The Mets selected Waddell's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Waddell will serve as a bulk reliever in Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks in what will be his first major-league appearance since 2021. The left-hander has posted a 1.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through five starts and 23.1 innings this season with Syracuse.

The Mets optioned Herget to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Herget was with the big club one day, allowing two runs (one earned) over two innings in his lone appearance. Brandon Waddell, who is scheduled to pitch in bulk relief Wednesday, is taking Herget's spot on the roster.

Winker is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

Right-hander Corbin Burnes has reverse splits, which helps explain why the left-handed-hitting Winker will begin this one on the bench. Starling Marte is batting fifth as the designated hitter for the Mets.

Nimmo (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

After a two-homer, nine-RBI effort Monday, Nimmo has now sat out back-to-back contests due to an illness. He is considered day-to-day. Jeff McNeil will patrol left field for the Mets on Wednesday.

Bohm is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

It's the first day off since April 6 and just the second day off this season for Bohm. Edmundo Sosa will play third base and bat eighth for the Phillies on Wednesday.

Thomas is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mets.

It's the second straight day out of the lineup for the left-handed-hitting Thomas, as the Mets started a lefty Tuesday and will use a southpaw bulk reliever Wednesday. The Diamondbacks are going with Jorge Barrosa in center field and in the No. 8 spot in the batting order.

Smith is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

The Mets have a right-handed opener in Huascar Brazoban, but southpaw Brandon Waddell is slated for bulk relief, so the left-handed-hitting Smith will take a seat. Randal Grichuk is in the designated hitter spot and batting third.

Perdomo is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Mets.

It's the first day off this season for Perdomo, who reached base twice in the first game of the series Tuesday. Garrett Hampson is at shortstop and batting ninth for the Diamondbacks.

The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Sauer registered his first major-league victory Tuesday versus the Marlins, allowing one run over five frames in a bulk-relief role. His removal from the 26-man roster creates a spot for Tony Gonsolin (back), who was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start in Wednesday's game against Miami.

The Dodgers activated Gonsolin (back) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Gonsolin will start Wednesday against the Marlins in his season debut with the Dodgers. The right-hander began the season on the IL with a back injury but is ready to roll after collecting a 3.21 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB over 14 innings covering four rehab outings. Gonsolin went five frames and threw 79 pitches in his last start, so he should be capable of throwing around 90 pitches Wednesday.
