Mets' T.J. McFarland: Designated for assignment

The Mets designated McFarland for assignment Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

With Jose Quintana returning from the 60-day injured list, McFarland will be cut loose to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. The 34-year-old lefty pitched just 1.2 innings during his time in New York, allowing one run and striking out two batters. He's been solid in Triple-A, so it's possible another team will claim McFarland off waivers.
