PHOENIX -- Juan Lagares told The Star-Ledger that he will need to 1-2 weeks to recuperate from his pulled hamstring. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday.

"It's not that bad," Lagares said.

Lagares said that he received his MRI results today and met with team trainer Ray Ramirez. He will start undergoing treatment.

“I feel better now,” he said.

The Mets wanted to be cautious with Lagares, who suffered the injury while running out a ball Monday night.

Said Terry Collins Tuesday: “That’s what I told him this morning when I talked to him. I said we have to be careful because if you’re not sure how to take care of this and the way he plays defense — which is all out effort — you’re talking 4-6 weeks as opposed to maybe two weeks.”
