The Phillies have claimed pitcher Nelson Figueroa off waivers from the Mets.

Figueroa pitched for Philadelphia in 2001, going 4-5 with a 3.94 ERA in 19 appearances.

The right-hander had a strong spring training for the Mets, despite one poor outing skewing his numbers and leading to a 4.61 Grapefruit League ERA.
