Grant Hartwig, who has been in the Mets' bullpen for parts of the last two seasons, underwent surgery today to repair a torn left knee meniscus, the team says. He's going to be sidelined 6-8 weeks, which means this shouldn't necessarily be season-ending.

This move may seem like a nothing waiver claim on the surface, but be aware that Ellis has 121 steals and an 88 percent success rate during a 247-game professional career. If the Mets want to carry a full-time pinch-runner in September or beyond, Ellis profiles as the type.
