Mets' Donnie Hart: Called up from minors
Rotowire
Hart had his contract selected from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.
The lefty was DFA'd by the Mets just two weeks ago, but he's back on the roster and will provide depth to the bullpen over the final two-plus weeks. Things got fairly ugly for Hart during his time with the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate this year (4.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP), but he's a groundball pitcher, and that gives him some appeal in this environment.

Brewers' Donnie Hart: Designated for assigment
Rotowire
Hart was designated for assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The Brewers had a flurry of moves at the deadline, and removing Hart from the 40-man roster helped clear some roster space. He hasn't been terrible this year (4.10 ERA at Triple-A), but the Brewers clearly didn't think he was a necessary part of the bullpen equation going forward.

Rotowire
The Brewers optioned Hart to Triple-A San Antonio on Thursday.
As one of the few members of the Milwaukee bullpen with minor-league options remaining, Hart will head to Triple-A as the Brewers exchange him for a fresher relief arm (Taylor Williams) ahead of Thursday's series finale with the Rockies. Hart was one of six pitchers used in the Brewers' bullpen game Wednesday and was by far the most effective, blanking Colorado over three innings while allowing only two baserunners.

Dodgers' Donnie Hart: Claimed by Dodgers
Rotowire
Hart was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
He was designated for assignment by the Orioles late last week, and apparently the Dodgers saw something they liked. His fastball velocity and spin rate both ranked near the bottom of the league last year, but he is a lefty who generates groundballs, so perhaps he will be able to carve out a small role. Josh Fields was designated for assignment as a corresponding move.
