NEW YORK -- He ran, he played catch, he took fly balls, he took batting practice, he broke a sweat. Monday was one more day in which RYAN CHURCH didn't play. He did everything but that -- all with the goal of playing this weekend.
Assigned to the 15-day disabled list but eligible to be activated, Church tested himself before the Mets game on Monday night, doing all of what he can -- plus more running -- when he does play. And he emerged symptom-free and encouraged. If he can repeat the process on Tuesday, Church may play in Class A Brooklyn Cyclones games on Wednesday and Thursday and then return to the Mets on Friday for the two-site doubleheader against the Yankees.
"Everything I do will depend on how I feel," he said.
Church said he has experienced no post-concussion symptoms since his DL assignment began on June 9, retroactive to June 6.
