Ruben Tejada is making progress in his recovery from a broken right fibula. Tejada didn't require surgery after the injury on September 18 and appears to be on track with his initial six-to-eight-week recovery window. The soon-to-be 24-year-old is coming off a lost season, but he figures to be the favorite to open the season as the starting shortstop unless the Mets go in another direction this winter.
