NEW YORK (AP) — Mets outfielder Jason Bays says he has not felt any symptoms from a concussion for the first time since he was injured in late July and hopes he can return to the field this season.
Bay says Friday before New York played the Houston Astros he knows he is facing a lengthy rehabilitation process and that there might not be enough time to get into game shape.
Mets general manager Omar Minaya says there is no timetable for his return because of the nature of Bay’s injury. The team will be extremely cautious.
The 31-year-old Bay was injured running into a wall in Dodger Stadium on July 23 while making a catch. He played in the Mets’ next two games, but complained of headaches during the flight back to New York and hasn’t played since.
