Den Dekker received good news as X-rays on his left hand were negative, revealing just a bruise after he was hit by a pitch there during Tuesday's game, MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reports.

He should be considered day-to-day for the time being, but shouldn't miss much time as there's no fracture. Kirk Nieuwenhuis would likely get the start in left field if den Dekker needs some time off.

Den Dekker is undergoing X-Rays on his left wrist, which was hit by a Yohan Flande fastball in the seventh inning Tuesday.

With Juan Lagares on the DL, Mets manager Terry Collins put den Dekker in the leadoff spot Monday.
