Gary Sheffield has been placed on the DL a day after he said he could have been in the lineup. He was put on the 15 day-DL so the Mets could bring up the starter for tonight's game, Jon Niese. Niese has been pitching extremely well lately, so hopefully he can get the Mets back in the win column. He has gone 5-3 with a 2.23 era in his last 10 starts including 4 starts where he has pitched 7 or more innings and not allowed a run
Sheffield is apparently not overly pleased with being placed on DL because he thinks he his healthy enough to play. The good news is that the move is retroactive to July 17Th so he won't be out much longer.
The Mets active Home run leader is now Jeff Francoeur who has 6.
