MILWAUKEE — Mets Manager Terry Collins is staying overnight in a hospital in Milwaukee after falling ill and missing New York’s series finale against the Brewers.
Assistant general manager John Ricco said Collins became sick about 45 minutes before Sunday’s game. He had no specifics on Collins’ symptoms.
Collins was accompanied by trainer Ray Ramirez to Froedtert Hospital in nearby Wauwatosa.
Ricco says there wasn’t a high level of concern about Collins’ condition, adding that Collins could be released Monday, when the Mets have an off day.
Collins watched the 5-3 loss to Milwaukee from the hospital.
Ricco says: “He was probably a bit agitated. But, other than that, he was feeling fine.”
HOME RUN DERBY: Cubs Manager Joe Maddon is intrigued about having pitchers, including Chicago ace Jake Arrieta, compete in the All-Star Home Run Derby.
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner has said he would like to participate in the July 11 event at San Diego.
Following his 8-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night, Arrieta said he would want to match home-run power with Bumgarner.
“If he’s in it, I want to be in it,” Arrieta said after having two hits in the win.
Arrieta said swinging for the fences in the All-Star spotlight “would probably be the most adrenalin I would ever have.”
Maddon said Sunday he would not be worried about Arrieta getting hurt but stopped short of endorsing the idea on behalf of the team.
ANGELS: Mike Trout left the game in the eighth inning because of a bruised right thumb after getting hit by a pitch from Cleveland reliever Tommy Hunter. X-rays showed no broken bones for the 2014 AL MVP, and he hopes to play Monday.
CUBS: Chicago claimed right-hander R.J. Alvarez off waivers from Oakland. Alvarez, who has been recovering from surgery on March 29 to remove bone chips from his right elbow, was assigned to Double-A Tennessee.
INDIANS: Third baseman Juan Uribe left the Indians’ game against Los Angeles on a cart after a hard-hit grounder left him with a testicular contusion.
Blue Jays: Outfielder Jose Bautista (right thigh) was held out of the lineup for a third straight game. Manager John Gibbons said Bautista will likely return Monday as the DH.
Astros: Shortstop Carlos Correa missed a third straight game because of a sprained left ankle.
