The Mets designated lefty reliever Josh Walker for assignment to open a roster spot for Ryne Stanek. Walker has had mixed success in his limited big league appearances, with an elevated ERA and walk rate.
Walker, a late 37th round draft pick, has shown promise in the minors with a career 3.85 ERA. Despite recent success in Triple-A, he struggles with high walk rates.
New York has the option to trade Walker or put him on waivers. He's in his second minor league option year, making him eligible for retention by another team in the minors.
