Note: Castro-Santos doing a Good Job
In case you missed it…
Ramon Castro left Saturday’s game with a tight right quadricep.
Omir Santos was 3 for 5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored on Saturday and Sunday.
According to Newsday, Castro said he 
could pinch hit and play an inning or two during yesterday’s game.
Prior to yesterday’s game, Jerry Manuel acknowledged Brian Schneider is dealing with a calf injury, though he initially went on the disabled list with back pain.
However, Manuel would not give a specific timetable for Schneider’s return.
In 16 games for the Mets, the 28–year-old Santos is hitting .300 with eight RBI and five extra base hits.
Meanwhile, Castro is hitting .292, and also has five extra base hits with eight RBI in 16 games for the Mets.
…from what i can gather, schneider is at least a week or so away from being able to return, though it will probably be longer… and so, who knows where santos and castro will be at that point… but, it will make for an interesting situation when schneider returns, because, most things being equal, i have to believe the Mets send santos down… unless, of course, they decide to carry three catchers and one less relief pitcher, like they did through much of last season…
