\"Mets<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Azocar and G\u00e9nesis Cabrera, two veterans recently designated for assignment by the Mets, are either seeking or have already found new organizations. Az\u00f3car has elected free agency after the Mets outrighted him following his DFA, and Cabrera is set to sign a major league contract with the Cubs. Both players started the 2025 season in Triple-A Syrcause before getting called up to the Mets\u2019 major league roster.<\/p>\n

In just 20 plate appearances, Azocar hit .278\/.350\/.278 with an 88 wRC+, and he only got into 12 games after the Mets called him up from Triple-A Syracuse.<\/p>\n

Cabrera threw 7.2 innings for the Mets and had a 3.52 ERA with a 4.11 FIP. He struck out seven, walked three, and gave up one home run in that span.<\/p>\n

Azocar was replaced on the Mets\u2019 active roster by Jared Young, who has already gotten nine plate appearances, nearly half of Azocar\u2019s total. And Cabrera was replaced, at least temporarily, by fellow left-handed pitcher Brandon Waddell.<\/p>\n

Both replacements have options and give the Mets some roster flexibility, particularly on the pitching side as the team is set to activate Paul Blackburn in the near future\u2014with the returns of Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea in the works. Montas made his first rehab outing of the season in Brooklyn on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
