PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) New York Mets shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera has a strained patella tendon in his left knee and will be sidelined for at least two weeks.

He is scheduled to fly to New York on Friday to receive a platelet rich plasma injection.

Cabrera was injured in the first inning of Thursday's spring training game while he was running from first to second base and decided at the last second not to slide. He was taken out of the game a few pitches later.

He had an MRI on Thursday in Port St. Lucie.

Cabrera signed an $18.5 million, two-year deal with the Mets during the offseason as a free agent. Wilmer Flores and Ruben Tejada provide depth at shortstop.
