Clay was picked up by the Phillies from the Washinton Nationals on Tuesday and was waived on Friday without making an appearance for the club.

LHP Kent Emmanuel was reinstated from the 60-day IL and optioned to Lehigh Valley (AAA). To make room on the 40-man roster, LHP Sam Clay was designated for assignment.

In the six appearances Clay made with the Nationals, he pitched with an ERA of 10.38 and a FIP of 9.56.

The Mets pick up Clay as their bullpen is currently down two players with Trevor May and Sean Reid-Foley both out for the foreseeable future with injuries.
