Manager Terry Collins was released from a Milwaukee hospital Monday after completing an overnight stay for precautionary tests.
Collins, 67, got a clean bill of health and all his tests came back negative, the team announced.
He took a flight back to New York and will return to the dugout on Tuesday when the Mets open a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Citi Field.
Previous Report – June 12
Manager Terry Collins will remain hospitalized overnight in Milwaukee and will not fly with the team back to New York, assistant general manager John Ricco told reporters following the Mets’ 5-3 loss to the Brewers.
“They’re running a series of tests,” Ricco said. “He’s going to stay here overnight for observation and continue testing. Really can’t say anything more because that’s all I have.”
Ricco did not discuss the nature of Collins’ condition, but said he was alert and fine before heading to the hospital.
“He just said he wasn’t feeling well,” Ricco said. “I wasn’t with him that much and then he had the doctor and the EMT, so I don’t have any details on really what was going on. But I do know they obviously wanted to take a look at him in the hospital, and that’s what they did.”
