Jose Siri Nearing Return for Mets, Could Start Rehab Assignment Next Week

Mets outfielder Jose Siri is progressing well from a fractured left tibia and is expected to begin a rehab assignment with minor league games as early as next week. Siri, acquired in a November trade, had started eight of the Mets' first 14 games prior to his injury. He was hitting 1-for-20 with one RBI and had stolen two bases before being sidelined.
