Mets infielder Ruben Tejada is battling his way back into the rotation in the infield. Saturday, Tejada made a beautiful stop at short, earning the respect of manager Terry Francona, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Collins said after the game Tejada made a great play by a good player and that ever since he lost his job, Tejada has never worked harder.
That hard work is paying off as Tejada will draw the start at second base on Sunday, his third start of the season at second.
