Mets place Tomás Nido on injured list, call up Michael Pérez

The Mets have placed catcher Tomás Nido on the injured list with dry eye syndrome and called up fellow catcher Michael Pérez from Triple-A Syracuse to take his palce on the roster. To make room on their 40-man roster, the team transferred right-handed pitcher Elieser Hernández to the 60-day injured list.

In 55 plate appearances this year, Nido has hit just .118/.148/.118 with no home runs—and no extra-base hits, for that matter—with a -24 wRC+. While defense has always been his best trait as a major league player, he’s sitting on a -0.6 fWAR in that limited playing time this season.
