Mets manager Terry Collins said he expects INF Asdrubal Cabrera to be ready for Opening Day (Mar. 17).
"Right now I think he'll be available," Collins said about the Mets' April 3 opener against the Royals in Kansas City.
Cabrera said that his left knee feels "much better."
Cabrera suffered a strained patellar tendon in the knee last week and was sent to New York, where he received a platelet-rich plasma injection on March 11.
The Mets said at the time that Cabrera would rest for two weeks before returning to action as the pain tolerates.
