Ryan Church began his rehab yesterday, playing a game in New Orleans as a DH. Church went 1 for 3. Word is he will be able to play the outfield before the end of the week, and may be ready to return to the Mets by the end of the following week. That would be a huge addition for this offense. Unfortunately, Church can't close out games on the mound...

According to a report on WFAN-New York, Ryan Church appeared in his second rehab game yesterday for AAA New Orleans Zephyrs. He went 0 for 2, but did play 5 innings in the outfield. He is said to be prepared to start again tomorrow, possibly returning by next week.
