News: John Maine to the DL

by Matthew Cerrone on August 25th, 2008 at 3:59 pm

John Maine has been put on the Disabled List due to a bone spur in his right shoulder.

He will be replaced on the roster by Luis Castillo, who has been activated from the 15–day disabled list.

…so, i guess this means Argenis Reyes will remain with the team, meaning the Mets now have a three-way platoon at second base

additionally, the buzz from Shea Stadium still suggests that Mike Pelfrey will be skipped in his next start, but i have to imagine that will change…it would seem it makes more sense, at this point, to pitch Brian Stokes for maine, and keep pelfrey on turn…then, after September 1, when players from the 40–man Roster can be promoted, the team can deal with how best to fill in the rotation with more bodies in the mix
