The Mets activated Tomas Nido, who had been on the IL with dry eye syndrome since May 10, on Thursday afternoon. To open up a roster spot for Nido, catcher Gary Sanchez was designated for assignment.
By DFA-ing Sanchez, the veteran catcher is immediately removed from the 40-man roster and the Mets now have seven days to either trade him or place him on waivers.
With Nido coming back, the Mets had a bit of a logjam at catcher with Francisco Alvarez and Sanchez already both on the active roster. There was some thought that perhaps Mark Vientos could be sent down to keep Sanchez around as a DH option, but instead it's the veteran Sanchez who is the odd man out.
"Our depth is good there at that position," Buck Showalter said.
Showalter wouldn't get into exactly how the catching split would work between Nido and Alvarez now that Nido is back in the mix, and Omar Narvaez is probably a couple of weeks away from returning himself.
Sanchez, who signed with the Mets on a minor league contract and made his debut with the club on May 21, hit .167 with one RBI and three strikeouts in six at-bats this season.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
