concussion tests came back negative and he's feeling OK today.

The Mets optioned Travis Blankenhorn back to Triple-A Syracuse today. They'll carry three catchers for now, with James McCann only just coming back from injury and Chance Sisco still ailing.

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) September 5, 2021

Robert Gsellman, who has been sidelined since June 19 due to a torn right lat, is scheduled to pitch today for Class A St. Lucie. It's the beginning a rehab assignment for Gsellman, who should be back in the Mets' bullpen later this month.

— Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) September 5, 2021

Looks like Jacob deGrom is stretching out to 100+ feet today for the first time in his catch progression. He had previously been at 75 feet. Still probably a week away from getting on a mound, though, which is the much bigger step.
