Newsday's David Lennon reports that Carlos Beltran is not in the Mets lineup on Saturday.
It's supposedly just a precaution, though he was a late scratch. Since coming off of the disabled list early last month, Beltran has hit .286 in 18 games.
The New York Post is reporting that Mets' outfielder Carlos Beltran wants to finish his career with the team. Beltran believes he can play at least six more seasons, and he wants to play them out in New York with the Mets.
Beltran is looking for a contract extension, as his current deal expires after the 2011 season. He has shown plenty of heart this year, coming back from a serious knee injury to contribute to the team, so expect his agent, Scott Boras, to be in talks with the team after the season is out.
Carlos Beltran went 2-for-4 on Wednesday, but couldn't drive in any runs, as the Mets lost 5-2 to Atlanta at home.
In 12 games since coming off the disabled list earlier this month, Beltran is batting .325 with a home run and five RBI - very encouraging news for a team who thought his career might be in jeopardy earlier this season.
Carlos Beltran went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday, helping pace the Mets to a 6-2 win over the Nats.
Beltran now has five RBI in nine games since returning from the disabled list. With a .337 average in 71 games this season, he's still a good option for 2010.
Carlos Beltran was productive in tonight's 6-5 loss to Washington at Citi Field, as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI. Both of his knocks were singles.
Beltran has two hits in each of his last two games, and is hitting .321 over 28 at-bats this month. He snapped a four-game skid without an RBI tonight as well.
Carlos Beltran will return to the Mets' lineup on Saturday. Beltran is hitting fourth and playing center field for the team's game against the Phillies.
Beltran has missed two straight games, but he is ready to go today. He was out last night because of the wet conditions, so consider him healthy and good to go today.
Carlos Beltran is not in the Mets lineup versus the Phillies on Friday, according to Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post.
Beltran was supposed to play all three days this weekend (though not both doubleheader games on Sunday), but it has been raining much of the day in Philadelphia and the team likely doesn't want to risk him re-injuring his tender knee on a wet field. Weather cooperating, he will start on Saturday.
Carlos Beltran will likely play in three of the Mets' four games this weekend, according to the New York Post.
He's going to receive regular days of for the rest of the season as he returns from his knee injury, but the team is going to see if he can play three of four games against the Phillies this weekend. Ideally, he would have sat out Sunday, but with the team playing a doubleheader, they want to try and stretch him out. Since returning on Tuesday he is 2-for-8.
Carlos Beltran will not be in the Mets' lineup for their game Thursday against the Marlins, according to MLB.com. Manager Jerry Manuel wants to get Beltran a rest at least once a series.
Manuel said that this is almost like Spring Training for Beltran, and he doesn't want to push the outfielder too fast. Beltran should play the rest of the way, but be prepared for him to sit a few times a week if you are using him in your outfield.
In his second game back in the lineup since being on the disabled list since June 21, Carlos Beltran went 1-for-4 with a run scored on Wednesday.
He is now 2-for-8 since being activated. Don't expect big things down the stretch.
Carlos Beltran is set to rejoin the Mets on Tuesday after finishing his rehab assignment, according to the New York Daily News. Beltran has been on the DL since June 21 with a bone bruise on his right knee.
It is too little, too late for the Mets at this point, but it has to be nice just to have a guy like Beltran back and playing. He made it through his rehab assignment just fine, and if you need some outfield help it might be worth giving him a chance.
If Carlos Beltran (knee) can get through two full games for Single-A Brooklyn this weekend, he will be activated from the disabled list and join the Mets this Tuesday, according to the New York Daily News.
The Mets playoff hopes are alive after all! All kidding aside, it would be nice for the team to know if Beltran is 100 percent healthy heading into 2010.
According to Metsblog.com, Carlos Beltran went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in his first rehab game for the Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones.
This bodes well for Beltran and his comeback hopes. He insists he'll return this season and wants to play for "peace of mind" since the Mets are clearly out of the race. He is slated to start in the field in tomorrow's game and play five innings.
Carlos Beltran wants to play again this season for "peace of mind," according to the Newark Star-Ledger.
Beltran is beginning a rehab assignment Wednesday night at Single-A Brooklyn and will rejoin the Amazins next week barring a setback. With the mysterious and lingering nature of his knee injury, and the fact that the Mets are sitting 18.5 games out of first place, it truly does make little sense for him to come back in 2009. Team doctors have said that Beltran will not be risking further injury by returning, however, and this looks like a way for the team to begin the healing process from its disastrous season a little early.
Updating an earlier report, Carlos Beltran (bone bruise) has been given the green light to begin a minor league rehab assignment, according to the Associated Press.
Team medical director Dr. David Altchek cleared him to shed his knee brace, and Beltran will play with Single-A Brooklyn Wednesday. The elite outfielder could return to the Mets in 7-10 days, barring a setback.
Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman is reporting on his Twitter page that Mets' outfielder Carlos Beltran could return in 7-to-10 days. Beltran has been on the DL since June 22 with a bone bruise on his right knee.
