PORT ST. LUCIE — Ike Davis showed up Monday with a walking boot on his right foot, an alarming development for the injury-prone Mets first baseman, though Davis insisted his calf strain had not gotten more serious.
"It's just to relieve stress," Davis said. "I was hoping it would go away in a couple of days."
Instead, he's been out a week and still doesn't know when he'll return to the field. Davis initially felt tightness in both calves during a weight room session.
"It's the same thing: I'm in a walking boot and I've got no answers, period, of when I'm gonna be back on the field," Davis said.
Terry Collins had wanted Davis to get 100 at-bats this spring after his disastrous season a year ago. On Sunday, the manager called that a "pipe dream," and Davis has revised his expectations.
"Hopefully I'll come back and get at least two weeks of games in before the season starts," Davis said. "I can still get a lot of at-bats. If I get two weeks, I can get 10 at-bats [a day] on the minor league side, so it's not a big issue."
Davis also joked he's gotten plenty of work during previous springs and then gotten off to horrendous starts in the regular season, so "this might help."
The last time Davis spent time in a boot was 2011, when he suffered a bone bruise after colliding with David Wright as they went after a popup in May. Davis didn't play again that season.
