Mets INF T.J. Rivera has been placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a partially torn UCL in his right elbow, the Mets announced Friday.
Rivera has received a platelet-rich plasma injection for the injury.
The Mets activated INF Neil Walker from the disabled list to replace Rivera on the roster.
Rivera, 28, is hitting .290 with a .330 OBP and .430 SLG with five HR and 27 RBI in 73 games this season.
A torn UCL can lead to Tommy John surgery, though recovery time for position players can be as little as six months.
