MIAMI The New York Mets made a last-minute change to their rotation Tuesday, placing scheduled starter David Peterson on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder fatigue and recalling Corey Oswalt to take his place.
Mets manager Luis Rojas said Peterson woke up and felt a little weird with his shoulder and that the team wanted to be careful with him. Rojas didnt know if Peterson would undergo an MRI.
New York called up Oswalt, a right-hander, from its alternate training site to start against the Miami Marlins less than three hours before the scheduled first pitch.
Peterson is 3-1 with a 2.91 ERA and 17 strikeouts and eight walks in 21 2/3 innings over four starts. In his last start, against the Nationals on Thursday, he gave up no earned runs in five innings while striking out three and walking two.
The Mets also recalled right-handed pitcher Drew Smith from their alternate training site and optioned righty Franklyn Kilome.
They already are without Noah Syndergaard (Tommy John surgery) and Marcus Stroman (opted out of the season).
