Mets recalled INF Luisangel Acuna from Triple-A Syracuse.
Acuna hit .258 with seven home runs, 50 RBI and 40 steals in 131 games at Triple-A this year. With Jeff McNeil out for the rest of the season and Francisco Lindor dealing with a back issue, it was pretty much a no-brainer for the Mets to call up the 22-year-old, who was already on the 40-man roster. DJ Stewart was optioned to Triple-A to make room on the active roster. Acuna could immediately be a good source of speed if he can get on base, though he had a .299 on-base percentage at Triple-A this year.
