Church Sits Sunday

After being held out of the Mets' lineup Friday "to protect him from a lefthander" according manager Jerry Manuel, Church left the field early Saturday due to dizziness. Then on Sunday he did not play. MLB.com had this explanation:

Ryan Church said he didn't play Sunday because of lingering effects in relation to migraine headache -- not post-concussion syndrome -- and he would have been available to pinch-hit. Manuel explained that Church definitely wouldn't play, because it was his policy not to put someone into action who he had to pull from the lineup the night before. "It's an extra step of being cautious," said Manuel, who removed Church from Saturday's game when he started complaining of headaches in the eighth inning. "He's available, he could play, but we are just going to take it out of his hands and rest him." -- MLB.com
