Mets manager Mickey Callaway’s job was believed to be on the line during this past weekend’s three-game series against the Marlins. The now 20-25 Mets were swept by the now 13-31 Marlins.

The Mets’ front office, including GM Brodie Van Wagenen, called a meeting today to inform his players and coaches that he still supports Callaway as manager, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. According to Thosar, Callaway has the Mets’ support for “the time being and for many weeks to come.”

That wasn’t the only news revealed at the press conference. We’ll have a post on that coming up shortly.

NEW YORK — Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm is out of the starting lineup for the second time in three games because of left hamstring tightness.

Bohm had an MRI and the Phillies were awaiting the results. Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said it was too soon to tell if Bohm might land on the injured list.

Bohm sat out the loss in Atlanta because of the same issue then Philadelphia was off.

Edmundo Sosa was set to start at third against the New York Mets, batting ninth.

Thomson said Bohm felt discomfort after fielding a slow roller. He played the entire game and went 0 for 3 in a 2-0 loss to the Mets.

Bohm is batting .265 with six homers and a team-high 37 RBIs this season. He has a .724 OPS.
