Mets' Wilmer Flores: Officially placed on DL Thursday

Flores (hamstring) was officially placed on the disabled list Thursday, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Flores injured his hamstring in Monday's game and hasn't been able to improve much since then. The Mets will be a little thin around the infield without their utility man around, but the bullpen will be bolstered with Sean Gilmartin being called up from Triple-A to take Flores' place on the roster.
