Ex-Mets teammates say Lenny Dykstra is recovering from stroke

Former major league outfielder Lenny Dykstra sustained a stroke earlier this week and is recovering at a Los Angeles hospital, the New York Post reported on Thursday.

The Post reported that Darryl Strawberry and Kevin Mitchell, who were teammates of Dykstra on the New York Mets, said Dykstra was in good spirits and set to undergo further evaluation at UCLA Medical Center.

The former players said the 61-year-old Dykstra had been moved out of intensive care. Mitchell told the Post that Dykstra would likely be hospitalized into next week.

"He's laying down, but he is being Lenny," Mitchell told the Post.
