Mets Designate Hammer for Assignment | New York Mets News

The Mets just designated pitcher Dan Hammer for assignment — called up yesterday from Triple-A but never got to pitch — as part of a whirlwind roster shakeup that’s seen five players moved in four days. Hammer, a former Oriole prospect, had a solid Triple-A run (1.77 ERA, 21 Ks in 20+ innings) but walked 17 batters, possibly tipping the scales. With bullpen fatigue and roster optimization in mind, the Mets are making tough calls — especially for players who’ve been called up but never gotten their MLB chance. It’s a familiar, necessary cycle for any team in the thick of a long season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
