For Those Calling for Eric Valent's Head, There's This...

Eric Valent's double tonight could not save his job, and could not prevent the return of Victor Diaz. Valent was designated for assignment following Friday's night's 1-0 victory over the Marlins, and Victor Diaz will make his return to the bigs as the Mets will call him up to take Valent's place on the roster. Valent was hitting .186 with no home runs and one RBI in 28 games. Diaz batted .294 with four homers and 15 RBIs in 28 games with the Mets before being optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on May 16.
