Josh Thole's wife Kathyrn is in labor, so the Mets have called up Mike Nickeas from Triple-A Buffalo to temporarily fill Thole's roster spot. Nickeas was traveling from Syracuse and was not expected to arrive until after the first pitch.

Nickeas is batting .205 with one homer and 11 RBIs in 127 at-bats with the Bisons this season.
