Lastings Milledge is expected to be promoted today and return to the Mets for the first time in three months.
Milledge, who had three at-bats with the Mets in April before being demoted, has been playing minor-league
rehab games, coming back from a sprained ligament in his right foot. The 22-yearold outfielder could become
the everyday left fielder for now, with Moises Alou, Endy Chavez and Carlos Gomez all on the disabled list.
In 19 minor-league games this season, which range from low A-ball to Triple-A, Milledge hit .342 with four homers, 13 RBIs and six steals in 73 at-bats.

Coming into tonight, the Mets? bullpen is on a fantastic streak. The relievers haven?t allowed an earned run in 19 straight innings, a span of four-plus games, and have given up a mere eight hits.
