The Mets have activated shortstop Francisco Lindor from the injured list, added relief pitcher Heath Hembree to their roster, and optioned infielder Travis Blankenhorn and relief pitcher Yennsy Díaz to Triple-A Syracuse.
Lindor hit the injured list over a month ago with an oblique strain, having last played in a game for the Mets on July 16. One of the best defensive shortstops in the game, his stats as a hitter had been a bit underwhelming in his first year with the Mets, as he has a .228/.326/.376 line with 11 home runs and a 97 wRC+.
