The Mets continue adding onto their pitching depth early this offseason. 

The team announced on Tuesday that they are bringing back LHP Brandon Waddell on a one-year major league deal.

Waddell returns to Queens after making 11 appearances with the team last season. 

The 31-year-old southpaw spent the majority of the year down in Syracuse after signing on a minor league deal, but he was called upon to make spot starts and provide innings out of the bullpen down the stretch. 

He pitched to a 3.45 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 22 strikeouts across 31.1 innings at the big-league level. 

Waddell will now compete for a spot as a bulk-arm in what figures to be a revamped Mets bullpen this spring training. 

He does not have any minor league options remaining, so he would have to pass through waivers in order to be sent down to the minors if he doesn’t make the Opening Day roster.
