New York Mets second baseman Jed Lowrie will be sidelined for a least another few weeks after suffering a slight hamstring strain during his rehab stint with Triple-A Syracuse, the team said Tuesday.
Lowrie, 35, has not played for the Mets yet this season because of a sprained left knee capsule. He signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the team in January, following an All-Star season with the Oakland Athletics in which he batted .267 with 23 home runs and 99 RBIs.
Lowrie is returning to the Mets facility in Port St.
