Mets Set Target Date for Beltran's Return

Before this afternoon's game against Washington, Mets manager Jerry Manuel told the media that the organization is not planning to push recovering center fielder Carlos Beltran to return before the All-Star break. Instead, the Mets have circled July 15 on their calender as the most likely return date for Beltran, who is currently rehabbing in Single-A Port St. Lucie.
