Sam Navarro-Imagn Images New York Mets star prospect Carson Benge and AJ Ewing are about to be joined by another one of the club’s top minor league outfielders this week. Entering May, things looked pretty grim for the Mets. They lost 12 straight at one point in April and had one of the worst records in MLB.

However, they started to show some life early this month, and to the joy of New York fans, have gathered some real steam over the last two weeks. They have won six of their last seven, including getting two of three off in-city rivals the New York Yankees over the weekend, and a wild 16-7 win on Monday against the Washington Nationals , where they scored 10 runs in the 12th inning. Interestingly enough, both Ewing and Benge have played a role in the team’s improved play of late.

The youngsters are bringing life to the clubhouse and energy on the field. Well, it seems the Mets’ decision-makers want to mine more of that electricity to the benefit of their big league roster. According to The Athletic’s Will Sammon , the team plans to promote stud outfield prospect Nick Morabito this week.
