Mets' John Curtiss: Sent down to Triple-A

Curtiss was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

It's a bit of a surprise that it's Curtiss getting the demotion to make room for Joey Lucchesi, but the Mets will keep arms like Edwin Uceta and Jeff Brigham on the roster as multi-inning options. Curtiss figures to be back in the majors before too long.
