Shawn Green lands on DL with broken foot

as reported by KSN Reporter Ethan Kwassman

At the moment, the Mets are tied with the San Francisco Giants at 3 in the 11th inning. Let's see if they can pull this one through. The Mets have placed RF Shawn Green on the 15-day disabled list with a broken foot. He broke his foot after fouling off the baseball off his foot in a game last Friday in Florida. As a result, the 'Amazins have recalled OF Ben Johnson from Triple-A to take Green's spot on the roster.

However, Green is not expected to be out for long as he will return to the varsity (as Steve Somers likes to say) by June 10. By that time, the Mets will be in Motown, playing versus the defending AL Champion Detroit Tigers.
