|
| MLB.com reports that the Padres waived outfielder Cliff Floyd and pitchers Cha Seung Baek and Shawn Hill on Thursday. |
Our View: Floyd could be close to retiring after totaling just 16 at-bats this season due to shoulder issues. He hasn't had a full or productive season in some time and may be better off just hanging up the spikes.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd has been transferred from the 15 to the 60-day DL by the Padres, according to TSN. |
Our View: He is dealing with a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Floyd only hit .125 over 16 at-bats as a pinch-hitter with the Padres this season, and did not hold any fantasy value.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd has been activated from the 15-day DL following his recovery from a strained right shoulder, according to TSN. Outfielder Drew Macias was sent down to Triple-A as the adjoining move. |
Our View: Floyd is not solid defensively, and his fantasy value will be limited to deeper leagues while serving as a reserve. His power should be hindered while playing his home games at Petco Park as well.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd, who has been recovering from a strained right shoulder, is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A Lake Elsinore, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. |
Our View: He is yet to make his season debut with the Padres. He is a liability as an outfielder, and will likely be limited to a bench role as a pinch-hitter when he is ready to join the club.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd ran in the outfield during batting practice on Wednesday, according to MLB.com. He recently had fluid drained from the knee and has been on the DL since April 5. |
Our View: Floyd has yet to register an at bat this season, and he figures to primarily serve as a pinch-hitter when he does return. Floyd's body and defense are simply too suspect to test in the field for nine innings in the field.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd had his knee drained last week, according to the North County Times. He is currently on the DL with a strained shoulder. |
Our View: His knee issue pushed back his rehab assignment that was slated to start Monday. It is uncertain when he will return to the diamond.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd has been placed on the 15-day DL by the Padres, according to Scout.com. Outfielder Drew Macias was called up from the minors as the adjoining move. Floyd is nursing a strained right shoulder. |
Our View: Floyd would not hold much fantasy value while serving as a reserve outfielder and pinch-hitter if healthy.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd sent a pitch over the wall in his only at-bat Friday against the White Sox. |
Our View: The 36-year-old Floyd offers only limited fantasy value this season. Any extended playing time he receives in the Padres' outfield will be the result of a rash of injuries.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd was 0-for-2 with a walk in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Rangers. |
Our View: Floyd shouldn't be expected to make many starts with San Diego and is batting just .222 so far this spring.
|
|
|
|
| Updating an earlier story, Cliff Floyd has signed a one-year, $750,000 deal with the Padres, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. |
Our View: Floyd will be the Padres main left-handed bat off the bench. His only fantasy value will come if he is pressed into the starting lineup due to other injuries.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd has reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with the Padres, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The deal is pending a physical and financial terms were not disclosed. |
Our View: Floyd will fill the Padres' need for a left-handed pinch hitter and DH for interleague action at AL parks. Floyd's fantasy value will be limited, especially while playing his home games at pitcher-friendly Petco Park.
|
|
|
|
| The Padres are interested in Cliff Floyd, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. He will be trying to bounce back from a torn labrum in 2009. |
Our View: Floyd would be added as a left-handed bat off the bench, and could serve as the Padres' DH during interleague play. If Floyd lands in San Diego as a reserve, his fantasy value would be limited.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd would like to return to the Rays, according to ESPN. |
Our View: The Rays reeled in outfielder Pat Burrell, but Floyd's rep is talking to the club about finding a role for his client. Floyd is attempting to bounce back from a torn labrum.
|
|
|
|
| It is possible that Cliff Floyd will retire due to his shoulder injury, according to the Sporting News Today. |
Our View: Floyd was with the Tampa Bay Rays last season, and made a solid contribution, with 11 home runs, 39 RBI and a .268 batting average. He has a torn labrum in his right shoulder, however.
|
|
|
|
| Rays DH Cliff Floyd has filed for free agency the day after Tampa Bay declined his option, according to MLB.com. |
Our View: Floyd said Monday that he had a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He plans to wait and see if any teams are interested in signing him before he decides to have the surgery, and if not, Floyd said, "I'll go home and retire."
