Mets pitcher Hernandez placed on disabled list

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez was scratched from Monday night's start against Florida and placed on the disabled list with bursitis in his right shoulder.

Hernandez was replaced by Chan Ho Park, who was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans.

El Duque, 2-1 with a 2.53 ERA in five starts, told the Mets on Sunday in Washington that he felt pain in the shoulder and was sent to New York to see a doctor.

Park was 3-1 with a 7.29 ERA in four starts with the Zephyrs, allowing 26 hits in 21 innings _ including six homers.
