Mets placed C Taylor Teagarden on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 22, with a strained left hamstring. Some speculated that Anthony Recker would be demoted with Travis d'Arnaud coming back from the minors, but he'll actually stick around. Teagarden is hitting .143 (4-for-28) with one home run and four RBI over nine games with the Mets this season.
