The Mets made a few moves ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The team announced they have recalled LHP Brandon Waddell, and utilityman Jared Young from Triple-A Syracuse. In corresponding moves, they have designated outfielder Jose Azocar and LHP Genesis Cabrera for assignment.
With the 13-inning game on Friday night, Waddell's call-up comes at a time when the Mets need a lift after using every arm in the pen. Waddell had made one appearance earlier this season, pitching 4.1 scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks on April 30.
