The Mets have designated Elmer Dessens for assignment and promoted Robinson Cancel, according to Bart Hubbuch.
Hubbuch claims this move was made to add “depth due to knee issues for Brian Schneider.” It is also because the Mets were going to be forced to have a three-man bench today, with Luis Castillo possibly missing the entire first game due to the birth of his daughter.
This also frees up Omir Santos on days Schneider is catching for some pinch-hitting duties.
Cancel was hitting .218 AVG / .266 OBP / .259 SLG for triple-A Buffalo.
