The Mets outrighted Short to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Jul 20Rotowire

Short will remain in the Mets organization as infield depth at Triple-A after he went unclaimed off waivers when New York designated him for assignment Thursday. The 31-year-old has produced a middling .140/.262/.180 slash line in 62 plate appearances at the big-league level between the Mets and Tigers this season.

The Mets designated Short for assignment Thursday.

Jul 16Rotowire

Short was selected to the active roster Friday to provide some extra infield depth during the final weekend before the All-Star break, but he'll now lose his spot to make room for Marcus Semien's (hip) return from the IL. Short went 0-for-6 with a walk during his three-game stint with the Mets and is likely to spend most of the second half working as organizational depth in the minor leagues.

The Mets selected Short's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Jul 10Rotowire

Short will provide some infield protection with Marcus Semien (hip) and Mark Vientos (hand) sidelined. The right-handed-hitting Short could see some starts against left-handed pitching.

Jun 30Rotowire

Short no longer possesses a spot on the Mets' 40-man roster, but he'll stick around in the organization as infield depth at the Triple-A level. The 31-year-old has appeared in 26 games in the majors this season between the Tigers and Mets, slashing .159/.278/.205 across 55 plate appearances.

The Mets designated Short for assignment on Wednesday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Jun 24Rotowire

Short has now been pushed off a 40-man roster for the second time in less than two weeks after Detroit previously designated him for assignment June 12. The 31-year-old appeared in just three games for the Mets after being claimed off waivers. He'll give up his roster spot to shortstop Francisco Lindor (calf), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cubs.
