Mets' Dennis Santana: Contract selected from Syracuse

The Mets selected the contract of Santana from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Santana has a good chance to pitch at some point in Sunday's twin bill against the Nationals. The Mets designated Seth Elledge for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster for Santana while Joey Lucchesi was optioned to Syracuse in a corresponding transaction.
