The New York Mets announced Saturday they have claimed infielder Gosuke Katoh off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays and optioned him to their Triple-A affiliate Syracuse. A 10th-year pro, the 27-year-old Katoh signed a minor league deal with Toronto over the offseason. The left-handed hitter made his MLB debut on April 9 and went 1-for-7 with a double and three walks over eight games with Toronto. The Blue Jays designated Katoh for assignment on Wednesday in order to open up a spot on their 40-man roster.
