With the news that Mike Pelfrey is going to miss his next start due to 
shoulder tendinitis the Mets have called up journeyman starting pitcher Nelson Figueroa to take his place in the rotation. Figueroa is being promoted from AAA Buffalo and in order to make room for him the Mets had to place reliever Darren O’Day on waivers.
O’Day was a Rule V pick from Anaheim so he will have to be offered back to the Angels for $25,000 where the Mets will ultimately lose him back to his original team.
In his short tenure with the Mets O’Day appeared in 4 games giving up 2 unearned runs and striking out 2 in 3 innings of work.
