The Mets
optioned Waddell to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
AnalysisAfter giving up two runs in 3.2 innings out of the bullpen Friday, Waddell will be sent back to the minors in favor of
Kevin Herget, who will provide New York with a fresh arm. Waddell has surrendered eight runs over 12.1 frames across his last four MLB outings but could still make several more appearances for the Mets this season.