Beltran returning to the Mets' lineup isn't nearly enough to get them back in the race, but it would be some good news in a season that was filled with disappointment. If Beltran is close to fully healthy when he comes back, he could be an excellent addition to a fantasy team for the playoffs. It is unclear how he will respond when he does get back on the field, however, and it would be smart to limit your expectations of him.
According to the New York Daily News, Mets' outfielder Carlos Beltran said his knee has been pain-free for about two weeks, but he has not been cleared to run the bases. Beltran insisted that he plans to return to the lineup before this season is over.
Unfortunately for Beltran, running the bases is a prerequisite for beginning a rehab assignment, so his comeback won't be able to advance until he gets that clearance. He wants to play again this year, but with the Mets spiraling toward the bottom of the division, they surely won't rush to get him back out there. If he does contribute again this season, it likely won't be for another several weeks.
Carlos Beltran ran in the outfield and took batting practice wth his Mets' teammates on Wednesday, according to the New York Daily News.
Beltran is closing in on a rehab assignment, and he has made some major strides in his recovery over the last week or so. It looks like he should return in late August or early September, so those of you who have been stashing him should be ready to activate him in the next few weeks.
Carlos Beltran deemed himself fit to take the next step in his recovery from his knee injury, according to the Associated Press. He said, "Today was very good day for me. I did not feel anything in everything I did."
The elite outfielder is hopeful of running in a straight line early next week, then advance to running the bases before going on a short minor league rehab assignment. Beltran is uncertain exactly when he may return to the Mets, but it could be before the end of August.
The New York Post reports that Mets manager Jerry Manuel is "very optimistic" Carlos Beltran (knee) will return to the field in 2009.
Ohh. He still plays? Obviously a joke, but the silence on Beltran in recent weeks has been deafening. He's been dealing with a lingering bone bruise on his rigth knee, but will go through a series of tests on Saturday. If they go well, he could be back very shortly.
Carlos Beltran fielded 30-35 fly balls Monday at Citi Field, according to MLB.com.
He experienced pain in his bruised right knee, and admitted that his knee needs to improve before he would feel comfortable roaming the outfield. The elite center fielder is feeling better though, and remains hopeful of returning to action in around two weeks.
Carlos Beltran took batting practice Saturday and did not experience any discomfort, according to the Star Ledger. He has been on the DL since June 22 with a right knee injury.
Skipper Jerry Manuel is optimistic that Beltran could be around two weeks from returning to New York. The elite outfielder shall remain stashed on fantasy rosters.
Carlos Beltran could miss most, if not all, of the 2010 campaign if he opts for microfracture surgery on his ailing right knee, according to Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus.
The surgery is the worst-case scenario, and the elite outfielder is still hoping to return to the Mets at some point in mid-August. He is boosting the pace of his rehab, and shall remain stashed on fantasy rosters.
Carlos Beltran will have his ailing right knee re-examined within the next few days, according to MetsBlog.com.
Surgery remains an option for the star outfielder. He may not return to New York until August.
Carlos Beltran's bone bruise on his right knee has not yet shrunk enough for him to resume full baseball activity yet, according to Newsday.
Beltran is apparently a very slow healer. An MVP candidate before he went down, it is still unclear just when the Mets slugger will be back. The best guess appears to be before the end of the season. Keep him stashed, and hope for a breakthrough. Stay tuned.
According to the Twitter page of Mets' writer David Lennon, New York outfielder Carlos Beltran has not resumed baseball activity yet. He will be reevaluated at the All-Star break, but he is expected to be out until at least late July.
It doesn't sound like Beltran is improving much, which is terrible news for the injury-plagued Mets. Beltran owners should keep him on the DL, but don't be shocked if we get into August and he still isn't playing.
No timetable has been set for Carlos Beltran to begin a rehab assignment, according to MetsBlog.com.
Be ready for a long haul with this one. The Mets haven't appeared to handle injuries very well this season, and the always creaky Beltran probably isn't too quick of a healer at age 32. He likely won't be out too terribly long, just longer than you think.
Updating a previous report, the New York Daily News is now saying that Carlos Beltran will not need microfracture surgery and that his original diagnosis of a bone bruise was correct.
This should come as a huge sigh of relief for the Amazins and Beltran owners, as there was some speculation that he might never be the same player again. He will still be out through the All-Star break, which is longer than originally thought, but should be back soon afterward.
Carlos Beltran could require microfracture knee surgery on his balky right knee, according to the New York Post. The surgery could jeopardize his 2009 season, and possibly even his career, were he to have it.
The gut punches just keep coming for the New York Mets. The team will surely avoid the procedure, usually reserved for NBA players, at all costs, but that might just mean Beltran coming back and playing through more pain. If you are a Beltran owner, be sure to stay tuned, as the fate as his season will be decided in these next few days.