|
|
|
|
| The Rays have declined Cliff Floyd's 2009 option, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: The 35-year-old outfielder would have made $2.75 million after batting .268 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI in 72 games in 2008 for the AL champion Rays.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd will try to rehab his slightly torn labrum in his right shoulder, but said he will retire if surgery is required, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Floyd said, "If I have any more surgeries, my career's a wrap. If it's something I can rehab from, we'll see what happens."
|
Our View: The Rays hold a $3-million option on the 35-year-old outfielder.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd was placed on injured reserve due to an injured right shoulder, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Floyd was injured on the bases during Game 2, manager Joe Maddon said, and was uncomfortable enough that he had trouble sleeping. |
Our View: Floyd will be replaced by Eric Hinske who had a far more productive regular season. He was just 1-for-3 in the World Series.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is not happy with outfielder B.J. Upton and his penchant for jogging around the bases instead of hustling, according to the St. Petersburg Times. "We're sitting here talking about why a guy didn't run out a ball — that's crazy. ... my heart's a little jacked up with that. It bothered me," he said. |
Our View: Upton has now been caught failing to hustle numerous times in the past few weeks. Rays manager Joe Maddon has basically washed his hands of the situation, saying it was something for other players to deal with, and it looks like Floyd is taking advantage of the opportunity.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is in the starting lineup Monday against the Blue Jays. He was unavailable Sunday due to the birth of his child. |
Our View: Keep an eye on Floyd as he can be hot hitter when he gets going. The problem is that the Rays have too many options at DH for anyone to get regular playing time.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is out of the lineup again on Tuesday, as the Rays continue to use Willy Aybar. "They’re going with the hot bat, and I don’t blame them – we’re winning," Floyd tells the Tampa Tribune. "I’m a realist. I like to win, too. At the end of the day, whoever gives you the best chance to win the game, you play." Floyd hasn't been in a game since June 6. |
Our View: This situation is likely temporary, unless Aybar keeps his hitting streak (at five games) going.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Saturday's 2-0 win over the White Sox. |
Our View: The Chicago native hit a home run in back-to-back games against the White Sox. That was his third homer over his last five games as well.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd was only 1-for-4 but his lone hit went for a game-winning home run in Friday's exciting 2-1 win over the White Sox. Floyd is notably a Chicago native. |
Our View: That was his second homer and fourth RBI over his last four games.
|
|
|
|
| Tampa Bay may have fallen to the Texas Rangers in depressing fashion (12-6) this evening, but designated hitter Cliff Floyd did his part to reverse their fortunes. Floyd, hitting late in the order, went 2-for-2 with two walks at the dish, smacking a home run to total two RBIs and three runs scored on the evening. |
Our View: Floyd has seen a significant drop in his batting production this month, going 9-for-40 coming into this game. Tonight's homer was his first in May and just his third this season.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd will start at DH on Sunday against the Angels. It will be his first start since April 6. He had been out due to a torn meniscus in his right knee. |
Our View: We expect to see Cliffy play regularly against right-handed pitchers.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd, who is coming off knee surgery just four weeks ago, could return as early as Sunday, this according to the St. Petersburg Times.
The report noted that skipper Joe Maddon was very pleased with Floyd's batting practice session Friday, but wanted to chat with Floyd and the team's medical staff before making any definitive move. |
Our View: Floyd's return will cut into the at-bats of Jonny Gomes and Eric Hinske.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Tampa Tribune, Cliff Floyd is close to returning from knee surgery. He was the designated hitter in an extended spring training game Tuesday for the second consecutive day, and will continue to get at-bats either in extended spring or with Vero Beach in Lakeland the rest of the week. |
Our View: Maddon left open the possibility that Floyd might be activated this weekend, but it sounds like the Yankees series that begins Monday at Tropicana Field is more likely scenario.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd played in an extended spring training game on Tuesday and could be back in the lineup by early next week, the Tampa Tribune reports. The veteran outfielder has been out since April 6 due to a torn meniscus in his right knee. He is recovering from surgery. |
Our View: We're not quite sure what will happen when Floyd is ready, as the Rays acquired Gabe Gross while Cliff has been down. Gross seems like the most obvious guy to send down, but would the Rays do that so quickly after getting him?
