Mets recalled LHP Sam Clay from Triple-A Syracuse.
He’s taking the place of R.J. Alvarez in the Mets bullpen after the left-hander was designated for assignment on Wednesday. Clay struggled in six big league appearances with the Nationals this season, posting a 10.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 3/3 K/BB ratio over 4 1/3 innings.
