Mets’ Young placed on 15-day DL

Chris Young was placed on the 15-Day Disabled List today, retroactive to May 2, with tightness in the back of his right shoulder and called up Pat Misch to take his spot on the roster.

This is Young’s second stint on the DL this season. He was scratched right before Saturday’s start when he couldn’t get loose in the bullpen. He was sidelined previously with biceps tendinitis.

To make room for Misch on the 40-man roster, Johan Santana was moved from the 15-Day DL to the 60-Day DL.
