Mets send righty Armas Jr. on 15-day DL

NEW YORK -- The Mets placed right-hander Tony Armas on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained abdominal muscle.

Armas' last game was Monday at Philadelphia, when he allowed three runs and three hits in 1 1/3 innings of relief. He is 1-0 with a 7.56 ERA in three games, including one start, with the Mets this season.

New York recalled right-hander Carlos Muniz from Triple-A New Orleans to take Armas' roster spot. Muniz is 0-1 with a 6.17 ERA in nine appearances for the Mets this year.
