According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, the New York Mets are in discussions to bring up outfield prospect Khalil Lee for his major league debut this weekend. The Mets could use some insurance in their outfield after placing Brandon Nimmo on the injury list.
With Brandon Nimmo on the injured list, the Mets have instructed seventh-ranked prospect Khalil Lee (of their recent KC-BOS trade) to be ready, per sources. Team officials have not yet decided if they will activate Lee…the earliest would be Friday, when the Mets return home.
New York acquired Lee as part of a three-team trade in February that involved the Red Sox and the Kansas City Royals.
