On the Mets beat

The Mets just announced that Brady Clark has been DFA'ed to make room for catcher Gustavo Molina on the roster, but they hope to avoid the DL with Brian Schneider. The Mets catcher will be hospitalized overnight, likely with an IV antibiotic to kill the infection in his left thumb. That way a more invasive procedure can be avoided and Schneider will not require a DL stint.
