FEELING BETTER

Terry Collins is expected back on the bench when his Mets host the Pirates in a matchup of 2015 NL playoff teams. The 67-year-old Collins, the oldest manager in the majors, was hospitalized in Milwaukee last weekend. He felt sick before Sunday’s loss to the Brewers and was held overnight at Froedtert Hospital in nearby Wauwatosa. The Mets said Monday tests on Collins were negative and he was cleared to fly home.
