Mets pitching prospect Zack Wheeler was placed on the seven-day minor-league disabled list with soreness around his right clavicle.

The move was backdated to Wheeler's last start, which still makes him eligible to make his next start with Triple-A Las Vegas Wednesday. He was cleared of any structural damage during a visit with team doctors in New York and has resumed throwing, after receiving a cortisone injection Wednesday.

Wheeler is 2-1 with a 3.74 ERA in eight starts at Triple-A.
