In addition, the Mets transferred RHP Tylor Megill to the 60-Day Injured List and returned RHP Colin Holderman from his rehabilitation assignment, reinstated him from the Injured List and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse."

NY Post: Mets’ Pete Alonso, Starling Marte have chance to start All-Star game “Results released Monday — ahead of the 2 p.m. Thursday deadline that ends the first phase of voting — show no Mets position player leads his position in votes. But Pete Alonso (958,777) is second to the Cardinals’ Paul Goldschmidt (1,562,027) at first base, and Starling Marte (765,362) is fourth in the outfield, which is led by the Dodgers’ Mookie Betts (2,270,566), the Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr. (2,197,684) and the Giants’ Joc Pederson (1,090,260).”

NY Poat: Luis Guillorme’s constantly evolving Mets role about to get telling sign “As Jeff McNeil is expected to return Tuesday, the question will become whether Guillorme is relegated back to the bench or whether he has earned, at the very least, a consistent part-time job — perhaps at the expense of Eduardo Escobar. “
