Mets recall Danny Muno from Triple-A, demote Johnny Monell

Maybe the 26-year-old infielder can trigger any kind of spark to the team's depleted lineup.

The Mets decided to shake up their bench following a 9-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, calling up infielder Danny Muno from Triple-A Las Vegas. Backup-backup catcher Johnny Monell has been demoted as the corresponding roster move according to Adam Rubin of ESPN NY.

Muno had one hit in six at-bats over his four-game stint for the Mets earlier this season. He figures to have a more prominent bench role this time around, considering how poorly the Mets' offense has been for the past month.
