Mike Baxter, who suffered a displaced right collarbone on the no-hitter-saving catch on June 1, said the original six-week timetable for returning to the majors remains the most precise estimate.
Baxter has stayed in New York, where he is doing range-of-motion physical therapy as well as work in a pool and stationary bicycle.
If the six weeks hold, Baxter would return after the July 9-12 All-Star break.

Citi Bound?
With the Mets obvious need for quality relief pitching, especially in pressure situations, what would you say if I told you there was a guy who could step in and step up, and do a fantastic job for the Mets right now? What if I told you he wouldn’t cost anything, not in salary or in players or compensation,but would merely have to be added to the 40-man ML roster?

The hits just keep on coming for Jason Bay, and not in a good way. Yesterday, Terry Collins spoke to reporters before the game and said, ”I’m really worried about him”. Bay will be seeing a doctor today and the team will learn if he indeed suffered another concussion, his second in two years. When asked about the possibility of Bay missing the rest of the season, Collins...

MLB won't award Dickey a no-hitter
Major League Baseball ruled Friday that Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey will not be awarded a no-hitter.
The Mets had requested the league review the one hit allowed by the knuckleballer during a 9-1 win over Tampa Bay on Wednesday night.
The only hit in the 12-strikeout masterpiece was an infield chopper by speedy outfielder B.J. Upton in the first inning. Third baseman David Wright...

By no measure can we say that that Ike Davis is back just yet. I think he’d have to be way north of the interstate to back up that claim. However, not anymore can we say he is a lost cause and that he has to be shuffled off to Buffalo, because it appears that Davis is starting to get locked in at the plate and emerging from his deep slump.
Davis is on a six-game hitting streak...

MLB denies Mets' appeal for Dickey no-hitter
Nice try, Mets. It's not a no-hitter.
Major League Baseball has denied the team's appeal of an official scoring decision during R.A. Dickey's one-hitter at Tampa Bay. The knuckleballer allowed only an infield single Wednesday night, and New York asked the commissioner's office to review the play and consider whether third baseman David Wright should have been charged...

One of the roots of Jason Bay's lack of production in New York is that he has simply been unable to stay healthy. Bay hurt himself again in the second inning of the Mets' 7-3 loss Friday to the Reds, suffering a concussion while tumbling into the left-field wall in an attempt to field Jay Bruce's inside-the-park home run. The Mets indicated that they will place Bay...

The New York Mets starter got ahead of Jay Bruce 0-2, then opted for a curveball. Suddenly, Niese was no longer righting himself or getting ahead, as Bruce smacked the hanging curve...
