NEW YORK (AP) The New York Mets activated third baseman Todd Frazier from the disabled list before Thursday’s game with the Atlanta Braves.Frazier had been sidelined since July 9 with a left rib cage strain and appeared in two rehab games for Class A Brooklyn this week.”We’re glad to have Todd back http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-brandon-moss-jersey ,” manager Mickey Callaway said. ”We’re glad to have his leadership in the clubhouse. It’s always more fun with Todd around on the bench in the clubhouse, during the game. A guy you can plug into the middle of the lineup and he’s got a chance to go hit you a homer. So we’re glad that he’s back.”In the first season of a two-year deal, Frazier is hitting .217 with 10 homers and 32 RBIs in 61 games. Frazier also was sidelined from May 8 to June 2 with a strained left hamstring.The DL stints were the first of Frazier’s career, and he said he might need occasional days off.”You appreciate what Cal Ripken Jr. did,” Frazier said. ”It’s one of those things where, don’t be shy to ask for a day off every once in a while. It might help you in the long run.”Besides activating Frazier, the Mets purchased the contract of right-hander Bobby Wahl from Triple-A Las Vegas.New York also optioned right-handed reliever Jacob Rhame to Las Vegas and placed infielder Phillip Evans on the disabled list with a fractured left tibia.To make room for Wahl on the 40-man roster, outfielder Kevin Kaczmarski was designated for assignment.Wahl was one two players acquired on July 22 from Oakland for closer Jeurys Familia.Wahl is 4-2 with a 2.20 ERA with 12 saves in 38 combined appearances between Las Vegas and Nashville in the Pacific Coast LeagueEvans was injured when Adam Eaton slid into him at second base in the first inning of Wednesday’s 5-3 loss at Washington.The Mets said Evans will be on crutches for a few weeks and will be out for about a month.In four stints with the Mets, Evans is hitting 3-for-21 (.143) in 15 games.On Thursday, Callaway said he did not think Eaton’s slide was clean. The Mets challenged the call, arguing that the slide was illegal, but it was upheld after a replay review.”I thought it was a little high up on the leg Bo Jackson Jersey ,” Callaway said. ”We have an injured player that could be out the rest of the season because of it.”In six stints with the Mets, Rhame is 0-1 with an 8.00 ERA in 18 appearances. He allowed six runs in two innings in Tuesday’s 25-4 loss at Washington.Kaczmarzki appeared in four games and was optioned to Class AAA on July 11.— PHILADELPHIA (AP) — If this was it for Zack Wheeler, he finished strong and — probably most importantly — healthy.Wheeler pitched seven solid innings for his career-best 12th win in what may have been his final start of the season, Michael Conforto had a career-high six RBIs and the New York Mets beat the fading Philadelphia Phillies 9-4 on Monday night.Wheeler (12-7) allowed four runs and three hits to become the first Mets pitcher since Steve Trachsel in 2001 to record nine wins after the All-Star Game. Since the break, the right-hander is 9-1 with a 1.68 ERA in 11 starts.“Probably the best pitcher in baseball the last 1½ months,” Mets manager Mickey Callaway said.New York was eliminated from playoff contention Monday night when St. Louis beat Atlanta. Callaway wants to be cautious with Wheeler and said he would discuss with Mets management whether he makes another start.The right-hander is three innings shy of his career best, the 185 1/3 he threw in 2014 before injuries halted his promising career. Wheeler didn’t pitch at all in the majors in 2015 or 2016 following Tommy John surgery, and was limited to 86 1/3 innings last season due to a stress reaction in his pitching arm.“We want to make sure we’re taking care of the player,” Callaway said.Wheeler, who opened the season in the minors, is relieved to be pitching and feeling so well.“It’s been smooth sailing for the most part this year,” he said.Asked if he wanted to continue to pitch Paulo Orlando Jersey , Wheeler said, “Still feeling good. It’s not my call. I’ll leave it up to those guys.”Conforto, after a rocky start, also is feeling good. The Mets outfielder already has 22 RBIs this month, giving him 75 for the season.“If I put the work in and stayed positive, I knew at some point it would come around,” he said. “It feels like I’m not searching so much. It took five months I guess, but I finally got it.”Conforto had a two-run single in the fifth, an RBI double in the seventh and a three-run homer in the ninth for the Mets, who have won seven of 11 and are 26-17 over their last 43 games. Conforto has 45 RBIs since the All-Star break, second-most in the NL over that span behind Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich.“This is the Michael Conforto everyone wants to see,” Callaway said. “This is one of the better players in the league when he’s going like this.”The Phillies http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-danny-duffy-jersey , as a team, have been heading in the opposite direction.J.P. Crawford had a three-run triple for the Phillies, whose slim playoff chances took another hit. Philadelphia is 6½ games back of first-place Atlanta in the NL East and five games out of the wild card. The Phillies have lost eight of 11.Conforto’s two-out double in the seventh off Tommy Hunter (4-3) snapped a 4-all tie and helped the Mets continue their mastery of Philadelphia.Wheeler didn’t allow a hit until Wilson Ramos‘ leadoff single in the fifth that caromed off the glove of diving second baseman Jeff McNeil and into short right field. Wheeler then gave up a single to Nick Williams and hit Odubel Herrera with a pitch to load the bases. Crawford cleared them with a triple to right, and Cesar Hernandez’s sacrifice fly scored Crawford to tie it at 4.The Mets took a 4-0 lead against Jake Arrieta. Austin Jackson’s RBI double in the second got New York on the board, and the Mets scored three more runs in the fifth on Amed Rosario’s sacrifice fly and Conforto’s single to center.Arrieta was tagged for four runs and nine hits in five innings.PHILLIES’ FOILNew York has won 11 of 17 against the Phillies this season and is 44-20 in Philadelphia since 2012.“They’ve just flat-out beat us,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. “They have beat us in good matchups. They have beat us in bad matchups. They have just handled us well.”WALK THIS WAYPhiladelphia’s Carlos Santana walked in the second inning to reach 100 for the season for the third time in his career. He has 101 walks after a sixth-inning free pass.TRAINER’S ROOMPhillies: 3B Maikel Franco (neck) missed his fifth straight game. Kapler said he expects Franco to return in two or three days. … Williams (shoulder) returned to the lineup after sitting out the last three games. . INF Asdrubal Cabrera left in the fifth inning with a left calf strain. He will be re-evaluated on Tuesday.UP NEXTMets LHP Steven Matz (5-11, 4.18 ERA) opposes RHP Aaron Nola (16-5, 2.42) in the middle game of the series.
