CF Beltran Out Of Mets' Lineup With Stomach Virus

NEW YORK (CBS) ― Carlos Beltran is out of the New York Mets' lineup due to a stomach virus.

The All-Star center fielder was lifted late in Saturday's game against Florida because he wasn't feeling well. Beltran was still ailing Sunday, and Angel Pagan was set to start in center in the finale of a three-game series.

Marlins infielder Wes Helms also felt ill and was not in the lineup. Manager Fredi Gonzalez said he was to be examined by a doctor.

Beltran began the day second in the NL with a .352 batting average. He had six homers and a team-high 31 RBIs.

The Mets are also missing injured regulars Jose Reyes (right calf), Carlos Delgado (right hip) and Ryan Church (hamstring). Reyes was slated to head to the team's complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla., on Sunday for rehabilitation.

Beltran was born on April 24, 1977.
