Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post reports that the Mets have designated infielder-outfielder Marlon Anderson for assignment. The move was neccessary in order to clear roster space for fifth starter Livan Hernandez, who will start Saturday night against the Marlins.
Anderson, 35, was hitless in four at-bats for the Mets this season. He hit .208/.236/.245 during spring training.
