Paulino, Cervelli Return from DL

The Mets have activated C Ronny Paulino from the 15-day disabled list.  He had been on the disabled list since April 10 with anemia.  Paulino had a setback during rehab which caused his stay on the DL to be extended by about a week.  Before being placed on the DL, he finished the final eight games of a 50 game suspension stemming from a failed PED test late last season.  To replace him on the roster, the Mets have optioned C Mike Nickeas to Buffalo.  He played well enough in his time in New York to be a suitable backup catcher but didn't open any eyes beyond that point.

The Yankees have activated C Francisco Cervelli from the 15-day disabled list.  He has not played at all this season due to a fractured left foot.  To replace him on the roster, the Yankees have optioned C Gustavo Molina to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.  He was largely ineffective during his time on the roster.
