Health: Expect Easley to be out for the Week

In case you missed it, Damion Easley‘s MRI exam revealed a strained right quadriceps muscle.

Jerry Manuel told WFAN prior to last night’s game that Easley’s quad muscle is still ‘tender,’ and he will likely remain unavailable until the weekend.

Easley told reporters that he hopes to take batting practice later this week.

For what it’s worth, the Mets are 5–4 in games started by Luis Castillo since he returned from the disabled list in late August, during which he is batting .200.
