Kaczmarski

The move clears a 40-man roster spot for reliever Bobby Wahl, who will join the Mets on Thursday. Kaczmarski has posted strong numbers this year in the upper minors -- including a .357/.421/.444 batting line at Triple-A -- and should draw interest on waivers.

Kaczmarski cleared waivers after being designated for assignment late last week. The 26-year-old has put up a strong .357/.421/.444 batting line in Triple-A this year and will stick around as organizational depth.

The 26-year-old has hit .346 in the minors this year including .363 over 80 at-bats for Las Vegas. A ninth-round pick out of Evansville in 2015, this will be Kaczmarski’s first stint in the big leagues.

Kaczmarski was batting .363/.413/.450 in 92 plate appearances at the Triple-A level, but he doesn’t have enough power to warrant attention in standard fantasy leagues. The 26-year-old outfielder has tallied just 11 home runs in over 1,400 career minor league plate appearances.

Kaczmarski got very little playing time during his three-week stay at the major league level. He’ll return to an everyday role with the Mets’ Triple-A team.
