NEW YORK — While both Jose Reyes and Daniel Murphy came out of the Mets’ game Sunday due to injury, general manager Sandy Alderson made it clear after the game that Murphy’s was the more serious of the two.
Though it is not known whether Reyes will go on the 15-day disabled list, Alderson said Murphy will definitely be headed to the DL, to be replaced on the 25-man roster by Ruben Tejada.
Murphy, who entered the game in the bottom of the sixth, was helped off the field after the Braves’ Jose Constanza slid into his left shin on a play at second base, causing his left knee to buckle. Murphy responded by hopping away on his right foot before going to the ground. An X-ray on Murphy at Citi Field was negative for any fractures, though both he and Reyes were to undergo MRIs at the Hospital for Special Surgery on Sunday evening.
