The Mets have placed Jason Vargas on the 10-day injured list after the lefty exited his Sunday afternoon start with a hamstring injury. They also activated Justin Wilson from the IL, called up Corey Oswalt from Syracuse, and optioned Tim Peterson to Syracuse. Steven Matz, who got an injection in his elbow for his nerve issue, has not yet been placed on the IL, per Anthony DiComo.
Vargas, who the Mets were comfortable with as their fifth starter all winter and to begin the season, has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball so far this year.
