Cecchini will be added to the Mets' 40-man roster and promoted to the majors Tuesday, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.
The Mets will make room for Cecchini by placing Neil Walker on the 60-day disabled list. Cecchini has morphed from a good-field, little-hit shortstop when he was drafted to one who is more known for his offense. He likely won't see much action, but can back up both middle-infield spots after seeing time at second base recently at Triple-A Las Vegas.
