NEW YORK -- Mets second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Phillies due to an apparent injury. The injury appeared to have occurred when Cabrera fielded a throw to second base from catcher Devin Mesoraco to catch Nick Williams stealing in the fifth inning.
Cabrera jumped up from the play, seemingly in pain, and went straight to the medical staff in the dugout and was brought back to the clubhouse for examination. He returned to second base in the sixth inning and took an at-bat in the bottom of the sixth, lining out to right field.
