Mets designated RHP Jack Egbert for assignment. Egbert was cleared to make room for Chris Young on the 40-man roster. He seems likely to pass through waivers unclaimed and return to a 2.08 ERA in the minors.

Mets purchased the contract of RHP Jack Egbert from Triple-A Buffalo. Egbert, who hasn't appeared in the majors since a two-game stint with the White Sox in 2009, held a 2.08 ERA over 17 games for Buffalo. Robert Carson was sent down in a corresponding move.
