According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, the New York Mets have optioned Fernando Martinez to AAA Buffalo to make room for Willie Harris who is being activated from the bereavement list. Harris was put on the bereavement list Wednesday when he learned that his wife, who was just 5 months pregnant, had gone into labor. Unfortunately the couple lost the baby the next morning.

Martinez is hitting .227/.261/.455 in 11 games this season. Harris is hitting .242/.336/.308 on the season.
