The New York Mets are expected to select Ewing’s contract from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Tigers, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Ewing was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse at the end of April, but with the big-league club scuffling, he’ll be fast tracked to the major leagues. The 21-year-old hit .326 with three doubles, four RBI, five stolen bases and nine runs over 12 appearances at Triple-A. Ewing could get a crack at taking over as the team’s everyday center fielder with Luis Robert (back) yet to resume baseball activities, though he figures to also see time at the corner outfield spots as well.
