Tejada, Flores no longer wearing walking boots

Mets infielders Ruben Tejada and Wilmer Flores are no longer wearing their walking boots after sustaining leg injuries, according to ESPN's Adam Rubin.

Tejada suffered a broken fibula in Game 2 of the NLDS when Dodgers infielder Chase Utley slid late and hard into second base to try and break up a double play.

Tejada, 26, missed the rest of the playoffs after the injury, which prompted a suspension for Utley and MLB to discuss the neighborhood play at second base. Last season, Tejada hit .261 with three home runs and 28 RBIs.
