Doctors will evaluate the right quad injury suffered by Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada Thursday morning, the New York Daily News reports. Tejada suffered the injury while sliding to avoid colliding with Mike Baxter in foul territory during a pop fly.
"He said he felt it running after the popup and that’s why he slid," manager Terry Collins said after the game. "He thought he could catch it, but he slid because his leg started to pull on him. He slid and then the groundball, obviously, you could tell something was wrong."
Tejada was sidelined for more than a month last season with a strained right quad.
