Mets' Nick Morabito: Records first major-league hits Wednesday
Rotowire
Morabito went 2-for-2 with a three-run double during the Mets' 10-4 win over the Rays on Wednesday.
Morabito entered the game as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, and his single in the frame was his first major-league hit. He followed that up with a bases-clearing double in the seventh, giving the Mets a commanding 9-4 lead. Morabito was called up from Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Tuesday and could see some reps in the outfield in a rotational role.

Mets' Nick Morabito: Headed to big leagues
Rotowire
The Mets recalled Morabito from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.
Morabito will help restore some depth in the outfield after the Mets lost Luis Robert, who was claimed off waivers by the Orioles. The 23-year-old was in the majors for a brief spell earlier this season, going 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts at the plate. Morabito has slashed .254/.355/.388 with 13 home runs and 42 stolen bases across 114 contests for Syracuse this season. With Robert no longer around and Juan Soto limited to designated-hitter duties for the time being, Morabito could see some reps in the outfield down the stretch.

Mets' Nick Morabito: Optioned after hitless stint
Rotowire
The Mets optioned Morabito to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.
Morabito had a rough introduction to the big leagues, going 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts. He'll return to Syracuse, where he's slashed .253/.364/.390 with four home runs and 14 stolen bases across 41 contests this season.
Morabito will start in left field and bat seventh Tuesday versus the Nationals in his major-league debut.
Most of the right-handed-hitting Morabito's playing time -- at least initially -- is expected to come against lefties, and he's in there Tuesday versus southpaw Foster Griffin. The rookie was promoted earlier in the day after slashing .253/.364/.390 with four home runs and 14 stolen bases across 41 contests with Triple-A Syracuse.

Mets' Nick Morabito: Ticketed for Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mets optioned Morabito to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
New York thought highly enough of Morabito to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft this winter and add him to the 40-man roster, but the 22-year-old may need multiple injuries to hit the Mets outfield in order to get a look in the big leagues in 2026. Morabito will be making his Triple-A debut to begin the upcoming season after he spent the entire 2025 campaign at Double-A Binghamton, where he slashed .273/.348/.385 with six home runs and 48 stolen bases over 491 plate appearances.

Mets' Nick Morabito: Another 40-steal season
Rotowire
Morabito is hitting .273 with six home runs, 45 steals, a nine percent walk rate and a 24 percent strikeout rate in 112 games for Double-A Binghamton.
The speedy outfielder has been at least 18 percent better than the average hitter in the leagues he has played in since rookie ball in 2023, but he has also steadily hit the ball on the ground too often. Morabito had a 55 percent groundball rate last year and has a 53.4 percent groundball rate this year, so while he attempts to pull the ball, unlike some speed-first outfielders, he hasn't had much success lifting the ball in the air consistently. The righty-hitting 22-year-old has stolen 104 bases in 231 games over the past two seasons.
