Late call-ups can lead to some crazy situations when players try to get to their games. The New York Mets made the decision late on Wednesday to place Brandon Nimmo on the injured list and call up Rajai Davis.
Davis found out he was getting the call at 5 p.m. ET. At the time, he was in Allentown, PA, taking batting practice with the Syracuse Mets, while the big club’s game started at 7.
So he did what people often do when they need rides today; he hailed an Uber for the two-hour ride.
