Looks like the Chavez injury is worse than first thought. ] Bad news on Endy injury For the first time, the Mets acknowledged the serious nature of Endy Chavez's hamstring strain. Chavez has been on the DL since June 7 and is not on the verge of returning soon. "I don't think Endy's that close," manager Willie Randolph said. "I'm just going to say that instead of saying he's going to be back in a week or so. I think he must have damaged his hamstring a lot more than originally thought, obviously, because it's been a while. "If it's past six weeks, it's not just a strain or a mild pull. It's more severe than that."
