Mets designated INF Zack Short for assignment.

He was previously designated for assignment on June 24 and stayed with the Mets in Syracuse. The Tigers designated Short for assignment in early June and lost him to the Mets on waivers. The 31-year-old will get the chance to elect free agency again if he clears.

Bo Bichette (leg) was held out of the Mets’ starting lineup for the third consecutive game on Sunday.

Bichette did appear as a pinch-hitter in Saturday’s contest, though he was lifted or a pinch runner after he drew a walk. Expect him to be available off the bench once again on Sunday afternoon. Zack Short will once again start in his place at second base and bat eighth for the Mets while Bretty Baty covers the hot corner.

Bo Bichette is not in the Mets’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Red Sox.

It’s nothing more than a routine night off for the 28-year-old infielder. Brett Baty will slide over and cover the hot corner while Zack Short draws a rare start at second base and will bat ninth for the Mets against Red Sox’ right-hander Sonny Gray on Friday evening in New York — assuming that the Red Sox eventually arrive.

Mets purchased INF Zack Short’s contract from Triple-A Syracuse.

Short went 1-for-8 in three games with the Mets earlier this year. He’ll likely just be bench depth with the occasional start rather than a threat to be in the major league lineup in any real role.

Mets sent INF Zack Short outright to Triple-A Syracuse.

Short was designated for assignment on Wednesday when Francisco Lindor returned from the injured list. It’s unclear if the 31-year-old infielder will accept the outright assignment or hit the open market once again and continue his tour around the league.

Chelsea Janes of SNY reports that the Mets will designate Vidal Bruján for assignment.

Bruján will hit the waiver wire, assumedly to make room on the roster for the recently-claimed Zack Short. Brujan could see interest from other teams interested in a player who can play multiple positions and provide some speed off the bench.

Mets claimed INF Zack Short off waivers from the Tigers.

Short strengthens New York’s bench depth by adding some defensive versatility as a backup infielder. The well-traveled 31-year-old was cut loose by Detroit last week after hitting .167 with zero homers in 23 games this season.

Tigers designated INF Zack Short for assignment.

The 31-year-old glove-first shortstop slashed a woeful .167/.304/.222 with zero homers, two RBI and a 12/7 K/BB ratio in 46 plate appearances with the Tigers. It’s possible that he could land with another team that’s interested in a quality defender as infield depth.