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is feeling good two weeks following his right knee surgery, according to the Tampa Tribune. Floyd commented, "If I had my choice, I'd be trying to get out there. It's just a matter of trying to get my feet under me now." Floyd added that he expects to get into some games next week, whether in extended spring training or on a rehab assignment, and he thinks he'll be ready to rejoin the Rays by the time they're back from their upcoming three-team road trip May 9.
|
Our View: Floyd would battle Jonny Gomes for playing time when he returns, and Floyd notably blasted two homers over 15 at-bats before going on the DL.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd was placed on the DL with a medial meniscus tear in his right knee, this according to MLB.com.
Floyd will undergo surgery Friday morning by Dr. Coco Eaton, and the Rays are unclear on a specific timetable for the veterans return. Jonny Gomes is the benefactor from the Floyd injury. Gomes goes from being what most believed would be a part time role this year, to full time right fielder and designated hitter. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd will need surgery to repair the torn medial meniscus in his right knee, and he is headed to the DL, according to the Tampa Tribune. The surgery will be performed on Friday by team orthopedist Koco Eaton. Outfielder Justin Ruggiano was recalled from Triple-A Durham. The timetable for Floyd's recovery is believed to be released later today.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd was scratched from a start on Monday because of soreness in his right knee, this according to the AP. Floyd is hitting .333-2-5 in four games this season, but his talent has never been in question. Floyd just cannot stay healthy having totaled 400 AB only once in the past five years. If you are counting on more than 350 AB from Floyd, it's already time to go with Plan B. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd did damage at the plate this evening, but his work fell a bit short as the Rays fell to the Baltimore Orioles 6-9. Floyd went 1-for-3 on the evening, hitting his first home run of the season to pick up three RBIs. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd reported to camp on Saturday and is prepared to split the outfield and DH roles. "Well, I think the important thing is when I do get out on the field, play well," Floyd tells MLB.com. "I mean, not try to be Superman, because that's going into the danger zone... Whatever role I'm put into, I'm sure I can adapt to it, whether it's going into the outfield and playing two, three days a week and DHing two." |
|
|
|
| Rays executive vice president Andrew Friedman says he sees Cliff Floyd splitting his time evenly between DH and the outfield in 2008, according to the Tampa Tribune. Floyd, who signed a one-year contract with Tampa on Monday, figures to see most of his at-bats against right-handers. And the fact that he'll get to spend some time at DH should help him stay healthy. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd signed a one-year contract with the Rays on Monday. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but the it's expected to be worth around $3 million. Floyd will see action against right-hander next year, but he won't have any value outside of AL-only leagues. |
|
|
|
| The Rays and Cliff Floyd are still working on a one-year deal that would include an option for 2009, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Floyd, 35, hit .284-9-45 in 108 games for the Cubs in 2007. |
|
|
|
| The Rays are in serious discussions with free agent Cliff Floyd, and a deal could be completed within the next couple of days, according to the Tampa Tribune. If signed, Floyd, who hit .284 with nine homers in 282 at-bats in 2007, would see time in right field and DH. |
|
|
|
| The Cubs declined their 2008 option on Cliff Floyd Saturday, according to the AP. Floyd has discussed retirement, although he's also stated he'd like to end his career in Florida, where he had some of his best seasons. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is contemplating retirement after the season. Floyd's minimal production at the plate (seven homers, 42 RBI) combined with some personal issues he went through this year (his father passed away in August) have the 34-year-old thinking about hanging up his cleats, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Floyd said he would really have to think about retirement if the Cubs should happen to win the World Series. "Definitely, that would make it more likely," Floyd said. "If we win this, that will definitely be more likely. I could easily not think about it. I could easily go home." |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is expected to travel with the Cubs for their West Coast trip, which begins on Tuesday. However, he's not expected to take part in game action until at least Wednesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. Floyd's maxed out his stay on the bereavement list, so the Cubs will place him on the restricted list for now. His father recently died, so the club is giving him all the time he needs before returning to the mix. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is only allowed to stay on the bereavement list through Sunday morning. It looks like he probably won't be ready for game action right away, though. "When he gets here, he gets here," manager Lou Piniella told the Chicago Tribune. "He'll probably need a couple days working out to get in shape." That means the Cubs will have to move him to the restricted list until he's ready to suit up for game action again. There's no official word yet, but it appears that Floyd won't play again for a few more days. He's been away from the team following the death of his father. |
