Mets' Edwin Uceta: Moves off 40-man roster

The Mets designated Uceta for assignment Wednesday.

Uceta will cede his spot on the 40-man roster to reliever Dennis Santana, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday. Before he was activated from the injured list and sent back to Syracuse on Sunday, Uceta had made just one three-inning relief appearance for the Mets this season.
