Carlos Beltran has been working out pain-free and was finally able to run the bases. Beltran is now going to have an MRI on the bruise to ensure that running the bases hasn't caused any further injuries. There's still no guarantee that sometime in the future he won't need micro fracture surgery but for now Beltran is hoping to get back out on the field to test the knee before the end of the season.Next up for Beltran is another MRI, likely at some point this week, in the hope that the bruise has decreased in size. The Mets are optimistic because Beltran has been working out pain-free and the All-Star centerfielder wants to finish the season with a few games under his belt as he heads into the winter. source Newsday
