VERO BEACH — The injuries just keep on coming for the Mets.

Backup second baseman Ruben Gotay became the latest casualty, twisting his right ankle on a slide at home in the ninth inning of the Mets’ 6-5 win here today over the Dodgers.

Gotay, who has been getting a lot of playing time at second while Luis Castillo rehabs from knee surgery, was limping badly in the clubhouse afterward.

Gotay said he thinks it was only a low ankle sprain and expects to miss just a few days. A more precise diagnosis will come tomorrow, when Gotay is examined in Port St. Lucie.
