Former major league outfielder Lenny Dykstra had a stroke this week and is recovering at a Los Angeles hospital, the New York Post reported Thursday.

The Post reported that Darryl Strawberry and Kevin Mitchell, teammates of Dykstra on the New York Mets, said Dykstra was in good spirits and set to undergo further evaluation at UCLA Medical Center.

The former players said Dykstra had been moved out of intensive care. Mitchell told the Post that Dykstra would likely be hospitalized into next week.

“He’s laying down, but he is being Lenny,” Mitchell told the Post. “We get to an age now where we have got to take care of ourselves. I told him he has to take more care of himself. You can’t let stress bother you. He’s been through a lot. I love him with all my heart.”

Hope for a speedy recovery.

Not his broadcasting partner Keith Hernandez. Not Darryl Strawberry or Dwight Gooden or Kevin Mitchell. Not Oil Can Boyd. Not Wally Backman (who had to be right behind Dykstra as he was 2nd in the lineup that day). Not any former Red Sox or even a front-seat Sox fan who attended Game 3. No one.
