The Mets were considering skipping Johan Santana or at least pushing him back for a few days after he was knocked around for six runs over three innings last night against the Dodgers, but Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports that they have decided to place him on the disabled list with a right ankle injury.
Santana twisted his ankle while covering first base in his final start before the All-Star break back on July 6 against the Cubs. He had his foot stepped on by Reed Johnson in the process. According to Kevin Burkhardt of SNY, Santana admitted he was throwing some pitches ?all arm? because he wasn?t able to land on the ankle. The injury evidently doesn?t correlate to his workload from the no-hitter, but it?s still a dangerous combination for someone who is in their first season back from shoulder surgery. While the DL-stint comes at a tough time for the fading Mets, he?ll now get a couple weeks off to rest both the ankle and his arm.
Santana has allowed 19 runs over his last three starts, increasing his ERA from 2.76 to 3.98 on the year. Jeremy Hefner was called up from Triple-A Buffalo today and is a candidate to take his place in the starting rotation. Top prospect Matt Harvey, who was passed over in favor of Miguel Batista to start today against the Dodgers, is also a possibility.
