Mets' Neil Walker: Out of lineup Sunday with back pain
Walker (back) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Marc Carig of Newsday reports.
Analysis:
Because he experienced back pain after Saturday's contest, Walker will be replaced by Kelly Johnson at second base. Walker has been dealing with back problems recently, so it's likely that the Mets will proceed with caution and not rush his return. Until further notice, Walker should be considered day-to-day.
