Carlos Beltran says his bruised left knee fees "a lot better" the morning after he crashed into the fence in left-center field at Minute Maid Park making a leaping catch. "Today, I can bend my knee better," the New York Mets centerfielder said Sunday before the Mets wrapped up a three-game series in Houston. "I still feel pressure. But I feel a lot better from yesterday to today." The three-time All-Star, who has 39 home runs and 112 RBIs for the Mets this year, was out of Sunday's lineup, but Mets manager Willie Randolph expected Beltran to return as early as Monday.
