Lost in the weekend excitement of taking two out of three from the New York Yankees in the Bronx was a roster move made by the New York Mets. Jonathan Villar was activated from the 10-day IL. The roster spot he took: outfielder Albert Almora.
Almora was signed this offseason to provide the Mets with some outfield help from the bench.
