Mets' J.D. Davis: Tweaks calf against Royals
Davis injured his calf while running to first base during Friday's game against Kansas City, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

The 26-year-old went 2-for-4 with a run before exiting, extending his hitting streak to 10 games. He'll be considered day-to-day until the extent of the issue is uncovered. Aaron Altherr could get the call in left field Saturday if Davis can't go.
