Beato Injured

The Mets have placed RHP Pedro Beato on the 15-day disabled with tendinitis in his right elbow.  This comes as a blow to the Mets, as the Rule V Draft pick has probably been their best reliever thus far.  To replace him on the roster, the Mets have purchased the contract of LHP Michael O'Connor from Buffalo.
