Parra

Parra was on the DL with a hip injury, but broke the finger while rehabbing.

Parra, 33, spent time in the majors with the Mets in 2004, giving up five earned runs in 14 innings. He was out of baseball last season. The Mets will likely stash him away in Triple-A.

Parra, who was signed to a minor league contract in December, isn’t expected to have a place on the club out of spring training.

Parra, who pitched for the Mets for a month in 2004 and spend last year in Japan, was considered a long shot to make the team. He’ll miss the entire season.

Parra, 31, is back in the majors for the first time since 2002. He had a 1.63 ERA in 24 appearances as Norfolk’s closer. The Mets will use him in middle relief.

The Mets didn’t wait until tomorrow to open up a roster spot. Parra had been doing a great job for the Mets before giving up three earned runs on Saturday. He still has a 3.21 ERA in 14 innings, so he’ll probably have a job when he comes back.

Parra likely will miss at least another couple of weeks. He’s been on the DL since July 19 with a strained hip flexor.

Parra, who went on the DL last month with a strained hip flexor, suffered a broken finger in a rehab start. He’ll be out until at least mid-September.
