Mets' Denyi Reyes: Contract selected

The Mets selected Reyes' contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

New York cleared room on the 40-man roster by transferring Bryce Montes de Oca (elbow) to the 60-day injured list and cleared space on the 26-man active roster by placing Tommy Hunter (back) on the 15-day IL. Reyes has prior major-league experience, as he recorded a 2.35 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 7.2 innings with Baltimore last season. He'll likely be limited to low-leverage work out of the bullpen while he's up with the Mets.
