Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada will draw the bulk of the playing time over Omar Quintanilla once he returns to the team in September, ESPN New York reports.
"He's going to play quite a bit when he gets here," manager Terry Collins said Friday. "We've got to find out what's going on. And we'd like to see how he handles some things right now, too, because I know he's probably saying to himself, 'I've got something to prove.'"
Tejada has hit .295/.347/.379 with one home run and 23 RBI in 255 at-bats for Triple-A Las Vegas.
