Bostick cleared waivers and was outrighted the Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.
Bostick was designated for assignment Friday but will remain in the organization after clearing waivers. He'll return to Syracuse, where where he has a 6.21 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 29:23 K:BB over 37.2 innings this season.

Mets' Akeem Bostick: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Bostick was designated for assignment Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Bostick was called up for the first time Wednesday and made his big-league debut the next day, tossing a single scoreless inning of relief. Given that he had a 6.21 ERA at the Triple-A level prior to his promotion, he seemingly stands a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed.

Mets' Akeem Bostick: Getting first big-league call-up
Rotowire
The Mets will select Bostick's contract from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
New York will need to open up spots on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Bostick, and they'll presumably do that by designating Jerad Eickhoff for assignment for the third time this season after he was rocked for 10 runs across 3.1 innings in Tuesday's 12-5 loss. Due to the short start from Eickhoff and a doubleheader two days earlier, the Mets' bullpen has been overworked of late, so Bostick should give the team some much-needed length in relief. The 26-year-old has typically served as a starter for Syracuse this season, posting a 6.21 ERA and 1.77 WHIP across 37.2 innings over his 10 appearances.

Astros' Akeem Bostick: On DL with hand issue
Rotowire
Bostick was placed on the 7-day disabled list Saturday with a hand injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Bostick left Friday night's game after recording just one out in what appears to have been the aggravating event. The 22-year-old righty was making just his second appearance with Double-A Corpus Christi after receiving a promotion last month and had begun to show potential as an established starter. The severity of the injury is unknown at this point, but Bostick will look to improve upon his 3.28 ERA when he returns.
