NEW YORK (AP) — Mets first baseman Ike Davis still hasn’t healed from a bone bruise on his left ankle and will wear a protective boot on his injured foot for the next three weeks. He is out indefinitely.
Sidelined since May 11, Davis has been slow to recover following a collision with teammate David Wright on a popup in Colorado. General manager Sandy Alderson says Davis’ sprained ankle has healed, but the bone bruise remains a problem.
Davis was re-examined Tuesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York and doctors decided to put him in a walking boot to take pressure off his injury. He will not run or field grounders for three weeks and will be limited to hitting and throwing during that time.
