Mets designate Darin Ruf.

The New York Mets have designated veteran Darin Ruf for assignment and added speedy outfielder Tim Locastro to their roster for the upcoming season.

The Mets are set to carry Locastro instead of Ruf as their fifth outfielder, allowing them to start free-agent signing Tommy Pham every time the team plays a left-handed pitcher.
