Carlos Gomez’s second stint with the Mets will begin Friday.
The veteran outfielder was informed following Thursday’s game for Triple-A Syracuse that the Mets were selecting his contract. It was unclear whether Gomez will be replacing Michael Conforto, who is headed to the seven-day injured list with a concussion, or if the team has decided to designate for assignment the struggling Keon Broxton. The Mets will have to give up another roster spot when Steven Matz is removed from the IL to pitch on Saturday.
Gomez came up in the Mets organization and was dealt to the Twins following the 2007 season as part of the trade for Johan Santana.
