The New York Mets claimed veteran reliever Brad Hand off waivers on Thursday, multiple outlets reported.
The 31-year-old left-hander was designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.
Hand began the season with the Washington Nationals, who traded the three-time All-Star closer to Toronto on July 29 in exchange for catcher Riley Adams.
Hand is 5-7 with 21 saves and a 4.21 ERA in 52 games this season with the Nats and Jays.
He is 31-50 lifetime with 126 saves and a 3.70 ERA in 448 games (43 starts) since 2011, earning All-Star nods in 2017 and 2018 with the San Diego Padres and 2019 with the Cleveland Indians.
