No need for Mets to worry over Jed Lowrie’s knee

PORT ST. LUCIE — Jed Lowrie received the kind of good news Thursday that seemed rare for Mets players last season, with an MRI exam showing “nothing serious” to his left knee, according to an industry source.

The 34-year-old infielder traveled to New York for the testing after experiencing discomfort in the knee during workouts this week.

For now the Mets plan to take it slow with Lowrie, who is expected back in camp on Friday. He had limited his workouts in recent days to tracking pitches in the batting cage, avoiding defensive drills and running.
