@News: Mets Injury Update, Knicks Shopping Robinson, Lee

Mets and Knicks news from around the Tweetosphere:

Looks like injuries will continue to dog the Mets into the second half. Omar Minaya gave a health rundown today, and there is very little help on the way.

via The Daily News’ Adam Rubin:

- Carlos Beltran: The center fielder’s right knee bone bruise is preventing him from doing anything rehab-wise. Minaya said that he hasn’t even begun jogging yet.

- Jose Reyes and John Maine: Maine threw Rayes batting practice today, and Minaya said that the pitcher could be back by the end of the month. He was optimistic about Reyes too, but popular thought is that he will be out past the end of the month. He’s still unable to make sharp cuts on his recovering hamstring.

- Fernando Martinez: The outfielder underwent surgery on his right knee. He will be out 6-8 weeks while his torn meniscus heals.

- Carlos Delgado: Delgado is swinging a bat now, but his return is still slated for August.

- Also, Angel Berroa worked out at shortstop today after being called up in place of Argenis Reyes.

via ESPN Radio’s Andrew Marchand:

- The Knicks are trying everything to give Nate Robinson away, says one NBA executive.

- New York is also looking into a sign-and-trade with David Lee. The most logical destination is the Utah Jazz, though those plans hinge on whether Utah retains forward Paul Millsap.
