Mets Catcher Gary Sánchez DFA'd After Just Three Games; Nido Returns From IL

The Mets faced a roster crunch with multiple catchers and designated Gary Sánchez for assignment just three games after calling him up.
Tomás Nido returned from the injured list, prompting the move to DFA Sánchez.
Sánchez recorded just one hit in seven at-bats across three games with the Mets.
Nido is still sore after being hit by a pitch but will resume backup duties behind rookie Francisco Álvarez.
The Mets are 5.5 games behind the first-place Braves in the NL East.
