Drew Smith is back, but perhaps not all the way back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Mets activated the reliever on Sunday, but then stayed away from him during a 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks at Citi Field because Carlos Mendoza said they will be \u201ccareful\u201d with the righty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Smith missed nearly six weeks with right shoulder inflammation and was briefly shut down from an initial rehab assignment because he felt a pinch in his shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c[We need to] really make sure that we put him in a situation where we\u2019re not putting him at risk,\u201d Mendoza said before he used every relief pitcher except Smith and Adrian Houser, with Jake Diekman blowing the save.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Smith pitched Wednesday and Friday with Triple-A Syracuse and thus, Mendoza said, was only available in an \u201cemergency situation\u201d on Sunday, such as an extra-inning game when the bullpen was emptied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mendoza said the Mets are \u201ccomfortable where [Smith is] at physically.\u201d The 30-year-old was used twice in April on back-to-back days, a usage that Mendoza likely will avoid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Smith pitched well in March and April, when he logged a 2.70 ERA in 10 games, and his return could be significant for a bullpen that has missed him. <\/p>\n
Edwin Diaz is on the 15-day injured list, Brooks Raley is out for the season, Jorge Lopez\u2019s meltdown led to his DFA and an overworked group of relievers has struggled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Smith projects to help, but the Mets hope not too often.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to be mindful about how we\u2019re going to use him,\u201d Mendoza said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Mets are keeping quiet on their new celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After significant hits, Mets batters have looked toward their dugout and slapped the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a team thing,\u201d Tyrone Taylor said. \u201cI can\u2019t speak on it, but it\u2019s a great thing that we have together. It builds team camaraderie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luis Torrens, whom the Mets traded for Friday, made his team debut, caught seven pitchers and went 0-for-2 with a walk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLou is a pretty smart guy,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cThe past couple of days, he\u2019s been very invested in our meetings, talking to [pitching coach Jeremy Hefner] \u2026 catching bullpens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFeel good with him behind the plate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kodai Senga threw on flat ground again. It is unclear when the rehabbing righty will return to a mound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In activating Smith, lefty Josh Walker was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dedniel Nunez (1 \u00b9\/\u2083 scoreless innings allowing one hit and striking out three) has struck out 18 through his first 10 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings in the majors, which is the most by a Mets reliever through his first seven big-league games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The recently optioned Brett Baty clubbed a pair of home runs with Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday in a 7-1 win over the Buffalo Bisons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
