Quotes
Andy Green
New York Mets manager
“Didn’t tell anybody and knee swelled up on him, and it’s not right to push through anything at this stage of the season. Don’t think there’s anything long-term here, but it is enough that it doesn’t make sense for him to make his next start.”

“I think long term we know what role he will slide back into, but for these outings I don’t think we’re overly concerned about that. We just want to get him back on the mound pitching again and he’s done a lot of work to get to that point.”
