Starting rehab Wednesday Villar (calf) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Syracuse, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact The rehab assignment doesn't figure to be a lengthy one, as Villar has only missed about a week with his right calf strain. The 30-year-old will likely have a reduced role once activated, but his versatility will keep him in the mix around the Mets' infield.

Set for rehab assignment Villar (calf) is expected to report to Triple-A Syracuse for a rehab assignment sometime this week, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact The 30-year-old landed on the injured list Friday with a strained right calf, but the Mets apparently still plan to send him on a rehab assignment before returning him to the big-league roster. J.D. Davis will begin his rehab stint Wednesday, so Villar likely will have a reduced role once both players return from the shelf.

Placed on 10-day IL Villar was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain Friday, retroactive to June 22.

Impact Villar left the second game of Monday's doubleheader with a calf injury and hasn't returned since. He was unavailable for Friday's twin bill and will have additional time to recover. Luis Guillorme will start at third base and bat sixth in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader, while Travis Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of the nightcap.

May be unavailable Friday Villar (calf) continues to be evaluated, and the Mets are uncertain about his availability for Friday's doubleheader versus the Phillies, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record report...

Impact The 30-year-old sat out the past two games after exiting Monday's twin bill with tightness in his right calf, and it appears he'll be limited, if available at all, for Friday's doubleheader. Villar's calf issue is to the same leg in which he felt hamstring tightness earlier in June, so the team is being extra cautious to avoid worsening either injury. Unsurprisingly, he's not in the starting nine for Friday's matinee, per Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News.

Not starting Wednesday Villar (calf) isn't starting Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Villar underwent an MRI on Wednesday that came back clean, but he'll still be out of the lineup for a second straight contest. However, manager Luis Rojas said that the 30-year-old will be available off the bench, so he should still be considered day-to-day.

Dealing with calf tightness Villar exited Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta with right calf tightness and will be further evaluated Tuesday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Impact The utility man departed after pulling into second base with a double in the sixth inning. Villar will get looked at again Tuesday, at which point the Mets should be able to get a grasp on the severity of the issue.

JUNE 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with apparent injury Villar left Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against Atlanta in the sixth inning with an undisclosed injury, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

Impact The infielder was checked on by the team's trainer after hitting a double in the bottom of the sixth inning and ultimately departed. It's not clear what is bothering Villar at this point, though it's worth noting he missed time in early June with a hamstring issue. Jose Peraza replaced him as the pinch runner and figures to stay in the game at third base.
