    The New York Mets placed shortstop Jose Reyes and first baseman Daniel Murphy on the disabled list Monday, a day after both left Sunday's series finale against the Atlanta Braves with injuries.Murphy suffered a Grade 2 strain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and will miss the remainder of the season. Reyes suffered a left hamstring strain, the same injury that landed him on the DL in June."I think this one is not that bad. I think it's a little bit better," Reyes said, comparing the two injuries. "I'm going to do my treatment and hopefully I'll be on the field as soon as possible.""They're very aware of the situation," first-year manager Terry Collins said. "We aren't going to feel sorry for ourselves because we've got two big pieces of our puzzle out of the lineup. And yes, it's rhetoric sometimes, but I know they know I believe it. But they're going to hear it again."
