Cabrera (thumb) was placed on the 10-day DL on Tuesday.

Rather than continue to play the waiting game with Cabrera taking up an active roster spot, the Mets will add some relief pitching help (Neil Ramirez) and go with Jose Reyes at shortstop while Cabrera's sprained left thumb heals. The move is retroactive to May 14. Amed Rosario was not considered for a promotion because the team does not view him as a short-term option, Matt Ehalt of NorthJersey.com reports.
