The Mets will wait until Sunday to decide whether Justin Turner (calf) will open the season on the disabled list.

Turner hasn't played since leaving Wednesday's game with a strained left calf. If he's ruled out for Opening Day, the Mets are expected to backdate his stint on the DL. "We need to have [him] work out tomorrow," manager Terry Collins said. "He's going to come in and see the trainers anyway. And then we'll make a decision after he goes through the workout."

Justin Turner left Wednesday's game with a strained left calf.

As though the Mets don't already have enough infielders to worry about. Turner is the latest addition to a list that already includes second baseman Daniel Murphy and third baseman David Wright. The 28-year-old had only recently recovered from a sprained ankle that cost him some games earlier this spring. The Mets infield has the makings of a M.A.S.H. unit come Opening Day.

Justin Turner (ankle) could return to the Mets' Grapefruit League lineup on Thursday afternoon.

Turner has been sidelined since Saturday with a sprained right ankle. He was able to work out on Wednesday, though, and reported feeling fine. Turner could start at second base to open the season while Daniel Murphy continues his recovery from a severe intercostal strain.
