Tovar appeared in 12 games for the Mets back in May and spent the remainder of the year at Triple-A Syracuse. The 30-year-old middle infielder should be able to land a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training this offseason.

Tovar went 2-for-11 with four strikeouts in a stay with the Mets before being designated for assignment on Tuesday. He will either report to Triple-A, or elect free agency.
