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.

New York Mets released Danny Muno on June 28, 2016.

2006

In his worst outing as a Met during two seasons with the team, Pedro Martinez is routed by his former Red Sox teammates in his return when the Mets drop a 10-2 decision. The Fenway crowd, who chanted, "Pedro! Pedro!" before the game, showed their appreciation of the Dominican's history as a Red Sox player with a standing ovation during yesterday's video tribute which highlighted the right-hander's achievements with Boston.

2009

Mariano Rivera joins Trevor Hoffman in becoming only the second pitcher to record 500 major league saves. The right-handed reliever, who also registers his first RBI of his 15-year career, reaches the milestone by getting the last four outs in the Yankees' 4-2 win over the Mets at Citi Field.

 

2011

After playing 299 games without a grand slam, the Mets hit two bases full homers in the span of seven at-bats during their 14-3 rout of Detroit at Comerica Park. Jason Bay breaks the nearly two-year drought with a fourth-inning round-tripper, and Carlos Beltran goes deep, six batters later in the fifth frame.

2015

Steven Matz, who goes 3-for-3 at the plate, becomes the first pitcher to drive in four runs in his major league debut, delivering a two-run double in his first at-bat and then driving in another pair with a sixth-inning single. The Mets' 24 year-old rookie right-hander from Stony Brook, NY, gives up five hits and two runs in 7.2 innings en route to earning his first victory when the Mets beat Cincinnati at Citi Field, 7-2.

 Baseball Reference:

1987:  Pinch hitter Greg Gross breaks up Ron Darling's no-hitter with a leadoff triple in the 8th inning and two Phillie rallies beat the Mets, 5 - 4.

1994: Mets P Dwight Gooden receives a 60-day suspension for violating terms of his drug aftercare program

2010: Edwin Rodriguez, who became the first Puerto Rican manager in major league history last week, wins a game in front of his countrymen as the Marlins defeat the Mets, 10 - 3, at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It is the first major league game played in the stadium since the MLB-owned Montreal Expos were forced to move a number of home games there in 2003 and 2004. A crown of more than 18,000 is on hand for the historic game. With Bobby Valentine turning down an offer to manage the Marlins, Rodriguez will be confirmed as Florida's skipper for the remainder of the season.
