PITTSBURGH (AP) — New York Mets manager Jerry Manuel says outfielder Jason Bay, out for a month with a concussion, may not return this season.
Bay isn’t able to do much physically — apparently, due to his remaining concussion-like symptoms — and Manuel said he won’t he ready to play during the Mets’ next homestand that begins Tuesday. After that, there might not be enough time left in the minor league season for Bay to go on a rehabilitation assignment.
Bay, 31, was injured running into a wall in Dodger Stadium while making a catch of Jamey Carroll’s drive on July 23 in Los Angeles. He played in the Mets’ next two games, but complained of headaches during the flight back to New York and hasn’t played since.
Bay is hitting .259 with six homers and 47 RBIs in 95 games.
