Cesar Puello has cleared waivers and is now again property of the Mets.

He will be outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas to begin the season.

April 1

Major League sources tell Adam Rubin of ESPN New York that the New York Mets have placed outfield prospect Cesar Puello on waivers.

Not a surprise as this has been widely expected. Puello was out of options and was not going to make the opening day roster.

If Puello does not clear waivers, he’ll go to the claiming team. If nobody claims him, Puello returns to the Mets. It’s that simple.

Puello, 24, hit .252 with seven homers and 37 RBIs in 318 at-bats for Triple-A Las Vegas in 2014.
