Danny Mendick Stats

The New York Mets and free-agent infielder Danny Mendick agreed to a one-year, $1 million deal on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The 29-year-old was non-tendered by the Chicago White Sox after he hit a strong .289/.343/.443 in 106 plate appearances and 31 games for them in 2022. The Mets will get four years of control with Mendick, who underwent surgery on his right knee in June to fix a torn ACL. The 29-year-old may not be ready for the start of the 2023 season, but he'll provide the Mets with a strong utility infield bat once he's ready to return. In his four major-league seasons (all with the White Sox), Mendick has hit .251/.309/.366 with a .675 OPS, 10 home runs, 45 RBI, 53 runs scored and a stolen base in 151 games played.

The Chicago White Sox placed infielder Danny Mendick (knee) and outfielder Adam Engel (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Mendick will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee, while Engel is sidelined with a strained right hamstring. The White Sox selected infielder Lenyn Sosa's contract from Double-A Birmingham and moved outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) to the 60-day IL in corresponding moves. Mendick injured his knee during a collision on Wednesday, and it's a shame since he was hitting .289/.343/.443 with three home runs and 15 RBI in 31 games for the Pale Hose. With Engel sidelined, both AJ Pollock and Adam Haseley should see more playing time moving forward.

Chicago White Sox second baseman Danny Mendick (knee) is slated for an MRI. He exited Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays early due to right knee discomfort. The 28-year-old went 1-for-1 before being removed from the game during a collision in the second inning. The White Sox utility player was finding his groove at the plate and had collected a hit in 11 of the last 12 games, including two home runs and nine RBI during that stretch. Mendick is considered day-to-day, and more if timeline will be known once the MRI results are in.
