In the 97 games Moises Alou has started over the last two seasons, the Mets are 53–44, during which they’re averaging 5.5 runs per games.

In the 127 games he has missed, the Mets are 65–62 while averaging 4.4 runs per game.

What’s more, David Wright is batting .339 with Alou in the lineup, while batting .291 in his absence.

Similarly, Carlos Beltran is batting .313 with Alou in the lineup, but .238 with him out of the lineup.

Following Sunday’s game, Alou told reporters that he will return from the disabled list today.

However, according to the team, Alou will work out at Shea Stadium this afternoon, at which point they will decide whether to activate him or not.
