Mets Activate OF Tyrone Taylor, DFA OF Jose Siri
The Mets chose to activate defensive standout Tyrone Taylor over Jose Siri, who struggled offensively with a .063 batting average in 16 games, to strengthen their playoff roster.

- Returning from rehab, Tyrone Taylor spent three weeks on the injured list after a left hamstring strain and completed a stint at Triple-A Syracuse, while Jose Siri returned Sept. 9 from a fractured left tibia but struggled.

- Because Jose Siri lacks a guaranteed contract, the Mets won't owe him money beyond this year and he could be a non-tender candidate in the offseason.
