This isn’t great news for the Mets… or is it?

New York Mets catcher Brian Schneider is out indefinitely with a strained right calf.

Schneider was a late scratch from Wednesday’s game after waking up with pain and stiffness behind and above his right knee. He underwent an MRI.

“There’s no particular thing that I did. I just woke up with it, and it just got worse and worse as the day went on,” Schneider said. “Today it’s feeling better, and we’ll just get more treatment.”

Schneider last played Sunday. He is batting .308 with one home run and five RBIs this spring training.

A lot of people are down on Schneider, because he has had injury concerns, and is only an average bat, and a left handed bat at that, in a lineup overloaded with left handed bats.  Let’s keep an eye on this.
