| Player Notes |
| October 31, 2007 The Mets exercised Moises Alou's option for 2008 on Wednesday, according to Newsday. The option was for $7.5 million, although it was essentially a $6.5 million decision because of the $1 million buyout. Alou played in only 87 games this year due to a left quad injury, but he still hit .341 in 13 homers and 49 RBI. He'll be a risk/reward option next season. |
| September 20, 2007 Moises Alou was 3-for-4 Wednesday, returning to the lineup one day after leaving with tightness in his left quad. "That's Moises," Willie Randolph said in the New York Post. "He's a gamer. He wants to play." Alou said he probably would have sit out if they Mets weren't in a pennant race, though he also said the quad was feeling better. |
| September 19, 2007 Moises Alou left Tuesday's game in the fourth inning with tightness in his left quad. He's calling himself day-to-day, but keep in mind he's 41. |
| August 26, 2007 Moises Alou was given a routine day off Saturday, the AP reports. Alou, who turned 41 in July, has been one of New York's better hitters this month, with a .329 average and seven homers. |
| July 27, 2007 The Mets activated Moises Alou from the disabled list Friday night, according to the AP. He went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored. He went on the DL on May 17 with a strained left quad and missed 66 games. |
| July 26, 2007 Willie Randolph had no new update on Moises Alou (tendinitis in right shoulder), who could be activated from the DL any day, the AP reports. "Day to day means that when he comes in and feels like he's able to swing the bat and throw he'll be in the lineup," Randolph said. |
| July 25, 2007 Moises Alou's expected return from the disabled list was pushed back to the end of the week, after an MRI exam on Tuesday showed tendinitis in the outfielder's right shoulder, the AP reports. The 41-year-old Alou hurt himself Sunday taking a swing in a rehab game. "Actually, I'm pleased with the results. It could have been worse," Alou said. "I'm feeling a lot better today." |
| July 22, 2007 Moises Alou, on the DL with a strained left quad, is expected to be activated on Tuesday, according to the AP. He's been out since May 13 with the injury. |
| July 16, 2007 Moises Alou homered in his first rehab game Monday and said he is only one or two weeks away from returning to the majors, according to the AP. "It was nice to be out there batting," Alou said. "Right now, it's just about getting back into shape for play. My quad was not hurting me at all today. I'm almost 100 percent." |
| July 16, 2007 Moises Alou should begin a rehab assignment this week. GM Omar Minaya said the Mets were hoping that could happen as soon as Monday, but Minaya told the New York Daily News that he expects it to be "a little later." Alou is recovering from a strained left quadriceps and likely remains at least a week or two away from being activated from the disabled list. |
| July 1, 2007 Moises Alou will have an MRI taken of his strained left quadriceps on Monday. He hopes to be cleared to resume working out, according to the New York Daily News. Even if he's cleared to work out, it will probably be mid July before he comes off the disabled list. |
| June 22, 2007 Moises Alou has been out since May 12 with a left quadriceps injury, but his manager doesnt expect him back very soon. "I'm not looking for him any time soon," Willie Randolph told the Associated Press on Friday. |
| June 16, 2007 Moises Alou appears no closer to returning to action. He was examined this week by team doctor David Altchek, though the specific results weren't released, according to the New York Daily News. Keep Alou, who is sidelined by a strained left quadriceps, on your bench. |
| June 13, 2007 Moises Alou is undergoing further evaluation in New York this week. The club previously announced that he would head to Florida for rehab, but he's sticking in the Big Apple to undergo more testing on his sore left quad. He has no timetable for his return, Newsday reports. Alou has not played since May 13. |
| June 12, 2007 Moises Alou, who has been out since May 12 with a strained left quad, had an MRI exam in New York that revealed inflammation and soreness in his left quadriceps. "Nothing's better. I don't think that he's in a situation where he's going to be back anytime soon," manager Willie Randolph told the AP. |
| June 10, 2007 Moises Alou left the team Sunday morning to fly back home for an examination on his strained left quad. He will be examined on Monday and will likely make the next step of his comeback at the Mets' minor league facility in Florida, according to the AP. |
