Mets' Justin Garza: Optioned to Syracuse

The Mets optioned Garza to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Garza will be shipped back upstate after giving up four earned runs in two innings during his outing Friday. He'll be joined on the trip to Syracuse by Blade Tidwell, while Chris Devenski and Tyler Zuber are coming up to fill the open spots on New York's roster.
