Mets Daily Prospect Report, 8/4/21: Even when the news is good, it’s actually bad

*All results from games played on Tuesday, August 3, 2021

Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (26-51)

Vance Worley was good and Syracuse still couldn’t win a damn game. The veteran right hander allowed only two runs over seven innings, but the Met offense managed only a paltry three hits and didn’t score a run until the ninth inning. This team is largely bereft of notable prospects (outside of Khalil Lee and, if you squint, Travis Blankenhorn) or strong performers, so there’s nothing further to discuss here.

• CF Mason Williams: 1-4, K
• LF Mark Payton: 1-3, BB, K
• SS Wilfredo Tovar: 1-4, R, K, SB (6)

ROSTER ALERT: CF Wagner Lagrange assigned to Syracuse Mets from Binghamton Rumble Ponies.

Double-A: Binghamton Rumble Ponies (32-44)

BINGHAMTON 9, PORTLAND 0 (BOX)

A rare dominant win for the Rumble Ponies, who managed to score nine runs without a home run and twirl a shutout on the other side of the ball. Jose Butto was the star of the game, tossing six scoreless innings and striking out four. Still, it wouldn’t be a Met game without some potential bad news - Mark Vientos departed the game in the fourth inning and was replaced at third base by Yoel Romero. As of midnight on Wednesday morning, no update has been made to his status.

• DH Carlos Cortes: 3-5, R, 2B, 2 RBI, K
• LF Brett Baty: 1-4, 2 R, BB, K

• 1B Matt Winaker: 1-3, R, BB
• SS Manny Rodriguez: 0-3, BB, 3 K
• RHP Jose Butto: 6.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, W (1-0)
• RHP Allan Winans: 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (30-47)

HUDSON VALLEY 5, BROOKLYN 0 (BOX)

Edgardo Fermin’s second inning single was the only Brooklyn hit in this game so...yeah. Jaylen Palmer had an ugly day in his debut, striking out three times. Ronny Mauricio and Francisco Alvarez went hitless, with the latter drawing a walk. Really not a lot to talk about in this one.

• CF Jaylen Palmer: 0-4, 3 K
• LF Antoine Duplantis: 0-4, 2 K
• SS Ronny Mauricio: 0-4, K
• C Francisco Alvarez: 0-3, BB, K

• RF Zach Ashford: 0-2, BB, SB (4)
• 3B Jose Peroza: 0-2, BB
• 1B Cody Bohanek: 0-2, BB, 2 K, E (8)
• RHP Jaison Vilera: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, L (2-6)
• RHP Joe Cavallaro: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 0 K
