Mets Jose Reyes Jersey period
Senin, Juli 25th, 2011NEW YORK — After missing three games with the flu, Carlos Beltran was back in the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals at Citi Field. He doubled with two outs in his first at-bat.The All-Star right fielder said he lost five pounds while sick, but that he feels much better and is ready to play.”I hit early [batting practice], and I feel pretty good,” Beltran said. “I felt the ball was coming off Cubs Ryne Sandberg Jersey the bat good. Let’s see what happens during the game.”I still feel congested, but that’s something that’s going to come out.”In Beltran’s absence, his replacements in the three-hole went 5-for-13 with a walk, three doubles, five RBIs, a home run and four runs.Manager Terry Collins was excited to have Beltran, along with teammate Jose Reyes, back in the lineup.”It’s a huge plus for us today, it’s a boost of energy, obviously,” Collins said. “I watched Carlos take BP, he looks great. It’d be a lift to the entire ballclub.”On Sunday, Beltran was given two bags of Cody Ross Jersey IV in order to restore lost fluids. Monday, he hit before the game and was available as a pinch-hitter. “I guess it’s good for me,” Beltran said of the five pounds he lost while sick. “It’s good for the knee.” Reyes’ presence felt by Mets after activation NEW YORK — Jose Reyes’ return from the disabled list became conspicuous Tuesday from the moment the shortstop arrived at Citi Field, more than five hours before game time. Reyes bounced around the clubhouse on his healed left hamstring, humming to himself. He fiddled with his cell phone. His name sat atop the lineup card.He was eager to play — even a bit nervous — and so was his manager.”There will be some times when I’m holding my breath,” Terry Collins said.The hope, for Collins and the Mets, is that Reyes will instantly reassume his mantle as a National League MVP candidate, padding Authentic Jose Reyes Jersey his league-leading batting average and triples totals. The team activated Reyes from the disabled list prior to Tuesday’s game, placing catcher Josh Thole on the paternity list to clear roster space. The Mets had originally intended to option middle infielder Ruben Tejada to Jose Reyes Jersey Triple-A Buffalo prior to the game, but travel delays forced them to abandon those plans.For Collins, such details hardly mattered. He was simply eager to have his shortstop back.”The last seven, eight days I haven’t felt anything in my hamstring,” said Reyes, who missed 12 games with a Grade 1 strain. “So that’s a real good sign.”Though Collins initially planned to keep a close eye on Reyes, especially given Nelson Cruz Jersey the hot and humid weather this week in New York and Miami, it’s a fair bet that Reyes will play Authentic Chase Utley Jersey nearly every inning of every game for the immediate future.Which, of course, is just fine with him.”You have to be nervous, of course,” Reyes said. “It’s just Rangers Nelson Cruz Jersey a matter of getting my confidence back. The more that I get on base, the more running around I’ll do during the game. It’s going to be better for me. I’ll get my confidence soon.” Travel quirk keeps Authentic Brian Wilson Jersey Tejada on Mets’ roster Giants Cody Ross Jersey NEW YORK — Among the most difficult conversations Mets manager Terry Collins has had this season occurred Tuesday afternoon, when he Alex Rodriguez Jersey told infielder Ruben Tejada that the Mets needed to option him back to Triple-A Buffalo in order to clear roster space for Jose Reyes.But not long after Tejada began the process of packing his bags, the Mets Authentic Alex Rodriguez Jersey told him instead to stay put. Authentic Ryne Sandberg Jersey Travel delays prevented catcher Mike Nickeas from joining the club as a replacement for Josh Thole, who left the team earlier Tuesday for the birth of his first child. Authentic Derek Jeter Jersey So without Nickeas, the Mets played short-handed at catcher and kept Tejada active for one more game.Thole is eligible to remain on the paternity list for one to three games, Yankees Derek Jeter Jersey though Nickeas should Derek Jeter Jersey be able to join the team if he misses more than one.For Tejada, then, Tuesday’s travel issues merely Phillies Chase Utley Jersey delayed the inevitable. Phillies Cliff Lee Jersey Rather than keep Tejada on the roster as a bench player, the Mets want him to continue to receive regular at-bats in Buffalo, knowing he could potentially become their starting shortstop as soon as next season.”He’s got some things he needs to work on, which I told him about,” Collins said. “I said, ‘Don’t be at all surprised if the next time you Cubs Carlos Pena Jersey come back will be your last chance you’ll see the Minor Leagues.’ Because he’s really close to being an everyday very good Major League player.” Ike’s fate will clear up after next three weeks NEW YORK — After a report surfaced Tuesday morning that Mets first baseman Ike Davis didn’t think he would play again this season, Davis told reporters Tuesday afternoon that he was still working to rejoin his teammates before the season ends.Davis had been speaking to a group of children at Coleman Country Day Camp in Merrick, N.Y., on Long Island when he told the campers his left ankle Authentic Nelson Cruz Jersey was “not good” and that “the majority odds are Chase Utley Jersey that I probably wouldn’t play this year,” according to a report published by ESPN New York. “I didn’t throw in the towel,” Davis said. “I’m just saying that in three weeks, if I’m Authentic Cody Ross Jersey not healthy, I’m not going to play the rest of the year.”Davis has been out since May 10 with damaged cartilage and Carlos Pena Jersey a bone bruise in his left ankle. On July 14, he received a cortisone shot and said that if his ankle were not much better in three weeks, he would have season-ending surgery.Davis said his ankle felt good Tuesday, but that he is being cautious with it since there have been times when he’s felt good, only to have his ankle hurt again when he’s tried to run on it.”It doesn’t hurt normally,” Davis said. “If I didn’t have to ever run again, I’d probably be fine. But I have to run.”Even if Davis is good to continue his rehab at the end of the three-week resting Mets Jose Reyes Jersey period, it is unlikely he would play more than the final few weeks of the regular season. Since he’s been out so long, Davis would need at least a month of practice and baseball activities before he could return to Major League action.”I’m not going to tell you I’m going to play this season because I told you I was going to play, like, 16 times this year and it hasn’t happened,” Davis said. “In three weeks, Authentic Carlos Pena Jersey we’ll see. It’s either ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’” Worth noting • Third baseman David Wright (stress fracture, lower back) finished 2-for-4 with a walk and a double Tuesday evening for Class A St. Lucie. Wright, who is due back this weekend, is batting .421 in five rehab games.• Outfielder Scott Hairston, who fouled a ball off his left shin on Monday, felt better Tuesday Ryne Sandberg Jersey and could “probably” pinch-hit, according to manager Terry Collins. • Infielder Daniel Murphy entered Tuesday’s play tied with Adrian Gonzalez of the Red Sox for the most hits (71) in the Majors since May 21.
