Mets Will Evaluate Beltran Next Week

The Mets will evaluate the health of outfielder Carlos Beltran next week.

Beltran has been playing games in Port St. Lucie.

"Somewhere, in about a week's time, we are going to evaluate him again," general manager Omar Minaya said.

Until he's evaluated, Beltran won't advance past the Single-A level.

Beltran is recovering from January knee surgery, and has yet to play a game for the Mets this year.

Mets Still In Play For Lee Despite Mejia Setback

The Mets believe they are still in play to add a pitching ace despite a recent injury to prospect Jenrry Mejia.

New York general manager Omar Minaya said Monday that his efforts to potentially acquire another starting pitcher before the July 31 non-waiver trading deadline won't be affected by Mejia's recent setback.

Mejia was diagnosed with a posterior cuff strain Monday.

"We're not about one prospect only," Minaya said.

Mejia Diagnosed With Posterior Cuff Strain

Mets right-hander Jenrry Mejia has been diagnosed with a posterior cuff strain in his right shoulder.

He removed himself from Sunday's game at Double-A Binghamton after throwing 43 pitches.

New York sent him down to Binghamton on June 20 in hopes of stretching his arm out to become a starter.

Mejia is expected resume throwing when "tolerated."
