NEW YORK -- Mets infielder Juan Uribe will miss the National League Division Series because of a chest injury, general manager Sandy Alderson said Tuesday, but Uribe could be ready for the start of the NL Championship Series if the Mets advance against the Dodgers.
Uribe, 36, has not played since aggravating a chest injury on Sept. 25, five days after initially bruising his chest while diving for a ground ball at second base. The Mets have never given a specific diagnosis for Uribe's injury, saying only that it is a cartilage-based injury in the area where the clavicle meets his sternum.
