Mets get back Beltran, wait on Reyes
(AP)?The New York Mets welcomed back one star player while they wait for another to get healthy.
Carlos Beltran returned from offseason knee surgery and made his 2010 debut for the Mets, batting cleanup and playing center field against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night.
Manager Jerry Manuel had written shortstop Jose Reyes? name in the lineup. But he had to scratch him when Reyes said he was still feeling pain on his sore right side. Reyes missed the All-Star game with the injury.
The Mets have not had both Reyes and Beltran in the lineup together since last May 20 in Los Angeles. Reyes missed the rest of the season with a hamstring injury and Beltran missed 2 1/2 months with a bone bruise on his right knee.
