The Mets have designated right-handed pitcher William Woods for assignment, a move that was made to open a spot for the 40-man roster for fellow right-handed pitcher Adam Ottavino, whose signing has now been made official.
Woods was claimed off waivers by the Mets from the Braves back in mid-November. The 23-year-old has just two major league innings to his name thus far, having made 18 starts and 41 relief appearances in Atlanta’s farm system since he started his professional career in 2018. Across three levels this year, Woods had a 6.04 ERA in 25.