|
|
|
| It's unclear when Cliff Floyd, who is on bereavement leave, will rejoin the Cubs, according to the Chicago Tribune. "He and his dad were close, so it's been a tough couple of months for him," Derrek Lee said. "He's done a great job of staying professional here at the stadium." |
|
|
|
| The Cubs placed Cliff Floyd on the bereavement list Sunday. Daryle Ward was activated from the DL to replace Floyd on the roster. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is expected to get Sunday off, the AP reports. He was initially expected to sit out Saturday's game but at the last minute Lou Piniella held out Matt Murton instead. Floyd went 1-for-3 with an RBI in the game. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd (sore neck) was out of the starting lineup for the second straight day Saturday, the AP reports. As a precaution, Cubs manager Lou Piniella wanted to give him one extra day. "I just assumed that one more day would be good for him. I think that was the game plan after talking to the trainers (Friday)," said Piniella. Floyd did pinch-hit and popped out to end the game. Floyd said he feels better and it's up to Piniella when he wants to put him back in the lineup. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd left Thursday's contest against the Giants after three innings due to a sore neck, according to the AP. He suffered the injury while colliding with pitcher Matt Morris at first base. Floyd had just returned to the Cubs lineup Wednesday after missing three games with a sore left shoulder, so this isn't good news. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd should return to action on Monday or Tuesday, according to the Chicago Tribune. He missed Sunday's contest after jamming his left shoulder on Saturday. No X-rays were taken, so it doesn't appear to be anything serious at this time. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd's left shoulder was hurting after Saturday's game, the AP reports. He missed a diving catch on the first ball hit in the game and had to leave after one inning because of a strain. He's not sure how long he will be out. "The ground in the outfield over there is really hard and it cost me a day," Floyd said. Floyd had just gotten a cortisone shot Monday for a sore elbow. "Right now it's not looking good. Hopefully I'll get a good night's sleep and with the medication I'll feel better (Sunday)." |
|
|
|
| Cubs outfielder Cliff Floyd injured his left shoulder on a dive attempt during Saturday’s game against the Astros. He is considered day-to-day. If you’re using Floyd regularly in your lineup, you should get another option ready for next week. Keep in mind that he's also been battling a right shoulder problem. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd said on Friday that the cortisone shots he received Monday have helped his right shoulder and elbow improve, according to the Chicago Tribune. He also said he was ready to return to action, so he could be back in the lineup on Saturday. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd plans to receive cortisone shots in his right shoulder and elbow on Monday. "I'll have four days off to relax and hopefully it'll kick in for the second half," he said to the Chicago Tribune. If he isn't feeling better after the break, the Cubs might put him on the disabled list. They could backdate it to July 6, so his stay on the DL could be brief. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd hyperextended his right elbow on Thursday. He considered gettting a cortisone shot but is hoping that limiting himself to pinch-hitting duties over the weekend and resting during the All-Star break will help him heal up, according to the Daily Southtown. Check for updates after the break, but it looks like he should be ready later next week. |
|
|
|
| The Cubs re-instated Cliff Floyd from the bereavement list on Monday. He had been away from the team while tending to his sick father, according to the AP. Floyd should return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Mariners. |
|
|
|
| The Cubs might have Cliff Floyd back in the mix as soon as Monday, according to the Chicago Tribune. Floyd left the Cubs and was placed on the bereavement list on Friday so he could be with his ill father. Hopefully, the Cubs will have an update later in the day, but it appears that Floyd should be back soon, regardless. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd was placed on the bereavement list Friday night as he returned to Chicago to be with his sick father, according to the AP. Floyd was removed from the starting lineup about an hour before Friday night's game against the Braves. It wasn't immediately known when Floyd would return to the team. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd missed Friday's game due to a strained muscle in his side. He'll sit out Saturday's game, as well, since the Cubs are facing a left-handed starter, according to the Chicago Tribune. "That will give me two days off and I hope I can help Sunday," he said. Floyd's always battling some malady. With any luck, this will just be a short-term ailment, though. