Rehab Update: Carlos Beltran

Carlos continued his rehab assignment tonight in St. Lucie going 2 for 3 with a single, double and walk as a DH. It's good to know that Beltran can handle back to back games even if he didn't play the field today. He's obviously healthy enough to run the base paths but I still think they are going to take it very slow with his rehab games, the last stage in his comeback. Don't believe that he'll be playing in the bigs this weekend when the Metskies travel to Puerto Rico to play the Marlins starting Monday. It's been echoed on various shows and articles(here and here) but ultimately it would be hazardous to expose Beltran too early if he hasn't completed multiple back to back games while playing the field for all 9 innings.
