The Mets designated right-hander Jack Egbert for assignment, according to the team's transactions page. The Mets called right-hander Chris Young up and added him to the roster in a related move.
Egbert, 29, appeared in one game for the Mets last week, inducing two outs in a loss to the Phillies. The Staten Island native has spent most of the season at Triple-A, where he has a 2.08 ERA with 5.9 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9 in 26 innings.