| June 7, 2007 Moises Alou is frustrated by his slow recovery from a strained left quadriceps, the AP reports. He had fluid drained from the knee and said it's doubtful he will be ready to play this weekend. "I wish I could tell you I feel awesome but I can't," Alou said before the game Wednesday. "I thought after taking the fluid it would be better. It is better, but not close to playing." Out since May 16, he's been itching to get back on the field. "I came here to play, not to be hurt. When you're hurt on a good team, you feel like you're in everybody's way." |
| June 5, 2007 Moises Alou had fluid drained from his injured quadriceps on Tuesday. He said he has no idea when he'll be ready for game action again, according to the AP. "We want to make sure that he's as close to 100 percent as he can be," manager Willie Randolph said. It appears unlikely that Alou will be ready to return when eligible on Sunday. |
| June 3, 2007 Moises Alou is getting close to 100 percent recovered from a strained left quad injury that's kept him out since May 17. Manager Willie Randolph hopes to have Alou back soon. "Guys like that, veteran guys, they let me know when they're ready to go," Randolph said in the AP. |
| May 31, 2007 Moises Alou has erased any potential timetables for his return. The veteran tells the Newark Star-Ledger that his strained left quad is not improving. He is no better than 65 percent at the moment. "All of a sudden, it's just not getting better," Alou admits. He has also been hindered by a sore right shoulder and a small ligament tear in his left knee this season. |
| May 30, 2007 Moises Alou, who is out with a strained left quad, tells the Newark Star-Ledger that he is about a week away from returning. |
| May 27, 2007 Moises Alou, who is out with a strained left quad, will not be ready to return from the disabled list on Tuesday when he's eligible. "The idea of putting me on the disabled list was to get me 100 percent," Alou told the AP. At this point, it's uncertain when Alou will be ready to return. |
| May 26, 2007 Moises Alou (left quad) might return early next week and is unlikely to go on a rehabilitation assignment, Omar Minaya told the AP. |
| May 17, 2007 The Mets placed Moises Alou on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday morning, MLB.com reports. Alou hasn't played since May 12 due to a strained left quad. He has also been dealing with a sore shoulder. |
| May 17, 2007 The Mets still haven't decided what to do with Moises Alou, who was not in the lineup for the fourth straight game Wednesday because of a strained left quadriceps, the AP reports. Willie Randolph said before the game that Alou felt a little better. "We'll see how he feels (Thursday)," Randolph said. |
| May 15, 2007 Moises Alou admitted on Monday that a trip to the disabled list might be the best thing. He is dealing with a strained left quad and a sore right shoulder. "I don't want to come back 75 percent," Alou told Newsday. "It's early, we're playing good, and I hope to get this one out of the way to allow me to play the rest of the year injury-free." |
| May 14, 2007 Moises Alou missed his second straight game Monday with a strained left quadriceps, according to the AP. It's likely that Alou will be placed on the disabled list, and the Mets are expected to make a decision within the next day or two. |
| May 14, 2007 Moises Alou said an MRI taken Saturday revealed blood in the injured area of his strained left quadriceps, according to Newsday. The Mets will wait a few days to see if he can avoid a trip to the disabled list, but Alou didn't sound very confident about that happening. "I'm not very optimistic," said Alou. "It's not a good feeling. Unfortunately, I had my knee that was bothering me, so I couldn't work on my leg for a couple of weeks." |
| May 13, 2007 Moises Alou sat on Sunday with a strained left quadriceps, and he could be headed to the disabled list, according to the AP. The Mets figure to make a decision on Alou's status within the next day or two. |
| May 13, 2007 Moises Alou was forced to exit yesterday's game after six innings due to a strained left quadriceps, according to Newsday. He immediately headed to a hospital for an MRI. The results should be made available today, so we should have a better idea if he'll require a trip to the disabled list. |
| May 7, 2007 Moises Alou was back in the lineup on Monday for the first time since Thursday. He'd been out with soreness in his left knee. |
| May 7, 2007 Moises Alou missed his third straight game Sunday to rest his left knee, according to the AP. Manager Willie Randolph said he expects Alou to return Monday night against the Giants. |

| April 26, 2007 Moises Alou was given a routine day off yesterday to rest up, according to the New York Daily News. Manager Willie Randolph said he won't make it a habit of resting Alou for day games that follow night games, though. |
