<p>PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Ike Davis shed his walking boot long enough to play catch on Wednesday with Lucas Duda, the Mets' similarly-hobbled first baseman with whom he is competing for a job. But neither player is ready for an imminent return to game action.</p><p>"I don't know if I'm day-to-day," Davis joked. "I could be day-to-years."</p><p>Davis, who has been nursing two sore calves since the early days of March, tested his legs Wednesday morning by doing every baseball activity other than running. But he did not sound optimistic about playing late this week, saying he plans to continue wearing a boot on his right foot away from the ballpark.</p><p>"I haven't moved on the ankle in a while, so this is different," Davis said. "There's not a lot of pain, though. It's just a little tight, I guess, but not painfully tight."</p><p><a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140312&content_id=69191646&notebook_id=69191648&vkey=notebook_nym&c_id=nym">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140312&content_id=69184684&notebook_id=69186112&vkey=notebook_stl&c_id=stl">Cardinals trying to get handle on replay</a> (MLB.com)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dCJPtuROTo0tVcMOsoQuRDKyDvyAM&authuser=0&ned=us">217 additional articles.</a></p>
