12:46 PM - Health: Sosa on the DL
...posted by Matthew Cerrone...
As expected, the Mets put Jorge Sosa on the disabled list with a strained hamstring, to make room for Mike Pelfrey, who will start today in place of Oliver Perez, who has a sore back.
…as i wrote this morning, no worries…all in all, sosa will essentially miss one or two starts, thanks to the all-star break…odds are, he’ll be back in the rotation by mid-july, since the buzz from philly suggests the hamstring injury is not all that bad to begin with…

If Cerrone is right, this'll give Pelfrey a chance to show his stuff for a while, without us having to count on him for too long. And it can help Omar make a decision on the need to trade for pitching.
