The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move is to make room on the 26-man roster for the activation of Reed Garrett (elbow) from the 15-day injured list. Young has made seven outings since being claimed off waivers by the Mets on July 17, posting a 1.29 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across seven innings. Given his strong play in a small sample size, Young could make his way back to the big club to provide a southpaw option out of the bullpen.
