Metropolitan designated left-handed relief génescabrera And outfielders José Azocar Make allocations. This clears a pair of active rosters Brandon Waddell and Jared Youngeveryone is recalled from Triple-A Syracuse. Neither Cabrera nor Azocar were the choices, so the Mets needed DFA to take them out of the major league roster. Their 40-man lineup count dropped to 38.
Cabrera and Azocar have been selected as MLB teams in recent weeks. After the team lost, the former was called AJ Minter and Danny Young Perform end-of-season surgery. The 28-year-old Cabrera made six appearances and ran three times in 7 2/3 innings. He hit seven, walking three, while his fastball averaged about 96 miles an hour. It wasn't a bad show.
Unfortunately for Cabrera, he was a victim of the situation. The Mets and the Dodgers played 13 innings last night. Cabrera played two on 20 courts, and it may not be available today. In addition to the extra four frames, the game has a long third-game rain delay Canned Griffin Don't try to raise him up after layoffs. As a result, all eight members of the New York bullpen ended up shooting 7-5. Waddell didn't pitch for six days on Triple-A and would almost certainly get some work David Peterson tonight.
Azocar is a more direct roster. He has been the fifth outfielder since the Mets chose the contract on April 17. He only started five games in a few weeks. Last night, Azocar appeared as a pinch runner, the first time he played in any capacity since May 14. They will swap him for Young, who signed a split deal in the offseason and will make his team debut. Young is a left corner outfielder/first baseman who has 5 home runs hit .259/.371/.506 in 22 games at Syracuse. He will provide more bat exquisite profiles on Carlos Mendoza's bench.
The Mets have five days to trade Cabrera and Azocar or put it on a waiver. It is possible that they find smaller trade interests in Cabrera, although Azocar seems likely to be exempted and unclaimed (as he did in spring training). Both players have previous careers, meaning each of them can reject minor league missions and choose free agents if they clear the waiver.
