Church takes BP; Sanchez hopefully a go for today

Ryan Church, who is recovering from a Grade 2 concussion after a collision last Saturday, took batting practice today.

The Mets are waiting to see how Church feels to see if he will be able to get in one of the the lineups today. The Mets have two games, one home against the Marlins at 1:10 p.m. which is available on CW11 and an away game against the Orioles at 1:05 p.m.

Hopefully Church is finally beyond any lingering dizziness or nausea from the misplay in the field. I still remain one of Church's strong supporters, so I hope he can get back into a game and start swinging a hot bat.

Duaner Sanchez aims to make an appearance in one of the games today, as he tries to recover from two injuries.

With all the injuries, and the first cuts of spring coming already, the Mets need everyone they can get to play in a game.

One can only hope that Sanchez returns to his 2006 form, otherwise a spot for a guy like Steven Register, who has 4 shut out innings of baseball under his belt, may present itself.
