Williams had elected free agency earlier in the week after clearing waivers, but after exploring the open market he decided that his best option was to return to the Mets. He'll report back to Triple-A Syracuse.

Williams refused an outright assignment to Triple-A Syracuse after clearing waivers and will search for a new organization. The 29-year-old outfielder hit .212/.297/.333 with one homer across 17 games at the big-league level this season.

Williams cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. He'll remain with the Mets, serving as valuable organizational outfield depth moving forward. He's hitting .212/.297/.333 with one homer across 17 games at the big-league level this season.

Williams is removed from the roster to make room for Jerad Eickhoff. The outfielder struggled to a .212 average in 37 plate appearances, and it's very possible he goes unclaimed and heads back to Triple-A Syracuse in a few days.
