The New York Mets have selected the contract of former Toronto Blue Jays left-handed reliever Richard Lovelady.
Lovelady opened the year with the Blue Jays but made just two appearances for the club where he surrendered four runs in 1 2/3 innings of work before being designated for assignment.
Exciting move for the Mets! Confirmed: They've selected LHP Richard Lovelady's contract from Triple-A Syracuse, designating RHP Wander Suero for assignment. Lovelady has an 10.80 ERA over 8.1 IP in 8 appearances this year with the Blue Jays and Mets. Hope he strengthens the pen!
It has been a DFA revolving door for Richard Lovelady and the New York Mets this season
He cleared waivers and signed a minor league deal with the Twins, but after not getting called up to the big league roster he opted out of that deal to sign with the Mets on a major league deal.
He's been designated for assignment and selected back onto the roster several times throughout the year, and had allowed six runs in 8 2/3 innings across six appearances for New York entering today.
Lovelady enjoyed one of his best outings as a Met against the Nationals on Saturday, as he struck out two while recording 1 1/3 scoreless frames.

He'll remain in the Mets bullpen for the time being and be a left-handed option alongside Brooks Raley and Gregory Soto.
LHP Richard Lovelady is wearing number 58. Last worn by RHP Paul Blackburn earlier this season. #Mets
