    Former New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Lenny Dykstra posted $150,000 bond Wednesday in a federal case where he's accused of embezzling money from a bankruptcy estate.

    A disheveled and handcuffed Dykstra appeared in a white prison jumpsuit after spending nearly a week in custody. U.S. Magistrate Judge Carla Woehrle set bond and conditions for his release that include surrendering his passport and staying away from people involved in his bankruptcy case. Dykstra, 48, is set to return to court May 16, when he is expected to enter a not guilty plea to one count of bankruptcy fraud, his defense attorney, Mark Werksman, said.

    Dykstra faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
