NEW YORK -- Fueled by the hot bats of Asdrubal Cabrera, Yoenis Cespedes and Neil Walker, the Mets have made a drive back into the thick of the postseason race. But on Sunday, before the end of the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field, all three had gone down to injury.Manager Terry Collins said before the game that Cespedes has a tight quadriceps, Walker has a stiff back and both would be out of the lineup for the contest. Cabrera left the contest in the bottom of the first inning with a sore left knee.All three players have been bothered by these same injuries this season.Cabrera, the starting shortstop hitting second in the order, bunted for a one-out hit but collided with Phillies first baseman Tommy Joseph and came away holding his left wrist. After being checked out by the team trainer, Cabrera remained in the game. He moved to second on Kelly Johnsons single to right but was moving gingerly. He was later removed from the game for what the team called a sore left knee.Cabrera missed time with a left knee injury earlier this month and returned from the disabled list Aug. 19. He has thrived at the plate in nine games since, batting .455 with 3 home runs and 9 RBIs.Cespedes was out earlier this month with his quadriceps injury. He also came off the DL and began a run of torrid hitting. In eight games since his return, he has batted .355 with 4 home runs and 8 RBIs.His leg tightened up on him last night, Collins said of Cespedes before Sundays first pitch. We thought we should give him a day following a night game, but hes already shown how important he is, and we cant afford to blow these guys out, especially at this time with the way were playing. Were going to give him another day today.Collins said this was the first time Cespedes, who is batting .295 with 26 home runs and 67 RBIs this season, mentioned his quad since returning.Walker has had back issues and has been doing extra preparation to stay in the lineup. Since July 27, he has hit .440 with 7 home runs and 15 RBIs.Collins said Walker had felt some discomfort in his back when the team was in San Francisco last weekend.I talked to him this morning, and he needs a lot of time to get it stretched and loosened up, Collins said, adding that Walker was available to pinch hit.

OXFORD, Miss. -- No. 19 Mississippi got exactly what it needed Saturday in a relatively boring, lopsided victory.Playing just five days after an emotional loss to Florida State, quarterback Chad Kelly threw for 219 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Rebels to a 38-13 victory over Wofford of the Football Championship Subdivision level.Ole Miss (1-1) didnt look tired despite the short turnaround, scoring on all four of its first-half drives to take a 24-3 halftime lead. The Rebels didnt need to punt until late in the third quarter when the game was well in hand.I thought our kids came out with an edge, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. Especially on offense.Kelly completed short touchdown throws in the first half to Markell Pack, D.K. Metcalf and Quincy Adeboyejo, and Gary Wunderlich made a 40-yard field goal as the Rebels methodically moved the ball against the overmatched Terriers.It was an efficient, mistake-free performance from Kelly, who threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in the Florida State loss. He completed 20 of 27 passes against Wofford.We were anxious to get that first win, Kelly said.The only bad news for the Rebels was when Metcalf, a 6-foot-4 freshman who has quickly earned a role as one of the teams top receivers, broke his left foot in the second quarter. He also caught a touchdown pass in the Florida State game.Freeze said he wasnt sure how much time Metcalf would miss, but its possible the injury could end his season.Ole Miss has already struggled with injuries this year. Starting cornerback Kendarius Webster and running back Eric Swinney both tore knee ligaments in the Florida State game and are done for the season.Ole Miss announced a crowd of 64,232, which is a stadium record. The Rebels spent about $60 million on offseason renovations to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, which included roughly 5,000 new seats after bowling in the north side of the stadium.Wofford (1-1) moved the ball effectively at times, butt couldnt find the end zone until the fourth quarter, when quarterback Brad Butler ran for a 17-yard touchdown.ddddddddddddSAVING PATTERSON?Freeze pulled a minor surprise on Saturday when he used redshirt freshman Jason Pellerin as the backup quarterback instead of true freshman Shea Patterson. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound Pellerin completed 2 of 3 passes for 23 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He also ran for a touchdown.Patterson was widely regarded as one of the nations top quarterback recruits last year, but Freeze left open the possibility that Patterson might redshirt this fall in order to save him for future seasons when Kelly, a senior, is no longer with the program.Hes certainly talented enough to play, Freeze said. But we discussed it this week, and playing him in mop-up duty is probably not the smartest thing at this juncture.QUOTABLEWofford coach Mike Ayres, who is in his 29th season leading the program, had a unique way of describing his teams growth so far this season: Were close. Were like that fat guy thats got one leg over the fence and hes close. Hes working to get that second leg over. Its tough, but its not quite there. Thats where we are. We didnt have a great day.THE TAKEAWAYWofford: The Terriers triple-option offense was decent, but finding the end zone was difficult against an SEC defense. Wofford has a 1-19 record against Football Bowl Subdivision teams.Ole Miss: The Rebels got what they needed -- an easy win. Now they can turn their attention to a marquee SEC game against Alabama in Oxford next weekend.UP NEXTWofford: The Terriers return home to face Johnson C. Smith.Ole Miss: The Rebels host Alabama after beating the Tide in each of the past two seasons.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .
