Tim Tebow will have to wait a little longer to make his major league debut.

As the New York Mets inch closer to naming their Opening Day 25-man roster, the team announced a round of cuts Tuesday, Tebow included. Tebow, entering his fourth season in professional baseball, is slated to begin the year with the Syracuse Mets, the club’s Triple-A affiliate.

In 84 games for Double-A Binghamton last year, Tebow boasted a respectable .273 batting average along with six home runs and 36 RBI. His solid play, coupled with the organization’s struggles at the major league level, led some to wonder if Tebow could become a September callup, but it never came to fruition.

Tebow returned to spring training this year and notched four hits in 15 at-bats in Grapefruit League play before Tuesday’s demotion.
