The New York Mets designated right-hander Cole Sulser for assignment in order to open a spot on the 40-man roster for catcher Logan Porter.

Sulser, 34, had a 9.64 ERA in four relief appearances for the Mets this season. He is 7-13 with a 4.06 ERA in 133 lifetime appearances for five different clubs.

Porter, 29, was signed to a minor league deal last week with the intention of adding him to the 40-man roster. Porter, who played 11 games with the Kansas City Royals last season, was assigned to Triple-A Syracuse.
