Mets Designate Reliever Richard Lovelady for Assignment Again

The New York Mets have designated left-handed reliever Richard Lovelady for assignment to create room on the 26-man roster for veteran Craig Kimbrel. This marks the fifth time in less than a year that Lovelady has been DFA'd by the organization, illustrating the ongoing volatility and roster churn within the Mets' bullpen. Lovelady will now head to the waiver wire, where other teams will have the opportunity to claim the southpaw as the Mets continue to shuffle their relief options.
