Mets' manager Terry Collins said that Andres Torres (calf) felt "awkward" while taking four at-bats during a minor league game Friday.
The Mets originally hoped to have Torres play in a Grapefruit League game on Saturday, but they have now decided to keep him on the minor league side so they still have the ability to backdate a potential DL-stint. If he is unable to start the season on time, Scott Hairston would start in center field while Vinny Rottino would make the team as a right-handed bat off the bench.
