New York Mets infielder Jed Lowrie suffered a setback in his injury rehab, straining his hamstring while working to come back from a sprained left knee capsule.
Lowrie, 35, has yet to play for the Mets since signing a two-year, $20 million contract in January.
He was rehabbing at Triple-A Syracuse, where he is 4-for-24 with one homer and one RBI in six games.
The Mets were reportedly planning to activate the 2018 All-Star this week. Instead, he returned to the team facility in Port St. Lucie, Fla., and the Mets said Tuesday that he will be evaluated again in two weeks.
Lowrie hit .267 with a career-high 23 homers and 99 RBIs in 157 games with the Oakland A’s last season.
He has played 11 seasons with the Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros and A’s and has 104 homers, 509 RBIs and 1,043 hits in 1,109 games.
