Mets' Tim Peterson: Designated for assignment

Peterson was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday.

The 28-year-old finds himself off the 40-man roster after recording a 3.60 ERA with a 28:10 K:BB in 25 innings for Triple-A Syracuse since being optioned in early June. Paul Sewald was recalled from Syracuse while Drew Gagnon was optioned to Triple-A in corresponding moves.
