Carlos Beltran did not play in yesterday's 7-3 win over the Padres, and although he said he could have, the All-Star center fielder said his right knee was ailing.
"[The medical advice was] that I need to be smart, that there are going to be days where I'm going to have big pain and I just need to let the trainers know," Beltran said. "But every day I just feel something there, but [yesterday] I feel like it was sore, and I just took treatment the whole day."
