Evans sent down to make room for Francoeur

Nick Evans was going to be sent down yesterday, but when the Mets traded away Ryan Church for Jeff Francoeur, he stuck around another day.

Francoeur had to make the trip from Colorado to New York and wouldn’t make it in time for the game, prompting the Mets to keep Evans around one more day.  Today, as Adam Rubin notes, Evans is starting at first base for the Buffalo Bisons today.

Francoeur will be with the Mets tonight, wearing No. 12.
