Genesis Cabrera News: DFA'd by Mets

The Mets designated Cabrera for assignment Saturday.

Since joining the active roster at the start of May, Cabrera has given up three earned runs and posted a 7:3 K:BB in 7.2 innings. He'll now be pushed aside in favor of Brandon Waddell, who was selected from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old Cabrera owns a 3.58 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 70.1 frames since the start of last season and could capture the attention of other organizations browsing the waiver wire for bullpen help.
