Leiter Placed on the DL
Prior to today's game Al Leiter was placed on the 15 day disabled list with shoulder tendinitis. Outfielder Esix Snead was recalled from Norfolk to take Leiter's spot on the roster. Snead gives the Mets an outfielder with speed in case Mike Cameron's pinkie gives him more trouble than he can play with. Cameron is back in the starting lineup today but will probably be taken out in favor of Snead depending on game situations.
