Mets Outright LHP Brandon Waddell to Triple-A After Clearing Waivers

The New York Mets have outrighted LHP Brandon Waddell to Triple-A Syracuse after he cleared waivers. Waddell, who was brought back on a one-year major league deal this offseason and given a 40-man roster spot, was recently designated for assignment to make room for C Drew Romo. He will remain with the organization and is expected to start the year with Syracuse, but could contribute in the big leagues if needed. Last season, Waddell posted a 3.45 ERA over 31.1 innings in 11 outings with the Mets.
