The Mets have called up Nick Evans from Double-A Binghamton, reports Bart Hubbuch on his blog for the New York Post. The report comes from the Binghamton Press.

Evans is a right-handed batter who has played first base, third base and left field, but it stands to reason that he was called up to provide some depth to an outfield that has been decimated with injuries.

Moises Alou is out with a hamstring injury and Marlon Anderson left the game tonight with an apparent hamstring injury while running to first base. Ryan Church is still recovering from a concussion he sustained while sliding head first into second base a few nights ago.

Evans was hitting .292 with eight homers and 31 RBIs in 45 games with the B-Mets. In the game Evans was pulled from tonight, Mike Carp hit a two RBI double that gave Binghamton the win.

Hat tip to Peter Wade for the news.
