PHILADELPHIA -- New York Mets center fielder Jose Siri was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday and started against the Philadelphia Phillies, five months after breaking his left leg.
The speedy Siri fouled a pitch off his leg April 12 against the Athletics and was carted off the field.
Acquired from Tampa Bay for pitcher Eric Orze in a November 2024 trade, Siri was 1 for 20 this season and hitless in his past 16 major league at-bats heading into Tuesday night's game. Batting ninth, he struck out his first time up.
