Mets' Wigginton hospitalized after fainting spell

According to the Associated Press:

NEW YORK -- Mets third baseman Ty Wigginton was hospitalized after fainting at home and feeling dizzy at the ballpark.

Wigginton was in NYU Medical Center after complaining during Wednesday night's game against Montreal.

He is expected to miss New York's road trip to Chicago, Los Angeles and San Diego, and it's likely that he will be placed on the 15-day disabled list.

"He looked pale and weak when he came to the ballpark and then he had dizzy spells during the game," manager Art Howe said.

Wigginton is batting .188 with two home runs and nine RBI.

Wigginton will be the third everyday Mets player to go on the 15-day DL. Left fielder Cliff Floyd was placed on DL April 12 with a strained right quadriceps. He was hurt while legging out a single in that day's game against Montreal. Second baseman Jose Reyes started the season on the DL due to a strained right hamstring.

The Mets have Ricky Gutierrez at third today, but you have to figure that Todd Zeile will see the majority of the playing time at third in Wiggy's absence.

Best wishes to Ty for a speedy recovery.
