Beltran Will Be Latest Met To Hit The DL

Add Carlos Beltran to the Mets MIA list.

Beltran's ailing right knee has been giving him trouble all season long, so much so that he missed about a week in mid-May. Beltran's stats have been going down since the knee started giving him trouble, and it appears that the center fielder can no longer stand the pain.

The Mets will recall Fernando Martinez to replace Beltran in center field as early as tonight against the surging St. Louis Cardinals. The Mets are also bringing up reliever Pat Misch to replace the horribly inconsistent Ken Takahashi.
