The New York Mets acquired right-hander Wilmer Font from the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
The team moved outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to the 60-day disabled list in a corresponding move. Cespedes hasn't played yet this season after undergoing surgery on both heels last year.
Font, 28, is 1-0 with a 5.79 ERA in 10 appearances this season. He has 18 strikeouts and five walks in 14 innings pitched.
The Rays acquired Font in a trade with the Oakland Athletics last year.
