In a related move, the Mets have claimed Pat Misch off of waivers from the San Francisco Giants.
Misch will be optioned to Triple-A Buffalo, likely replacing whomever gets the call to the big leagues. Billy Wagner was moved to the 60-day DL to make room for Misch on the 40-man roster, according to Bart Hubbuch.
In four games with the Giants in 2009, Misch allowed six hits and four earned runs in 3 1-3 innings. He has a 10.80 ERA and 2.700 WHIP.
