ATLANTA (AP) — New York Mets right-hander Julio Teheran was designated for assignment on Tuesday, one day after he lasted only 2 2/3 innings in his debut with the team.
The Mets selected the contract of right-hander Dedniel Núñez from Triple-A Syracuse before Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Braves.
Teheran, 33, gave up four runs in Monday night's 8-7 win over the Braves. Teheran signed with New York on Friday. He began his career with Atlanta in 2011 and was an All-Star with the Braves in 2014 and 2016.
