Jose Azocar News: Loses 40-man roster spot

The Mets designated Azocar for assignment Thursday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

Azocar will give up his spot on the Mets' 40-man roster after slashing .250/.283/.318 with six RBI and seven runs scored across 46 plate appearances in the Grapefruit League. The 28-year-old's career .610 OPS makes it likely he'll pass through waivers unclaimed, at which point he would likely see regular time at Triple-A Syracuse.
