Guillorme optioned to get regular playing time

NEW YORK -- Wavering on how best to deploy Luis Guillorme, the Mets on Monday optioned the 23-year-old infielder to Triple-A Las Vegas, and called up utilityman Jack Reinheimer. The team also swapped a fresh reliever into its bullpen, recalling right-hander Tim Peterson and optioning Jacob Rhame.

Guillorme had amassed just 10 plate appearances in the Mets' last 13 games. Batting .444 in those contests, Guillorme extended his Major League-best streak of plate appearances without a strikeout to 52, but he could not work his way into the Mets' regular infield rotation.
