Mets plan recalls of six players after earlier roster churn

The Mets are set to recall six players on Wednesday to fill roster spaces opened by trades completed earlier the same day. According to Will Sammon’s report for Yahoo Sports, New York will bring up Dedniel Núñez, Jefry Yan, Nate Lavender, Chayce McDermott, Xzavion Curry and Cristian Pache after trading away a group of players in the run-up to the deadline.

At the time of the report, the Mets were carrying 21 players on their active roster, leaving room for the club to complete the next phase of its roster construction with additional recalls. This type of transaction sequencing is common around the trade deadline, when clubs often adjust both their short-term roster needs and their longer-term player development timelines.

The list of players reflects a mix of in-system experience and recent minor-league options. One detail singled out in the report was Xzavion Curry, who had been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday. The recall suggests the organization still intends to keep him available at the Major League level immediately after deadline-related roster moves reset playing-time needs.

Jefry Yan and Chayce McDermott are also among the group slated for the move. Lavender and Núñez round out the set, giving the Mets additional depth that can be used to cover bullpen or bench needs depending on daily matchups and game situations. Cristian Pache is the other position player named for a call-up, completing the six-man total described in the report.

The Mets’ approach highlights a broader deadline pattern in baseball: teams frequently prioritize flexibility on their active roster, then use recalls to absorb the downstream effects of trades. Even without a full slate of confirmed details in the report itself, the operational point is clear. New York expects to turn over the active roster by at least six names as part of its end-of-day deadline execution.

For fans, the practical question now becomes how the Mets deploy these players once they are added. The next watch items are the first day of active-roster usage and the corresponding decisions for pitchers and position players, especially given that Curry’s most recent assignment was to Syracuse only days earlier.

Because the report is focused on the roster mechanics and does not provide a fuller accounting of each trade’s target players or contract status, some context around the exact trade returns and the Mets’ intended on-field roles for each recalled player will likely become clearer once the club issues official roster moves or the players appear in games.
