Dominic Smith is back, at least for now.
The Mets decided Thursday to put left-hander Steven Matz on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Sunday, with radial nerve discomfort in his left forearm. They called up Smith to take that roster spot, six days after sending the first baseman/pinch hitter to Triple-A Syracuse when they opted to carry infielder Adeiny Hechavarria instead.
Manager Mickey Callaway has said that Matz's nerve issue is not considered a significant one, though the possibility of him being officially sidelined lingered all week.
