Mets' Logan Verrett: Optioned to Triple-A

Verrett was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

He lost his spot in the big league rotation after getting hammered for eight runs over 2.2 innings Friday. Jon Niese moves into the rotation and Gabriel Ynoa was recalled to provide bullpen depth as a corresponding move. Verrett could be an option to slot back into the rotation down the road if Niese struggles.
