Mets demote Morris, call up Verrett from Triple-A

After Wednesday’s game, the Mets demoted RHP Akeel Morris to the minors and called up RHP Logan Verrett from Triple-A Las Vegas ().

Morris, who was called up earlier this week from High-A St. Lucie, was promoted to Double-A Binghamton upon his demotion.

Morris allowed five runs in 2/3 of an inning on Wednesday night in his only appearance with the Mets.

Verrett, who the Mets lost in the Rule 5 draft to the Orioles over the winter, wound up with the Rangers before they designated him for assignment in late-April. After passing through waivers, Verrett was returned to the Mets on May 4.
