June 24: The Mets have a designated catcher Joe Hudson by assignment, according to the group's announcement. His place in the lineup will go to another fullback Luis Torrenswho was restored to the father's list.
Shortstop Hudson was named to the Mets' roster earlier this month before the team's game in London against the Phillies. He last appeared in one major league game, however, and did not appear at the plate.
The short stint was the 33-year-old Hudson's first major league start as of 2020. He totaled 18 games in the majors during a 13-year career, racking up 33 plate appearances in that short span. Hudson is 5 for 30 with two walks, two walks and six strikeouts in the majors. The former sixth-round pick is a career .229/.333/.398 hitter in six Triple-A seasons – including a .237/.392/.441 showing in 21 games with the Mets' Syracuse affiliate this year.
The Mets will have a week to try to get Hudson off waivers outright, trade him or release him.
