NEW YORK — Gary Sanchez is back in the Big Apple.
The Mets are calling up Sanchez from Triple-A Syracuse, according to reports. The catcher is expected to be activated Friday before the Mets host the Cleveland Guardians.
Sanchez signed a minor league deal with the Mets earlier in the month after he was released by the San Francisco Giants.
The former Yankee has excelled at the plate for the Mets’ Triple-A affiliate in Syracuse, slashing .318/.531/.546 with five RBIs in 32 plate appearances.