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd batted fourth between Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez Wednesday, and Lou Piniella will likely keep it that way for a bit, the AP reports. Floyd went 2-for-4 in Wednesday's loss to Florida. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd expects to be available on Tuesday night against the Pirates, the Chicago Tribune reported. He was not able to play on Sunday due to a sore back. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd missed Sunday's game due to a sore back, which he blamed on a soft bed, according to the Daily Southtown. "It was horrible in Pittsburgh -- I had to sleep with the pillows in between my legs," Floyd said. "Then I got home and that bed is a little soft. I have a new one coming. It was supposed to get here this morning." He hopes to return to action on Tuesday. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd was removed for precautionary reasons Wednesday after taking an Ian Snell fastball just above the right knee, the Cubs official site reports. Floyd is expected to be ready to go when the team returns to action Friday. |
|
|
|
| The Daily Southtown reports that so long as Cliff Floyd is hitting well -- he has a .312 BA and two RBI so far -- he'll get the majority of starts over Matt Murton in left field against right-handed starters. "Look . I like Murton and Murton is going to get some playing time," manager Lou Piniella said. "He can swing the bat. But we're very right-handed and we're trying to get a little more left-handed in the lineup. Floyd can swing the bat." |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd probably will work in minor league camp as a DH this week, according to the Daily Southtown. Cubs manager Lou Piniella said he doesn't want to over work Floyd in the outfield this spring, as Floyd is recovering from offseason heel surgery. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is scheduled to make his spring debut Monday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. He's coming back from heel surgery. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd wasn't expected to take part in a spring game until March 7-10, but now it looks like he won't be in the mix until the 11th or 12th, according to the Daily Southtown. Floyd is recovering from surgery that removed bone spurs from his left foot. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is not expected to see any playing time until March 10, to give his left foot time to heal, the Cubs official site reports. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is proceeding with caution this spring following offseason surgery which removed bone spurs from his left foot, according to the Daily Southtown. "I'm at 80-85 percent running," Floyd said. "I had the surgery on Oct. 25 and I've always been blessed to heal quick even though I've been hurt a lot. That's one good quality I have." |
|
|
|
| The Cubs signed Cliff Floyd to a one-year, $3 million deal that includes a mutual option for 2008, according to ESPN.com. Floyd, who was limited to 332 at-bats with the Mets last year due to Achilles tendon issues, is expected to serve as the Cubs fourth outfielder. However, it seems likely that he'll wind up in a platoon with Matt Murton in left field. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd appears close to signing a free-agent contract with the Cubs, according to the Sun-Times. Floyd is expected to be a fourth outfielder, backing up the corner outfield spots. |
|
|
|
| The Cubs may sign Cliff Floyd and platoon him with Matt Murton in left field next season, according to the Chicago Tribune. Floyd is believed to have the Cubs on the top of his list of teams to play for. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday to repair his ailing Achilles tendon, according to Newsday. He expects to wear a boot for the following for three months. "I'll probably use spring training to get ready for the season, instead of coming to spring training ready," Floyd said. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd returned to action last night as a pinch-hitter, though he grounded out. Afterward, he said "it felt like nine months" since his last at-bat, according to the New York Daily News. Floyd, who is battling a sore Achilles tendon, predicted that Endy Chavez would start in left field again tonight. However, Floyd said he would again be available to pinch-hit. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd said yesterday that he has improved since having to leave Game 1 of the NLCS after aggrevating his Achilles injury, according to the New York Post. "I'm better," he said. "Not 100 percent better. I'm just better." Floyd said that if he is able to run without too much pain, he could appear again in the series. |
|
|
|
| The New York Daily News reports that Cliff Floyd took batting practice yesterday and appeared capable of contributing as a pinch-hitter at some point during the NLCS. Floyd is battling an ongoing Achilles tendon injury. |
|
|
|
