The Mets have designated right-handed pitcher Collin McHugh for assignment, according to the team (Twitter link). The move clears a roster space for Carlos Torres, who was promoted earlier today.
McHugh had appeared with the Mets briefly this season, pitching to a 10.29 ERA, 3.9 K/9, and 3.5 BB/9 over seven innings. The 25-year-old performed much better in Triple-A Las Vegas this year, with a 2.87 ERA, 6.9 K/9, and 2.2 BB/9 across 53 1/3 innings.
