Manny Acosta has signed a one-year, $1.65 million contract with the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Central League.
Acosta was non-tendered by the Mets last month and evidently didn't find any offers from major league clubs that were enticing. He posted a 6.46 ERA and 46/25 K/BB ratio over 47 1/3 innings this past season.

The Mets will not tender a contract to RHP Manny Acosta.
Acosta posted a 6.46 ERA and 46/25 K/BB ratio over 47 1/3 innings this past season, though he was much better after returning during the second half of the season. He might make for a nice value on the open market.

Tue Jul 24 201213:08Mets call up RHP Acosta from Triple-A
Mets purchased the contract of RHP Manny Acosta from Triple-A Buffalo.
Acosta was booted off the 40-man roster in late May, but he's back up with the big club after posting a 2.25 ERA and 25/4 K/BB ratio over 28 innings at the Triple-A level. The Mets have yet to announce a corresponding roster move, but outfielder Lucas Duda could be hours away from a demotion.

Tue Jul 24 201208:25Mets to call up RHP Acosta
The Mets plan to purchase the contract of right-hander Manny Acosta from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Tuesday's game.
Acosta was designated for assignment by the Mets in late May after posting a miserable 11.86 ERA and 23/15 K/BB ratio over 22 innings. However, he stuck around after clearing waivers and compiled a 2.25 ERA and 25/4 K/BB ratio over 28 innings during his time with the Bisons. He'll take the roster spot of Pedro Beato, who was optioned to the minors after Monday's game. Matt Harvey still needs to be added to the roster, so Lucas Duda may end up being demoted after all.

Thu May 31 201214:15Acosta clears waivers, heads to Triple-A
Mets sent RHP Manny Acosta outright to Triple-A Buffalo.
As expected, Acosta cleared waivers. The 31-year-old right-hander was a solid contributor for the Mets' bullpen from 2010-2011, but he has a miserable 11.86 ERA and 23/15 K/BB ratio over 22 innings this season. We'll probably see him again later this summer.

Mon May 28 201219:01Mets to designate Acosta for assignment
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, Manny Acosta will be designated for assignment to make room for Chris Schwinden on the active roster.
As expected. Acosta gave up three runs on four hits Monday against the Phillies and owns an ugly 11.86 ERA and 23/15 K/BB ratio over 22 innings this season. The move should be made official Tuesday.

Sat May 19 201211:58Acosta's roster spot could be in jeopardy
Mets manager Terry Collins suggested Manny Acosta's roster spot could be in jeopardy.
Acosta has a 10.53 ERA in 17 appearances this season, and the Mets plan to restore their bench to five position players before Monday's game in Pittsburgh. Jeremy Hefner, who was promoted for Jordany Valdespin on Saturday, could ultimately replace him on the active roster.

Tue Sep 20 201119:38Manny Acosta will close Tuesday
Mets manager Terry Collins said Manny Acosta would be used in a potential save situation Tuesday.
It seems as though Acosta is the Mets' primary closer for the time being, as he's already earned each of the last two save chances. Bobby Parnell could still possibly get some opportunities before the end of the year.

Thu Sep 15 201117:25Manny Acosta gets lit up in ninth
Mopping up in a 6-1 game, Manny Acosta gave up four runs in the ninth Thursday in the loss to the Nationals.
Three were earned. Acosta is a candidate for saves these next two weeks with Bobby Parnell struggling, but he's not pitching particularly well himself at the moment; this is the third time in five appearances that he's given up at least a run.

Wed Sep 7 201121:14Manny Acosta earns first save of season
Manny Acosta pitched a perfect ninth in a 1-0 game for a save Wednesday against the Mets.
Manager Terry Collins said Acosta would be the choice to close, and he got the job done, striking out two of the three hitters he faced. He might get another save chance or two this month, more if Bobby Parnell continues to struggle.

Mon Aug 15 201120:21Acosta (finger) still dealing with discomfort
Manny Acosta is still experiencing discomfort in his right pinkie finger.
Acosta had half the nail ripped off his pinkie finger when he was struck by a comebacker last Tuesday. He threw just eight out of 18 pitches for strikes during Sunday's loss to the Astros. "That's why I couldn't throw strikes," said Acosta. If the discomfort lingers, he will likely need to be placed on the disabled list.

Sat Aug 13 201102:55Manny Acosta returns to mound
Manny Acosta threw a scoreless 1/3 of an inning in his return to the mound Friday.
Acosta hadn't pitched since being hit on the right pinkie by a comebacker in Tuesday's game. He suffered no fracture and should be good to go moving forward.

Thu Aug 11 201110:47Acosta doesn't have fracture in pinkie finger
Manny Acosta said Thursday that an X-ray showed no fracture in his right pinkie finger.
Acosta was unavailable to pitch Wednesday after he had half the nail ripped off his pinkie finger when he was struck by a comebacker during Tuesday's game. However, now that a fracture has been ruled out, he should be able to return in the next couple of days.

Sat Jul 2 201109:48Manny Acosta could wind up on DL
Mets manager Terry Collins said Manny Acosta (wrist) might wind up on the disabled list.
Acosta was scheduled to see a doctor Friday, and although the results of that visit aren't known, the reliever said beforehand that he was fine to pitch. However, the Mets are unlikely to keep him on the roster if he needs even just a couple more days to recover. A decision on his status should be made Saturday.

Fri Jul 1 201116:10Acosta (wrist) to see doctor Friday
Manny Acosta (wrist) is scheduled to see a doctor Friday.
Acosta hyperextended his right wrist while making a defensive play during Thursday's game against the Tigers. It doesn't sound like a major concern, but the Mets would likely make a roster move if he is expected to miss a few days.

Thu Jun 30 201116:37Acosta pulled with hyperextended wrist
Manny Acosta was pulled from Thursday's game against the Tigers with a hyperextended wrist.
Acosta has struggled to the tune of a 9.72 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in 8 1/3 innings of relief this year. The Mets are calling him "day-to-day" for the time being.

Fri Jun 3 201113:22Mets call-up Manny Acosta
Mets purchased the contract of RHP Manny Acosta from Triple-A Buffalo.
Now 30, Acosta has yet to appear in the big leagues this season after posting a 2.95 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 42/18 K/BB ratio in 39 2/3 innings over 41 appearances for the Mets a season ago. He has also been pitching well for the Bisons this season, posting a 1.77 ERA and 12.0 K/9 rate, so it's a little surprising it took him this long to be recalled.

Thu Jun 2 201118:09Acosta expected to join Mets on Friday
Manny Acosta is expected to join the Mets' bullpen on Friday, taking Mike O'Connor's place.
O'Connor was demoted to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday evening. Acosta, 30, has posted a quality 1.77 ERA across 20 1/3 innings this season in the minors and should do well in middle relief for the big league Mets.
