Ruben Tejada was an infielder for the Mets from 2010-2015. In the 2015 National League Division Series against the Dodgers his leg was broken by a dirty slide by that creep Chase Utley. Sadly, after that time Ruben never played for the Mets. He briefly played for the Cardinals, Giants, and Orioles and was signed to a minor league contract to the Mets this season.
Last night Jeff McNeil injured his hamstring and was put on the 10-day injury list. Ruben Tejada was recalled from AAA Syracuse to take his place on the roster. He is in the starting lineup in the game at Atlanta. A little justice has been served with his return to the Mets. Let's hope he does well in his time back on the big club. In any event, he deserves a standing ovation when he returns to Citi Field since he literally took a hit for the team.
