The Mets have designated RHPs Kevin McGowan and Chasen Bradford for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for recently-signed OF/1B Jay Bruce and 1B Adrian Gonzalez.
McGowan allowed five runs on eight hits across 8.2 innings of relief last season. He walked six batters and struck out eight. He made his major league debut in August when the Mets hosted the Diamondbacks at Citi Field.
The 26-year-old spent the last four seasons progressing through the Mets' farm system after he was selected in the 13th round of the 2013 MLB Draft.
