The New York Mets found a fill-in for injured pitcher Steve Trachsel.

Bernie Williams and Raul Mondesi hope to be back on the field in a few days.

With Trachsel sidelined for at least three to six months following back surgery, the Mets traded reserve catcher Jason Phillips to the Los Angeles Dodgers for left-hander Kazuhisa Ishii on Sunday.

Ishii will step into the No. 5 spot in the rotation behind Pedro Martinez, Tom Glavine, Kris Benson and Victor Zambrano.

“We were able to get a guy who has won. And I like having two lefties in the rotation. It gives us good balance,” Mets general manager Omar Minaya said in Port St. Lucie, Fla. “He just finds a way to win.”

Ishii went 13-8 with a 4.71 earned-run average in 31 starts last season for Los Angeles.

At Kissimmee, Fla., Mondesi injured his hamstring while running out a double during the Atlanta Braves’ 2-1 loss to a St. Louis Cardinals split squad. The right fielder is expected to miss at least a few games.

At St. Petersburg, Fla., the New York Yankees played without Williams and Derek Jeter, losing 5-3 to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Williams strained his upper back during batting practice. He is expected to miss a few games.

Jeter bruised his left foot on a foul ball Saturday. He was sore Sunday; X-rays were negative.

At Winter Haven, Fla., Philadelphia outfielder Marlon Byrd Byrd dislocated his right ring finger while diving back to first on a pickoff attempt. Catcher Mike Lieberthal was hit on the left elbow by a pitch in the first inning and was replaced in the fifth after he experienced some swelling.
