Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran sat out for the second straight day on Tuesday to rest left knee tendinitis and his chronic right knee woes. Beltran will be out four to five days, a Mets spokesman said. "I don't want to compensate into the one that I really have to protect," Beltran said of his knees. "I let the trainers know, and the doctor decided to put me on anti-inflammatories for a week and then shut down some of the work I've been doing outside, the high-impact. Heating is OK, cardio on the bike, the pool. It's not like I'm not going to do anything. I'm going to continue to work and try to put myself in shape, but the field things, it's going to be off [for] a little bit."
