The Mets released Nittoli on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Nittoli exercised an opt-out clause in his minor-league contract, presumably after being told he would not receive a promotion. The righty did not pitch well in his brief time at Triple-A Syracuse, allowing five runs (four earned) over 3.2 innings. However, Nittoli has mostly been very good both in the majors (1.50 ERA in nine appearances) and minors (3.60 ERA, 43:12 K:BB in 30 innings) this season, so he should be able to latch on elsewhere.
