The Mets announced a series of roster moves on Wednesday afternoon, all related to the club’s bullpen.

Right-hander Jonathan Pintaro has been called up and will be active for Wednesday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves, and left-hander Brandon Waddell has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse.

Additionally, left-handers Jose Castillo and Richard Lovelady have been designated for assignment.

Pintaro, who had just been promoted to Triple-A Syracuse, pitched well for Double-A Binghamton this season. In 11 starts (42.1 IP), Pintaro pitched to a 3.40 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP with 57 strikeouts. While he’s been a starter this season, Pintaro will pitch out of the Mets’ bullpen.

Castillo pitched to a 2.38 ERA in 13 games with the Mets after he was acquired in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Castillo had a rough outing on Tuesday night, when he allowed three inherited runners to score and was charged with two more earned runs in the Braves’ five-run sixth inning.

Lovelady was signed by the Mets earlier this week, and he also had a rough night on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on one hit and two walks in his team debut, pitching 1.2 innings.
