ShareDENVER — Left-hander Oliver Perez was put on the 15-day disabled list Monday by the Mets, a move retroactive to June 27.
"He has some soreness in his lower back, but nothing wrong with his arm," manager Willie Randolph said.
Perez is 7–6 with a 3.14 ERA in 15 starts for the Mets, who recalled left-hander Jason Vargas from Triple-A New Orleans to take Perez's roster spot. Vargas is to start against the Colorado Rockies last night.
Vargas was 6–5 with a 4.35 ERA in 13 starts at New Orleans, where he struck out 56 and walked 23 in 72.1 innings.
