The Mets reassigned Cortes from Triple-A Syracuse to Double-A Binghamton on Monday.
Cortes' demotion comes after he compiled a lowly .168/.231/.234 slash line across 117 plate appearances at Syracuse to begin the season. The Mets are hoping that the 24-year-old outfielder can regain some confidence at the plate against softer competition at the Double-A level.
