A.J. Ewing’s performance has dipped this August, with a .165/.240/.209 slash line, contributing to a season OPS of .667, culminating in an 0-for-4 outing during the Mets’ 3-1 loss to the Astros. Despite this, interim manager Andy Green praised Ewing’s at-bat quality and cited bad luck rather than a lack of effort. Additionally, Jorge Polanco underwent ankle surgery and is expected to progress normally in spring training, while Green lauded Yordan Alvarez as a top hitter, comparing him to Barry Bonds. The Mets have also made roster changes, promoting Chris Devenski and sending Xzavion Curry to Triple-A Syracuse.
