Warren, 30, was claimed off waivers before last year and appeared in five games with the Mets last season, allowing one run on five hits over 9.1 innings with nine strikeouts and four walks. He is on the 40-man roster.
Herget, 34, made six appearances with the Mets last season, allowing five runs (four earned) in 12 innings. He re-signed on a minor-league deal in December.
Stock, 36, pitched in 19 games (15 starts) last year for Triple-A Worcester ( Boston Red Sox organization) and carried a 3.92 ERA for his 85 innings of work. Like Herget, he is in his second stint with the Mets and signed a minor league deal late last year.
With those moves, the Mets are down to 39 players at big league camp.
