Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports that Scott Hairston will make around $1.1 million in his new contract with the Mets. Hairston made the same salary last season while batting .235/.303/.470 with seven homers, 24 RBI and a .773 OPS over 145 plate appearances. While the 31-year-old provides useful pop from the right side of the plate, he won't have much fantasy value on Terry Collins' bench.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Mets have re-signed Scott Hairston. Exact terms aren't yet available. Hairston, 31, batted .235/.303/.470 with seven homers, 24 RBI and a .773 OPS over 145 plate appearances in 2011 before suffering a season-ending oblique injury in late-August. He'll function as a reserve outfielder and right-handed bat off the bench again in 2012.

Scott Hairston (oblique) is unlikely to return this season. After feeling discomfort while doing drills Thursday, Hairston tried to exercise on an elliptical machine Friday but had to step off after less than a minute. "I haven't had a pain-free day yet," Hairston said. "I've got to wait until that happens, but there's only so much time left." If he's indeed finished, he'll end the year with a .235/.303/.470 batting line with seven homers over 145 plate appearances this season.

Scott Hairston felt lingering discomfort in the area of his strained oblique while doing drills Thursday. Hairston has been on the disabled list since late August and doesn't sound close to returning. He's likely to scale back his workouts until the discomfort dissipates.

Mets placed OF Scott Hairston on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 24, with a strained oblique. Hairston will undergo an MRI soon, at which point the Mets will have a better idea when he might return, but the possibility exits that he could be out for the year. He's batting .235/.303/.470 with seven homers and a .773 OPS over 145 plate appearances this season.

Scott Hairston (oblique) will be placed on the disabled list prior to Friday's game. The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but he is slated to undergo an MRI when the team returns home to New York. Hairston, 31, is batting .235/.303/.470 with seven homers and a .773 OPS over 145 plate appearances this season.

Scott Hairston is headed to the disabled list with a strained ribcage. Hairston suffered the injury in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies. With just over five weeks left in the season, it's possible this could be a season-ending injury for the outfielder, though the Mets haven't provided any word on how severe the ailment is.

Scott Hairston hit a pair of solo home runs in New York's loss to the Nationals on Sunday. He took Sean Burnett deep in the seventh before tying up a 2-1 game with a bomb off of Drew Storen in the ninth. A nice afternoon for the journeyman outfielder, but he's still a poor option in a majority of NL-only leagues.

Scott Hairston returned to action on Wednesday July 20.

Scott Hairston (shin) may be available to pinch-hit Tuesday night against the Cardinals. Hairston suffered a left shin contusion when he fouled a ball off his leg in the first inning Monday night. "It's the top of his foot, where the shin meets the foot," said Mets manager Terry Collins. "It's that meat part in there that's swelled up pretty good. He told me he could probably pinch-hit. Hopefully if he gets on he could continue to run." Consider him day-to-day right now.
