| News: Delgado, out since May 11 with a hip injury that required surgery, caught a few throws Thursday at first base during batting practice, the NY Newsday reports. |
| Analysis: Manager Jerry Manuel said on Wednesday that Delgado could return before the season ends, which was in contrast to what he said Sunday, when he thought Delgado was done for the year. Delgado wants to play and have, however brief, a reappearance at the end of the season to show potential suitors that he could still be an attractive free agent this winter. |
