Mets' Buddy Baumann: Designated for assignment

Baumann was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday.

The Mets needed to clear a spot on their active and 40-man rosters for the return of Anthony Swarzak, and Baumann was the choice to go. This move isn't all too surprising, as the 30-year-old allowed a whopping eight runs across three innings for the Mets this season. He'll now be subjected to waivers.
