The Mets designated Canario for assignment Thursday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets acquired Canario this offseason in a trade with the Cubs, and the 24-year-old did a nice job in spring training, logging a 1.030 OPS with three homers and eight RBI through 43 plate appearances. He'll ultimately miss the cut for New York's Opening Day roster, but his age and consistent success at the plate are sure to draw attention from other clubs on the waiver wire.
