Rico Garcia has pitched well in two different stints with the Mets this season, but it appears he is being cut loose again for a fresh bullpen arm.
Garcia is being designated for assignment following Saturday's win over the Giants, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
The right-hander was in cleanup duty as he worked the ninth inning of Saturday's victory and he gave up a meaningless two-out, two-run homer to shortstop Willy Adames.
Prior to that, he had allowed just one earned run and three hits across four strong appearances since making his return to the organization.
Overall, Garcia has pitched to a 2.13 ERA and 0.71 WHIP as a Met.
The last time he was DFA'd he ended up being scooped up relatively quickly by the Yankees, but he was let go after one bad outing and returned to the Mets.
With New York parting ways again, they open up a spot on the 40-man and active roster.
