\n ATLANTA \u2014 Jared Hughes came sprinting from the bullpen before the bottom of the eighth inning and then took the shorter route, from the Mets dugout, for the ninth.<\/p>\n

The two-inning stint for the reliever in his Mets debut lacked drama, which was the best result he could have hoped forMonday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis guy is a veteran,\u201d manager Luis Rojas said after Hughes pitched two scoreless innings in the Mets\u2019 7-2 victory over the Braves. \u201cYou are thinking of a guy that wasn\u2019t in camp with us, we didn\u2019t see him in game<\/a>s, now you are going to see him in competition immedia<\/a>tely. A good addition to the bullpen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hughes missed camp after testing positive for COVID-19 and experiencing symptoms. He was added to the 30-man roster Sunday.<\/p>\n

Hughes entered after Justin Wilson had escaped Jeurys Familia\u2019s bases-loaded jam in the seventh by retiring Freddie Freeman.<\/p>\n

Michael Conforto was told in the dugout before the game that he was moving from cleanup to the No. 2 hole with Jeff McNeil sidelined. Conforto responded with a 3-for-5 performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a big deal,\u201d Conforto said. \u201cMoving up in the lineup I was thinking I might get a fifth at-bat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Dominic Smith\u2019s time with the Mets may have finally arrived.<\/p>\n

With Yoenis Cespedes finished after opting out for the season, the vacancy exists for the 24-year-old Smith that had previously been nonexistent. Smith started in left field on Mondayagainst the Braves, but also factors into the DH mix. Smith is still Pete Alonso\u2019s backup at first base.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were definitely looking to put Dom in there, whether it was in left, at first, DH and now it\u2019s going to happ<\/a>en a little bit more,\u201d Rojas said.<\/p>\n

Smith spent most of last season coming off the bench because of an outfield glut, and even the addition of the DH to the NL this season hadn\u2019t provided him much of an opening, with Cespedes\u2019 return to the lineup.<\/p>\n

Smith entered play with a .250\/.375\/.500 slash line with one homer and five RBIs in 16 plate appearances.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can count on a quality at-bat with him,\u201d Rojas said. \u201cDespite his young age we have talked about how mature he has handled the role of not starting every day and being ready when he gets the chance.\u201dRight now he is getting the chance and we\u2019re really looking forward to putting him in there any time we could.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Ali Sanchez was recalled from the team\u2019s alternate training site, giving the Mets a third catcher. Rojas said carrying a third catcher will provide a safety net in pinch-running for Wilson Ramos in the late innings.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
