The Mets have placed Dominic Smith on the injured list with a stress reaction in his left foot and called up Aaron Altherr to take his place on the active roster. Smith has been playing the outfield regularly lately in an effort to get him playing time as a hitter, while Altherr is a natural outfielder who has struggled mightily at the plate in his recent stints in the majors.
Although Smith has cooled off over the past few weeks, he’s still put up impressive numbers so far this year.
