Mets placed LHP Johan Santana on the 15-day disabled list with bone spurs in his left elbow.
The latest blow for the Metropolitans, Santana will miss the rest of the season with arthroscopic surgery. The southpaw started the season strong, but was merely pedestrian over his last 15 starts, putting up a 4.02 ERA. The Mets seemed to have dodged a bullet, as their $137.5 million ace should be ready for the start of the 2010 season. He finishes the year with a 13-9 record and 3.13 ERA in 25 starts.
