New York Mets minor-leaguer Tim Tebow was pulled from the Scottsdale Scorpions' Arizona Fall League game in the fourth inning Monday after irritating his right knee on an attempted steal, the team told Adam Rubin of ESPN. He's considered day to day.

Tebow, appearing in his 10th game with Scottsdale, slid awkwardly into second base as he tried to swipe the bag off Peoria Javelinas left-hander Brad Wieck, and popped up holding his right leg after being thrown out. He didn't take his position in left field in the top of the fifth, getting replaced by Philadelphia Phillies prospect Aaron Brown.

Prior to Monday's game, Tebow - the former NFL quarterback who spent the weekend breaking down SEC football for ESPN - had hit .125/.176/.156 with 12 strikeouts in nine contests with the Scorpions, putting up the third-lowest OPS (.333) in the Fall League.
