The Mets transferred Locastro (back/thumb) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Gary Sanchez, who is joining New York's major-league roster Friday. Locastro originally landed on the injured list April 17 due to a lingering back issue and then recently suffered a UCL sprain in his right thumb. The thumb injury could require surgery.
