Overview
- The Mets, according to multiple outlets late Monday, will add Ewing to the roster before Tuesday’s home opener against the Tigers at Citi Field.
- Ewing earned the promotion after batting .339 with a .447 on-base percentage and 17 steals across Double-A and a 12-game stint at Triple-A this season.
- New York sits at 15-25 with one of baseball’s weakest offenses, and injuries to Luis Robert Jr., Francisco Lindor and Jorge Polanco have depleted the lineup.
- Reporters expect Ewing to handle center field with Carson Benge in a corner and Juan Soto rotating to left field or designated hitter, and the club still must clear an active and 40-man roster spot.
- Ranked the Mets’ No. 2 prospect and a top-100 talent, Ewing brings elite speed, contact skills and improving defense in an aggressive call-up after limited Triple-A time.
