The Mets beat the waiver trade deadline Wednesday night, acquiring right-handed reliever Fernando Salas from the Angels for minor league righty Erik Manoah.
Salas is 3-6 with a 4.47 ERA in 58 games (56 ¹/u2083 innings), but has four saves and a 2.93 ERA since the All-Star break. Salas is 19-21 with a 3.71 ERA in seven seasons.
To make room for Salas on the 40-man roster, outfielder Justin Ruggiano was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.
Manoah, 20, was 5-5 with a 5.37 ERA in 13 games for Single-A Brooklyn.
Jeurys Familia took over as the Mets’ single-season saves leader with his 44th in Wednesday’s 5-2 win over the Marlins.
