Mets' Jerad Eickhoff: DFA'd by Mets

The Mets designated Eickhoff for assignment Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Unearned runs were the story of Eickhoff's outing Monday, but he was only able to get through 3.2 innings in the no-decision. His roster spot was required to call up Tuesday's starter, Robert Stock. Eickhoff figures to get another opportunity in the Mets' rotation this season, especially while Jacob deGrom (forearm) is sidelined.
