The Mets have designated right-handed pitcher Corey Oswalt and catcher Ali Sánchez for assignment to make room on their 40-man roster for new acquisitions Albert Almora Jr. and Khalil Lee, respectively. Both Oswalt and Sánchez will be exposed to waivers as a result.
Drafted by the Mets back in 2012, Oswalt has struggled in his limited time at the major league level over the past three seasons. In total, he’s pitched 84.1 innings with a 6.19 ERA and 5.67 FIP across 23 appearances, thirteen of which were starts.
Sánchez has just ten plate major league appearances to his name, all of which came last year during the shortened 2020 season, which included expanded rosters.
