The Mets designated Almora for assignment Sunday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

Almora had been serving primarily as a defensive replacement lately. He's hit .115/.148/.173 with no RBI in 54 plate appearances this season, numbers that are unlikely to command a waiver claim in the next couple days. His 40-man roster spot was filled by Sean Reid-Foley, whom the Mets activated off the 60-day injured list.
