The Mets have expanded their array of left-handed relief options.
Dicky Lovelady, who recently opted out from his minor league contract with the Twins, reached agreement Monday on a major league deal with the Mets, an industry source confirmed.
Lovelady, 29, appeared in two games for the Blue Jays this season after bouncing between the Cubs and Rays last year.
The Mets’ only lefty in the bullpen is Jose Castillo, who arrived in a trade last month after he was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks.
Brooks Raley began a minor league rehab assignment last week, but isn’t expected to be an option for the Mets until after the All-Star break.
Lefty relievers A.J. Minter and Danny Young began the season with the club, but both have since undergone surgeries that will keep them sidelined until next year.
