The New York Mets have designated infielder Vidal Brujan for assignment prior to their game against the Cincinnati Reds. Brujan appeared in just nine games for the Mets, with a.538 OPS after one hit in 13 at-bats. This move likely clears the way for infielder Zack Short, who was claimed off waivers. Short brings six years of MLB experience but has a career batting average of.172. Brujan previously cleared waivers before Opening Day after being DFA'd by the Mets.
