Floyd came out of Saturday night’s NL division playoff game after scoring from first on Shawn Green’s double in the third inning.

"I was thinking maybe I played my last game of the season," Floyd said, the Daily News reported.

Endy Chavez replaced Floyd in left field in the bottom of the inning. The Mets said Floyd left with a strained left Achilles’ tendon, was examined by a team doctor and would be re-evaluated after the game.

Floyd singled with two outs in the third and scored when Green’s drive hit the top of the left field fence over a leaping Marlon Anderson, giving the Mets a 4-0 lead over the Dodgers. New York entered with a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series.

Floyd singled to drive in a run in the first, when the Mets hit five straight two-out singles off Greg Maddux for a 3-0 lead.
