Mets' Jimmy Yacabonis: Designated for assignment

Yacabonis (quad) was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Yacabonis had been on the injured list since May 9 while recovering from a left quad strain. Now he has lost his 40-man roster spot and heads into DFA limbo with an ugly 9.00 ERA in nine major-league innings for the year.
