Padres' Sam McWilliams: Claimed by Padres

McWilliams was claimed off waivers by the Padres on Saturday.

McWilliams was designated for assignment by the Mets on Monday after he posted a 10.80 ERA and 2.22 WHIP in 8.1 innings across seven relief appearances for Triple-A Syracuse to begin the season. He'll likely report to Triple-A El Paso going forward, while right-hander Taylor Williams (knee) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.