Carlos Beltran is visiting a specialist in Colorado Monday at the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic to examine the bone bruise under his right knee, according to Newsday. That is the same facility that Alex Rodriguez underwent his hip surgery.
Dr. Richard Steadman is a specialist in micro-fracture surgery, but he or the Mets did not comment that Beltran may need the procedure. The club wants to see how far the star outfielder's injury has progressed.
Mets manager Jerry Manuel says the team needs to trade for a "big bat," according to the New York Post.
It's hard to argue with the Amazins' skipper. The Mets were outscored 18-3 and swept by the Yankees in embarrassing fashion over the weekend, and have now scored two runs or fewer in four of their last six games, looking completely overmatched in the process.
Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman reports that injured Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran is seeking a second opinion on his balky right knee, but that a return to the Mets when he is eligible in two weeks is still very unlikely.
The news is getting worse for Beltran owners, as he appears headed for a prolonged stint on the DL. We'll update you as soon as the results from the second opinion are released.
Mets GM Omar Minaya told the New York Post on Tuesday that the best case scenario for injured slugger Carlos Beltran would be him returning after the minimum 15 days out. He then rather ominously added, "If we get him back for the second half (after the All-Star Break), I'd sign up for that right now."
Doesn't sound like the Mets think Beltran's knee problems are any minor thing. This is just more bad news for the Amazins' and Beltran fantasy owners. Hold your breath that he is activated from the DL when eligible on July 7, but plan for longer.
As expected, Carlos Beltran has been placed on the 15-day DL with his bruised right knee, according to the New York Daily News.
Beltran was unable to play through sharp pain caused by the injury. Fernando Martinez and Jeremy Reed will share the workload in center field while Beltran is on the shelf. GM Omar Minaya hopes Beltran will be ready to return in two weeks.
Carlos Beltran is bound for the 15-day DL due to his ailing knee, according to Ed Price's twitter page.
Mets' GM Omar Minaya is hopeful that Beltran will only be on the shelf for two weeks. The pain in his knee became too much to play with.
Carlos Beltran is slated for an MRI Monday on his ailing knee, and does not believe he can play much more with increased pain, according to MLB.com. He said, "I do not feel I can play a lot of games the way it felt today. I am a little bit worried, to be honest, because the way it was today, it was painful."
Beltran may be headed to the DL. He is dealing with a sharp pain that prevents him from running at full speed. Stay tuned for updates on the star outfielder.
According to Newsday, Carlos Beltran is in the lineup for Sunday's game despite having to undergo an MRI on Monday.
Looks like Beltran's balky knee won't keep him out of action. Be sure to keep him in your lineup, as even though he's been racked with injuries, he's still producing.
According to Newsday, Carlos Beltran's knee is still bothering him and the outfielder plans to schedule an MRI in the near future. Beltran states, "I just want to make sure it's not going to get worse. If it can get worse, I want to take care of it."
Despite the painful bone bruise, Beltran is in the lineup for Saturday's game. However, he was in a good amount of pain in Friday's game and says that each day is a struggle. Here's hoping he can play through it because the Mets can ill afford another crucial injury to a blue chip player. He can't play through the pain forever though.
Carlos Beltran was 2-for-4 with two stolen bases on Thursday, but the Mets still lost 5-4 to the Orioles at Citi Field.

Updating a previous report, Carlos Beltran has apparently recovered from his stomach ailment and will return to the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates, according to the New York Post.
Beltran is saying the illness was food poisoning, but that doesn't explain how John Maine caught it from him. Still, Beltran appears to be safe to plug back into your lineup. He did however lose five pounds while he was sick, but we don't think it will affect his power stroke.
According to SI.com, Carlos Beltran will miss his fourth straight game Wednesday with a bout of the flu. The sickness has been classified as just a case of the stomach flu and Swine flu has been officially ruled out.
The Mets were concerned that Beltran and John Maine, who is suffering from the same ailment, had caught Swine flu from a Mets' employee who is being tested for the illness. Apparently no one has it, so breathe easy. Beltran will be replaced once again by Jeremy Reed, but should be back in the lineup soon.

This means that Jeremy Reed will again get the start in the ailing Beltran's place. Last night he went 2 for 4 with two doubles.

According to Sports Illustrated, Carlos Beltran will be on the bench until Friday with a bruised knee.
The MRI revealed a bruise and an inflamed tibia, and the Mets hope that three days of rest will be enough for Beltran to get back in the lineup. This is actually good news for the Mets, because the injury could have been much more serious. Beltran won't be 100 percent when he returns, but some Beltran is better than none. And he is having an fantastic season so far. The Mets need his bat in the lineup. Even if it isn't fully up to snuff.

Carlos Beltran continued his hot start to the year by producing three hits five at-bats as he also scored two runs, knocked one in, and stole his first base of the year.
Oddly, despite hitting .415 with an OBP above .500, Beltran has only scored seven runs in his first 17 games and today's steal was his first of the year.
