The New York Mets designated outfielder Ender Inciarte for assignment on Thursday. The 31-year-old was activated by the Mets in late June and appeared in just 11 games for the Mets, going 1-for-8 at the plate. He's spent the bulk of the year playing at Triple-A. He began the year on a minor league contract with the New York Yankees before the Mets took a chance on him. The DFA was made to open up a roster spot for second baseman Jeff McNeil, who returned from the paternity list.
The New York Mets activated outfielder Ender Inciarte from Triple-A on Tuesday. In a pair of corresponding moves, the team optioned Nick Plummer to Triple-A and designated pitcher Locke St. John for assignment. Inciarte signed a minor league deal with the Mets about a week ago. He's played in a total of 38 games at Triple-A this year while on contract with both the Mets and Yankees. Over those 38 games, he's slashed .244/.323/.387 with four home runs, six stolen bases, 11 RBI and 14 runs. He'll solely provide outfield depth for the Mets for now and isn't someone worth monitoring for fantasy purposes.
The New York Yankees signed outfielder Ender Inciarte to a minor league deal on Wednesday. The three-time Gold Glover can sign with a team during MLB's lockout because he was not on a 40-man roster to end last year. The 31-year-old was an All-Star in 2017 and has hit .280 with 118 stolen bases and a 91 OPS+ in eight seasons in the majors. Inciarte is best known for his defense in center field, though, but he has seen a sharp decline with his glove since his last Gold Glove season in 2018. He played 52 games with the Atlanta Braves in 2021 before he was designated for assignment in July, and he finished out the year at Triple-A for the Cincinnati Reds before being released in August. The Yankees also signed center fielder Blake Perkins, shortstop Wilkerman Garcia and right-hander Vinny Nittoli to minor league deals.
The Cincinnati Reds signed outfielder Ender Inciarte to a minor league deal on Thursday. He is set to report to Triple-A Louisville to begin play within the organization. Inciarte played in 52 games for the Atlanta Braves this year before the team designated him for assignment. Over those 52 games, he slashed .215/.276/.316 with two home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs. He's primarily been a reserve outfielder over the last three years and would likely take on a reserve role with the Reds if he's able to make it back to the big leagues this year.
Ender Inciarte Activated From IL, Designated For Assignment
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (COVID-19) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list and then designated for assignment on Saturday, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. Inciarte was slashing .215/.276/.316 with two home runs, one steal, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored over 52 games this year, as he has struggled at the plate for three straight seasons now. He shouldn't have been rostered in any format before this move, but now he absolutely should be cut to the waiver wire.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. The team stated Inciarte tested negative, but he'll need to produce multiple negative tests before being eligible to return. At the moment, it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. In a corresponding move, left-hander Kyle Muller has been recalled. He'll take the mound against the San Diego Padres on Monday. This isn't a favorable matchup for Muller, but he could have some second half value.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte is expected to miss the next few games after being placed on the paternity leave list. He'll miss 1-3 games then have to go through the league's intake protocols before being cleared to take the field again. In the meantime, Guillermo Heredia will move into his spot in the outfield on Monday. Heredia is a speedy contact hitter, but doesn't offer much upside in terms of fantasy production.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (hamstring) was activated from the injured list on Thursday to take the place of injured rookie Cristian Pache. The 30-year-old outfielder will likely receive regular playing time as the club is also without Guillermo Heredia (hamstring). Inciarte is about three years removed from being fantasy relevant but he's shown the ability to hit for average and steal the odd base when his legs are healthy. Prior to his injury, he was hitting .294 in 12 games but had just 17 at-bats and was seeing most of his opportunities off the bench. During the 2020 stunted season, Inciarte hit just .194 with four extra-base hits in 46 games.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (hamstring) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain. This move was expected, considering Inciarte had to leave Friday's game after suffering the injury while running the bases. The Braves outfield is looking a bit thing with Inciarte and Cristian Pache (groin) already sidelined. Guillermo Heredia should see all the reps he can handle in the coming days. The team recalled right-hander Bryce Wilson in a corresponding move.
Ender Inciarte Likely Heading To IL With Hamstring Strain
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (hamstring) will likely be placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. Inciarte suffered the injury in the fourth inning while going from first to third on a double by pitcher Kyle Wright. This injury comes days after the Braves placed outfielder Cristian Pache (groin) on the 10-day injured list, and now they are down to Guillermo Heredia and Ronald Acuna Jr. in the outfield. O'Brien adds that the team would need to add another outfielder to the 40-man roster, or turn to utility players Johan Camargo or Ehire Adrianza as short term fixes. Inciarte hasn't shown much at the plate so far this season, slashing .294/.368/.353 with one double and three runs scored in 12 games.
