NEW YORK -- Jorge López was cut by the struggling New York Mets on Thursday, a day after the reliever threw his glove into the stands following his ejection at Citi Field.
New York also recalled left-handed pitcher Danny Young from Triple-A Syracuse before a series opener against NL champion Arizona. The Mets have seven days to trade or release López, or to assign him outright to the minors if he goes unclaimed.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza had called the outburst "not acceptable" and said it would be handled internally. López expressed no remorse.
