Tigers signed LHP Pat Misch to a minor league contract.

Misch spent all of 2012 at Triple-A with the Phillies, posting a 4.98 ERA over 21 starts. He'll represent depth in the minors.

Phillies signed LHP Pat Misch to a minor league contract.

Misch surrendered 11 hits and eight earned runs in seven innings this past year for the Mets. He'll function as organizational depth in the Phils' system next season.

Pat Misch is now a free agent.

The 30-year-old Misch allowed 11 hits and eight earned runs in seven innings for the Mets this season, but left-handers are often given second, third and fourth chances. He should find a minor league contract.

Mets designated LHP Pat Misch for assignment.

It's the second time he's been designated for assignment this season. He's likely to clear waivers and be assigned to Triple-A. If R.A. Dickey needs a trip to the disabled list, Misch would be an option to come back and replace him.

Pat Misch has accepted a minor league assignment with Triple-A Buffalo.

Misch successfully cleared waivers after being designated for assignment on Sunday. The southpaw will likely be back with the big club at some point this season.

Mets designated LHP Pat Misch for assignment.

Misch was just called up Saturday and gave the Mets two innings during their doubleheader, but he's the first to go with a starter needed for Sunday. He'll likely clear waivers again and be assigned to Triple-A.

Mets will designate lefty Pat Misch for assignment before Sunday's game.

The Mets plan to call up Dillon Gee from Triple-A Buffalo to make Sunday's start and will DFA Misch to make room on the roster. Misch has cleared waivers once before, which is why the Mets feel he can make it through again. He should wind up back in the system.

Mets recalled LHP Pat Misch from Triple-A Buffalo.

He replaces Chris Young on the roster, but he won't necessarily replace him in the rotation Sunday, as there's a pretty good chance Misch will be needed in relief during Saturday's doubleheader. Dillon Gee remains a possibility to make Sunday's start if it doesn't go to Misch.

Pat Misch was scratched from Thursday's start with Triple-A Buffalo.

The Mets need a spot starter for Friday's series opener against the Braves, so Misch was scratched from the start just in case of emergency. D.J. Carrasco is currently lined up to start Friday, but he might be needed during Thursday's doubleheader.

Pat Misch as accepted his minor league assignment.

Misch could have opted for free agency, but he'll stick with the Mets instead and try to work his way back up to the major leagues. He posted a 4.82 ERA this spring.

Pat Misch struck out a career-high 10 batters over eight innings of one-run ball, but was handed a no-decision against the Nationals on Friday night.

Where did this come from? Misch entered Friday's game with 101 strikeouts in 185 big league innings, so we can chalk this up to an anomaly. The soft-tossing southpaw finishes the year with a 3.89 ERA over six starts and five relief appearances with the Mets. He's a useful arm to have in the organization in the event of an injury, but he shouldn't be starting meaningful games on the major league level.

Pat Misch will start against the Phillies on Sunday, giving Mike Pelfrey and Jon Niese an extra day of rest.

Now that the Mets are mathematically eliminated, they'll begin to rest some of their arms. Pelfrey currently has 189 2/3 innings under his belt while the rookie Niese has logged a career-high 165 1/3 innings. They are now slated to start the first two games of the series against the Brewers next week.

Pat Misch will take the place of the injured Jenrry Mejia in the starting rotation.

Oliver Perez and Raul Valdes were the other possibilities, although all three are pretty uninspiring. Misch is slated to start next Tuesday against the Brewers and in the season finale against the Nationals next Sunday. The southpaw is 0-4 with a 4.44 ERA in nine games (four starts) with the Mets this season.

The Mets will skip Pat Misch's next turn in the rotation.

New York has an off-day on Monday, so they'll go with, in order, R.A. Dickey, Mike Pelfrey and Jon Niese against Florida starting Tuesday and then Johan Santana, Misch and Dickey against the Astros starting Friday.

Mets purchased the contract of LHP Pat Misch from Triple-A Buffalo.

Misch will oppose Roy Halladay on Saturday night. The 28-year-old southpaw tallied a 4.12 ERA in seven starts and 15 relief appearances with the Mets in 2009, however he has spent all of this season with Triple-A Buffalo. Misch put up a mediocre 23/19 K/BB ratio 59 innings with the Mets last season, so there's not much here to get excited about.

Mets manager Jerry Manuel confirmed that Pat Misch would be called up to start Saturday.

Misch had a 4.12 ERA in seven starts and 15 relief appearances for the Mets last year, but he had been on the farm throughout the 2010 season. He'll take the place of Hisanori Takahashi tomorrow. NL-only leaguers desperate for wins could try him, but he has little upside.

Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com reports that left-hander Pat Misch was pulled after throwing five scoreless innings with Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday night.

The thought is that Misch could replace Hisanori Takahashi in the starting rotation on Saturday. The soft-tossing left-hander has a 3.22 ERA over 23 starts with Triple-A Buffalo this season. He posted a 4.12 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in seven starts and 15 relief appearances with the Mets last season, but he doesn't possess much fantasy value.
