Mets' Edwin Uceta: Reinstated from IL, sent down

Uceta (knee) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Uceta had been sidelined since late April due to ankle and knee injuries, but he began a rehab assignment in early August and struck out two in four innings over four appearances. He'll remain with the Triple-A club now that he's healthy but will likely be a candidate to be called up if the Mets need bullpen help at some point.
