MLB-Worst Mets Promote Prospect A.J. Ewing for Opener with Tigers

A.J. Ewing hit .326 with three doubles and five stolen bases in Triple-A before the Mets added the 21-year-old to their roster.

  • The New York Mets are promoting outfield prospect A.J. Ewing from Triple-A Syracuse to help their stagnant offense, The Associated Press confirmed on Monday night.
  • Desperate to improve a lineup lagging near the bottom of MLB, the Mets entered Monday with the worst record in the majors while managing injuries to star shortstop Francisco Lindor and first baseman Jorge Polanco.
  • The 21-year-old Ewing, a 2023 fourth-round draft pick from Springboro High School in Ohio, brings "big-time speed" to center field after stealing 70 bases last season, Jon Heyman of the New York Post noted.
  • Before the series opener against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, the Mets must clear a 40-man roster spot and may shift Juan Soto to designated hitter or left field.
  • New York sits 12.5 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the National League East, struggling to gain consistency after losing 12 straight games earlier this season.
