Mets manager Terry Collins was released from a Milwaukee-area hospital and returned to New York on Monday afternoon.
Collins fell ill prior to Sunday’s game in Milwaukee and was transported to a hospital less than 30 minutes prior to first pitch against the Brewers.
Collins said he didn’t feel well and the club decided to have him checked out at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee.
Collins, 67, was examined by the Brewers’ team doctor prior to the decision to take him to the hospital.
He’s expected to be in uniform for Tuesday’s series opener against the Pirates at Citi Field in New York.
Collins, 67, left Miller Park about 30 minutes before first pitch on Sunday. He had complained of feeling ill, though the precise nature of his symptoms were undisclosed.
Collins released a text about his condition Monday and said he was OK.
The Mets said a doctor cleared Collins to return to the team for Tuesday night’s game after all test results were negative.
“He’s alert, fine,” Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said Sunday. “He just wasn’t feeling well before the game. So they’re going to have some tests run. That’s really all I have right now. …
“Afterward, he was feeling OK. We’re just being cautious here.”
Bench coach Dick Scott, an Ellsworth native, served as manager for Sunday’s game.
Collins is the oldest manager in the majors.
