Niese (knee) is likely headed for the disabled list, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports.

EDGE Analysis

He left Tuesday's start due to left knee pain after allowing three runs and recording just one out against the Cardinals. It is unclear what the exact injury is, but that should become clear when the move to the DL becomes official. Robert Gsellman, who tossed 3.2 shutout innings in relief of Niese, could be an option to slot into the rotation for the Mets in the short term.
