ATLANTA (AP) — The New York Mets placed reliever Devin Williams on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain Monday.

Mets interim manager Andy Green said he does not believe it will be a long-term stint on the IL for Williams (3-2, 4.66 ERA), who is in his first season with the Mets. The move is retroactive to Aug. 8.

“He's been dealing with a little bit of shoulder fatigue for a little while now,” Green said. “(It was) something he was confident he could work through.”

Williams, who was an All-Star with Milwaukee in 2022 and 2023, has 16 saves and three blown saves. He last worked Friday against the Pirates, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk in one inning.

RHP Jonathan Pintaro was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to take Williams' spot.

The Mets, who have won five of six, are opening a three-game series against the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves.
