The New York Mets have announced starting pitcher Johan Santana has been reinstated from the disabled list and in order to create room on the roster for the southpaw, the team has designated left-handed pitcher Garrett Olson for assignment. The transaction starts a ten day clock for the team to trade, release or outright Olson to the minor leagues.

#Mets moves: The Mets activate LHP Johan Santana and designate LHP Garrett Olson for assignment.
The 28-year-old Olson appeared in just one game for the Mets, and allowed four runs to score before recording just one out. He will likely end up with the team's Class Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, given Olson has spent virtually the entire season down there, posting a 4.56 ERA across 108 2/3 innings of work.
On the other hand, the team regains the 33-year-old Santana to their rotation, who hasn't been quite the same since throwing the first no-hitter in franchise history.
