PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The New York Mets have placed starter Jonathon Niese on the disabled list and called up catcher Mike Nickeas.

Niese (11-11) has been bothered by a ribcage injury. His start was pushed back a day until Tuesday night and he aggravated it further during a 9-4 loss in which he allowed eight runs in four-plus innings.

The move was made before Wednesday afternoon’s game at Philadelphia.

The Mets have not announced who will take Niese’s spot in the rotation.
