Daniel Vogelbach - Losing playing time Vogelbach remains on the bench for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact The lefty-hitting Vogelbach will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher (Zach Davies) for the third time in four matchups. Though Vogelbach has maintained an excellent .995 OPS over his last 20 games, he looks as though he'll lose out on playing time down the stretch while the Mets prioritize youngsters Mark Vientos and Brett Baty at designated hitter.

Impact Alvarez had to be removed from Sunday's win over the Twins after being hit on the hand by a pitch. X-rays came back negative and he's considered day-to-day, but the young catcher will miss at least one start. Omar Narvaez is behind the dish Monday.

Jett Williams - Moving up to Double-A Williams has been promoted from High-A Brooklyn to Double-A Binghamton, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Impact Williams was better at Brooklyn following a midseason promotion than he was at Low-A St. Lucie, collecting a .266/.431/.461 batting line with 13 home runs, 44 stolen bases and a 108:102 K:BB over 115 games between the two stops. The excellent showing has earned him a late-season look at the Double-A level, which is quite impressive considering he won't turn 20 until November. Williams has mostly played shortstop this season but can also handle center field.
