Jose Siri Suffers a Setback
The Athletic's Tim Britton writes that New York Mets outfielder Jose Siri (leg) suffered a setback, with the reimaging of his fractured tibia showing that it hasn't healed as much as the team had hoped. Siri has backed off his running and baseball activities and will be re-evaluated in around two weeks. President of baseball operations David Stearns said Siri is still "a ways away." The 29-year-old was originally given an eight- to 12-week timetable for a return after he broke his leg on April 12 against the Athletics. Now that he's had a setback, he is not going to be ready to rejoin the big-league roster until after the All-Star break and will still need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. Siri's absence has led to more playing time for Tyrone Taylor in center field, but he's hit just .229/.295/.324 with a homer, 12 RBI, 18 runs scored and eight steals in 188 at-bats.
