The Mets announced that OF Jake Marisnick was placed on the 10-day IL on Monday with right hamstring tightness.

It’s an ailment that he has been battling all season long, and now he is done for the rest of the season with just seven games left on the schedule.

"Frustration is kind of a good word for it," Marisnick said on how he's felt this season with his injuries. "...I don't like sitting on the sidelines watching, so this hurts a little bit for me."

In his first year with the Mets, Marisnick’s shortened season stats were .333/.353/.606 average in 33 at-bats with two homers, three doubles and five RBI over 16 games.

"I like playing until I can't anymore....but the last couple of day's (the hamstring's) been pretty sore," Marisnick said. "In a season like this you've got to push things a little harder than you would in a normal season...but I think we got to that point where I wasn't able to do what I'm capable of."

Taking Marisnick’s spot on the roster is Guillermo Heredia, who was recalled from the team’s Alternate Training Site. Heredia was claimed off waivers by the Mets back in late August.

Heredia most recently played with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2019, hitting .188 in 16 at-bats with them in eight games. His overall career numbers include a .239/.317/.339 slash line with 17 homers and 77 RBI over five seasons in the bigs.

Heredia is already getting some action, as Luis Rojas will have him play center field and bat eighth against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night.
