Lenny Dykstra had a stroke this week and is recovering at a Los Angeles hospital, the New York Post has reported.

Darryl Strawberry and Kevin Mitchell, teammates of Dykstra on the New York Mets, said Dykstra was in good spirits and set to undergo further evaluation at UCLA Medical Center.

Mitchell told the Post that Dykstra would likely be hospitalized into next week.

"He's laying down, but he is being Lenny," Mitchell said. "We get to an age now where we have got to take care of ourselves. I told him he has to take more care of himself. You can't let stress bother you. He's been through a lot. I love him with all my heart."
