Mets' Tim Locastro: Lands on outright waivers

The Mets placed Locastro on outright waivers Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Locastro can become a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old outfielder showed pretty well in limited action this season with New York, but he's a career .228/.327/.337 hitter in 616 total major-league plate appearances.
