NEW YORK -- Lengthy medical updates have become a part of Mets manager Terry Collins daily routine.Not exactly what New York needs during its final push for a return to the postseason, but thats the reality facing the reigning NL champions.Collins was at least able to provide a bit of good news after his teams 10-8 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night.Although he was unable to making his scheduled start Saturday because of strep throat, ace Noah Syndergaard threw a bullpen, and Collins said his All-Star pitcher would pitch instead Tuesday against Miami.It went great, Collins said. Were going to go with him on Tuesday. He did tell me that even during his workout, he felt just a little fatigued, so I thought one more day trying to get him some nourishment in him would help.The Mets used 16 pitchers during the first two games with the Phillies, including Friday after left-hander Steven Matz was scratched, and then had to exhaust the bullpen again Saturday when Sean Gilmartin allowed five runs before departing with two outs in the first inning.The Mets are tied with San Francisco for the two NL wild-card spots. St. Louis is a half-game back.While Syndergaard is returning on Tuesday, Collins wasnt as optimistic for Matz.Doctors again examined Matz, and Collins said an MRI came back clean on the young left-handers troubled shoulder. However, the manager made no mention of when, or if, Matz would throw again this season. If Matz does return, Collins wasnt sure if hed be able to find a start for him over the seasons final week.Right now, it might be, if hes able to pitch, we put him in the `pen and see if we can get him an inning here and an inning there, he said. But where we are, Im not sure where were going to get him in.Collins also said Wilmer Flores could miss the remainder of the regular season. He injured his wrist in a home-plate collision on Sept. 10 in Atlanta. Hes received two cortisone injections but shown little improvement and has not taken batting practice.Not close to hitting, Collins said.Flores said he visited a doctor Friday and was instructed to give his ailing wrist a little more time.I want to be healthy, Flores said. Im the first guy that wants to be out there helping the team. Its just frustrating. I want to tough it out, but its something that I dont want to hurt the team and hurt myself by doing that.While Flores remains out, shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera was in Saturdays lineup, one day after fouling a ball off his left knee. Collins said Friday night he might give Cabrera the next day off, but the infielder talked his way into the lineup.He just came in today and said `Im in there, Collins said. Were on a mission and he knows hes playing good and knows hes swinging the bat great and knows he needs to be in there.The good news for Collins and the Mets is Cabrera is just dealing with a bruise, something unrelated to the strained patellar tendon hes battled in his left knee.This is a bruise, not like the other knee issue he has. When that one flares up, were in trouble, Collins said. Greg Olsen Panthers Jersey .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief.

Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night.Arsenal Ladies and England footballer Casey Stoney is not sure a high-profile male player will come out in the near future but thinks it would be a positive experience for anyone who did. The issue of homosexuality in English football was on the agenda at the LGBT In Sports Conference in London, where Stoney was among the speakers with former NBA star John Amaechi and Olympic boxing gold medalist Nicola Adams.Stoney publicly acknowledged she was gay in 2014, after previously admitting she feared making such an announcement would affect her career, and she feels such barriers still exist within football. Only a shortlist of male players have come out, and of those only Justin Fashanu, Robbie Rogers and Thomas Hitzlsperger have played in top-level leagues in England, the latter not making his announcement until after he retired. Former Germany international Thomas Hitzlsperger announced he was gay in 2014 Speaking at the #TeamPride eventt, Stoney said: I think there is quite a bit of work to do.dddddddddddd. Its not just football in terms of an organisation, its about the fans, its about the terraces, the changing rooms.We want to get to a day when its no longer a story if someone comes out and I dont think we are ever going to get to a day unless there are male players that are comfortable and they dont live in fear that it is going to be held against them.The biggest reason [a player wont come out] is probably fear. Theres 80,000 people in the stands who will use anything to make you feel bad.I think it would be a really positive experience if someone high profile came out - it would change the game, change the terraces and be a positive experience for football.It hasnt happened yet - how long is a piece of string. I cant see it happening any time soon but society is changing and I know that from personal experience, so I think it would be a positive thing for the person that did.
