Luis Guillorme hadn’t started a game since July 29 before he was sent down to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday and replaced on the roster by Jack Reinheimer.
“I think at this point, Guillorme had not played as much as we’d like him to play to continue to develop,” manager Mickey Callaway said before the Mets beat the Yankees, 8-5, in The Bronx on Monday night. “That was the main factor. We want to get him down there playing every day to improve his development.”
Callaway also pointed to the emergence of Jeff McNeil and the return of Todd Frazier as reasons why the 23-year-old Guillorme found himself without playing time.
