Mets' Jimmy Yacabonis: Placed on 15-day IL

The Mets placed Yacabonis on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left quadricep strain.

Yacabonis surrendered five earned runs while recording only one out in his last appearance with the Mets on Sunday versus the Rockies as his season ERA ballooned from 4.15 to 9.00. He'll be out for at least a couple of weeks.
