PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — New York Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran received a cortisone shot Friday in his left knee, which has been inflamed because of tendinitis.
Beltran resumed baseball activities Wednesday after being shut down for more than a week while allowing anti-inflammatories to work. However, the knee was still bothering Beltran, so Mets team doctor Struan Coleman administered the shot Friday morning.
The 33-year-old right fielder developed tendinitis while overcompensating for his right knee, which underwent surgery last January.
