Mets sign Justin Ruggiano, send Reyes to DL

The Mets have placed 3B Jose Reyes on the 15-day disabled list and have signed and activated OF Justin Ruggiano, the team announced Saturday.

Reyes was diagnosed with a Grade 1 intercostal strain after injuring himself on in the first game of a doubleheader on July 26. He has not been in the lineup since that game.

Ruggiano, who had been playing with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate, hit .226 with a .321 OBP and .427 SLG to go along with seven home runs and 23 RBIs. He had been released by the Rangers earlier in the week.
