NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Mets All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring, the Major League Baseball club said on Thursday.

The four-time All-Star sustained the injury running to first base in the first inning of a 5-2 loss to the New York Yankees on July 2.

Reyes, who was voted the starting shortstop for the National League team in next week's All-Star Game, leads the major leagues with a .354 batting average and has three home runs and 32 RBI.
