Mets' Wilmer Flores: Unlikely to return during regular season

Flores (wrist) is unlikely to return during the regular season, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

Analysis:

He remains not close to swinging a bat after suffering a setback Wednesday. Flores first injured his right wrist in a plate collision in Atlanta two weeks ago and has been diagnosed with a bone bruise. He has since received two cortisone shots, and is unlikely to contribute to the Mets down the stretch. Look for T.J. Rivera and Kelly Johnson to continue to fill in at the keystone over the final nine days of the regular season.
