Church told to lay low Tuesday: Ryan Church, out with a concussion, was at Shea Stadium Tuesday to exercise but he was being kept from baseball activities for several days. Church said he was told to "Lay low. "It's tough to do ... but it's something that's going to help me get back quicker." Church is on the disabled list for the second time this season because he has been unable to recover from two concussions. He went back on the DL July 6, six days after he missed most of June following a May 20 concussion, his second in less than three months. Doctors had told Church his latest symptoms could be related to the migraine headaches he has had since he was a teenager. "There is no problem," Church said. "It's just one of those things they wanted me to take a couple of extra days. I feel good." Church thinks his next doctor's appointment is Thursday, when he could be cleared to resume baseball activities. (Updated 07/22/2008).
Injury Report
Post-concussion syndrome - 15-day DL. Out until at least late July (Updated - 7/8/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Church is batting .307 with 10 home runs and 36 RBIs. He was acquired by the Mets last offseason in a trade with Washington. Church should be back by the end of the month, so keep a close eye on the outfielder as he progresses with his recovery. He has the power and potential to be a solid mixed league contributor when healthy. (Updated 07/22/2008).
