Mets OF Tim Tebow has been placed on the disabled list by the Binghamton Rumble Ponies due to right hand/wrist discomfort.

Tebow left Thursday's Rumble Ponies game in the seventh inning after a swing. He went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run before being removed.

The Heisman Trophy winner turned professional baseball player is scheduled to see a hand specialist in New York on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.

Tebow is hitting .273/.336/.399 with 6 HR and 36 RBI this season with Binghamton. On July 11, he served as the Eastern League's designated hitter in the Double-A All-Star Game.

Prior to that game, Tebow said he isn't thinking about a potential call-up to the Mets this season.

"I can't worry about any of that. I have to stay focused on the process and not the maybes, not the hypothetical, not the what-ifs," Tebow said. "I don't think that's a place that an athlete can live."
