Beltran has concussion, won’t need surgery
Mike Cameron will need facial surgery and Carlos Beltran sustained a concussion after their frightening outfield collision, the New York Mets said Friday.
His surgery is scheduled for Friday night at 10 p.m. ET.
Both players spent Thursday night in a San Diego hospital following their seventh-inning crash in the Mets’ 2-1 loss to the Padres.
Cameron and Beltran were going at full tilt for David Ross’ sinking liner, and their heads hit as they made diving tries.
Cameron broke his nose and had multiple fractures of both cheekbones and a slight concussion.
New York Newsday reported that a CT scan didn’t show any damage to his brain.
The right fielder was placed on the 15-day disabled list, and Victor Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk for Friday night’s game at Los Angeles.
Newsday reported that Cameron could miss the rest of the season.
Beltran is expected to leave the hospital Friday night and will join the team in Los Angeles but will not be at the ballpark until at least Saturday.
Carlos will not need surgery for his minimally displaced facial fracture. He is listed as day to day.