| The New York Daily News reports that Cliff Floyd received ultrasound treatment for his ailing left Achilles tendon yesterday. It's not clear when he may be ready to start a game, but the Mets are hoping he'll be available as a pinch-hitter during the NLCS. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd will not play in the second game of the NLCS Friday. He left Thursday's game in the second inning after re-aggravating his achilles injury.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd left Thursday’s game after appearing to aggravate his left achilles injury in the second inning. Floyd limped back to the dugout after flying out. He was replaced in left field by Endy Chavez. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd is on the Mets' NLCS roster, according to the team's official site. It is not known whether Floyd, who is dealing with an Achilles injury, will start or come off the bench. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd tested out his injured Achilles Tuesday by running the bases and working out in the outfield, according to the AP. Floyd favored his left leg during the workouts, but he might be healthy enough to play in the NLCS. "He had a nice little workout," manager Willie Randolph said. "I'm optimistic it will work out fine. We have time to wait, see how he feels when he gets up tomorrow morning. We don't anticipate any setbacks or anything like that, but might as well take the opportunity to wait and see before we make a decision on that." Even if Floyd is on the roster, it seems possible that he would not start, which would open a spot in left field for Endy Chavez. |
|
|
|
| The Mets will likely know Cliff Floyd's status for the NLCS after a workout today, according to the New York Post. GM Omar Minaya said he "won't know about Cliff until he goes out there [today] for the workout and we get a feel for where he's at." Floyd, who is dealing with an Achilles tendon injury, would be replaced in the starting lineup by Endy Chavez. His roster spot would be filled by either Lastings Milledge or Ricky Ledee. The Mets could decide to keep Floyd on the roster but drop a pitcher, most likely Royce Ring, in favor or Milledge or Ledee. |
|
|
|
| The New York Daily News reports that Cliff Floyd was optimistic yesterday about taking part in the NLCS opener on Wednesday. Floyd aggravated his troublesome Achilles tendon during Saturday's NLDS Game 3. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd apparently aggravated his ailing Achilles injury during yesteday's game, and his status for the remainder of the postseason is in doubt, according to the New York Daily News. "I was thinking maybe I played my last game of the season," Floyd said. Endy Chavez would start if Floyd is sidelined. |
|
|
|
| It's not clear if Cliff Floyd will start Saturday's game, according to the New York Daily News. He aggravated his Achilles during Game 2. "It feels okay," Floyd said. "I'm okay to play. It is what it is. You have to deal with it." Endy Chavez would start if Floyd can't. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd returned from his sore left Achilles on Sunday and should start Game 1 over Endy Chavez, according to the New York Daily News. "It was all right," said Floyd. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd, who has been dealing with a sore left ankle, played Sunday for the first time since Tuesday and hit leadoff to get extra at-bats. He went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd rejoined the Mets Friday after getting a cortisone shot in for his sore left ankle, the AP reports. He will play Saturday or Sunday according to manager Willie Randolph.
|
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd traveled to Manhattan yesterday to get a cortisone shot in his troublesome left ankle, the New York Daily News reports. Willie Randolph indicated Floyd would be available for Game 1 of the division series. Players generally need to wait 48 hours after receiving cortisone before playing, so team officials said now was the right time for Floyd to briefly leave the team. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd missed another game Sunday due to his ailing Achilles tendon, though he is expected to start tonight, according to the New York Daily News. Apparently, the Mets are concerned enough about his ability to play through the injury that his spot on the postseason roster is in jeopardy. He said the injury has eroded his confidence and, he believes, his teammates' confidence in him. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd was not in the starting lineup on Friday night, according to the AP. Manager Willie Randolph said that he was just giving Floyd some time off prior to Saturday's day game. Floyd has been dealing with a sore left Achilles' tendon. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd would have missed yesterday's game had it not been rained out, according to the New York Daily News. It's not clear if he'll be able to play tonight. Floyd said his ailing Achilles "probably" will require offseason surgery. |
|
|
|
| Cliff Floyd, activated from the 15-day DL before Saturday's game, had a sacrifice fly in the fourth and a run-scoring double in the ninth to help the Mets to their 13th win in the last 15 games. He had been out since Aug. 9 with an Achilles' tendon injury. |
|
|
|
| The Mets plan to activate Cliff Floyd in time to start tonight's game, according to the New York Daily News. He's been out with Achilles tendinitis and proved he was ready to return to action by blasting two homers in a Single-A rehab game last night. |
