Beltran Hurt

Jose de Jesus Ortiz blogs the game for the Houston Chronicle:

Berkman lined a shot toward the left-center field wall, but Beltran sprinted in and made the catch while crashing into the wall. Once Beltran limped off the field, Wagner struck out Chris Burke to seal the Mets' 4-2 victory.

The Mets are 21-9 since the start of August. They can afford to give Beltran time to heal if he needs it. With luck, it's nothing, but even taking three weeks off would be fin at this point.

Update: It looks like his knee.

Beltran caught his spikes in the chain link and wrenched his left knee.

The Mets don't seem too concerned. From mets.com (http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060902&content_id=1642536&vkey=news_nym&fext=.jsp&c_id=nym):

The club, however, wasn't particularly concerned about his condition after a doctor, Warren Kadrmas (CQ), who had worked with the team in Spring Training, examined Beltran and said he found no significant damage.

It was a GREAT catch.
