The Mets tweeted later that "Brandon Nimmo left tonight’s game with right ankle soreness. He will undergo imaging tomorrow and updates will be provided when appropriate."

Yahoo Sports/SNY.TV:

Yesterday the Mets announced that they claimed Dennis Santana off waivers from the Twins. "The Dominican Republic native appeared in 63 games for the Texas Rangers last year, going 3-8 with a 5.22 ERA (34 ER/58.2 IP) with 28 walks and 54 strikeouts." 

John Harper SNY.TV: How Mets' Brett Baty's work ethic has helped him improve defensively. "Doing the work has always been part of his profile, going back to growing up in Austin, Texas as the son of a high school basketball coach who believed there was no substitute for putting in long hours."

Transactions:

New York Mets traded Jesse Orosco to the St. Louis Cardinals for Joe McEwing on March 18, 2000.

New York Mets released Luis Castillo on March 18, 2011.

Per National Pastime.com:

2000

After reacquiring Jesse Orosco from the Orioles in December, the Mets send the veteran left-hander to the Cardinals for utility player Joe McEwing. In 1978, the eventual four-decade hurler (1979-2003) was the player to be named later in the trade when New York dealt veteran southpaw Jerry Koosman to Minnesota.

2011

The Mets make a symbolic, but expensive, roster move when they release their second baseman, Luis Castillo. The embattled 35 year-old infielder, who will be best remembered by New York fans for the dropped popup in a 2009 Subway Series game at Yankee Stadium and his inability to stay healthy, is still owed the remaining $6 million on the four-year, $25 million contract he signed before the 2008 season.
