BASEBALL: DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJOR LEAGUES : Mets Put Coleman on Disabled List

The New York Mets put left fielder Vince Coleman on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 10. Coleman suffered a strained left hamstring during a game at St. Louis on April 9. Last season, Coleman was limited to 70 starts because of a strained left hamstring suffered on June 14.

The Mets filled Coleman’s spot on the roster with Schofield, acquired Sunday from the Angels. . . . Dale Sveum, infielder for the Philadelphia Phillies, has a torn right rotator cuff but probably will not need surgery.

Bo Jackson, who had hip replacement surgery on April 4, was on crutches at the Chicago White Sox home opener against the Seattle Mariners.

“I’m feeling great,” he said. “I take pride in that I’m a fast healer.”

Jackson said he will continue rehabilitation therapy to strengthen the muscles “and learn to operate with a foreign object in my body.”

“I didn’t have surgery to get back to baseball,” he said. “I had it for three reasons. First to get rid of the pain and discomfort. Second, to have a normal family life. And third, to go deer hunting in four or five months. Baseball is at the bottom of the barrel. That’s the way I’m looking at my future.”
