Right-hander Max Kranick has cleared waivers and been outrighted off the Mets' 40-man roster. Kranick was designated for assignment earlier this week, and he'll now report to Triple-A Syracuse.
Kranick still has a minor league option remaining so the Mets can freely move him back and forth between the majors and minors, though he'll first have to be placed back on the 40-man roster before his next call back to the Show.
The long layoff resulted in Kranick receiving a fourth minor league option year, as the league often grants the extra option year to players who have missed an extended amount of time due to injury. Kranick has a 3.63 ERA over 84 1/3 career Triple-A innings and will serve as rotation depth for the Mets.
