Mets adjust roster as Carson Benge deals with wrist soreness
Summary

The New York Mets made a roster change after rookie outfielder Carson Benge suffered a left wrist injury during Friday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Benge, who has had a solid season with a.270 batting average and 13 home runs in 422 at-bats, was injured while making a sliding catch and later reported that his X-rays were negative. While he is expected to miss only a few days and will not be placed on the 10-day injured list, the Mets claimed Gabriel Arias from the Cleveland Guardians to bolster their depth. Eric Wagaman was optioned to Triple-A to accommodate Arias on the active roster, reflecting the temporary nature of Benge's injury.
