Mets manager Terry Collins told reporters Sunday that infielder Ruben Tejada will be called up from Triple-A in the next few days. Reports Saturday suggested that the team could be waiting until at least Tuesday to make a move to delay Tejada's free-agency clock for a year.
Tejada has hit .288/.337/.379 with two home runs and 24 RBI in 240 at-bats with Triple-A Las Vegas.
