The Injury Bug Bites Again


Jose Reyes just left the Mets-Dodgers game in the third inning. Reyes appears to have re-injured the leg that caused him to miss five games on this road trip.


Reyes hit the ball between first and second. Orlando Hudson made a diving stop on the short OF grass, and threw Reyes out, who wasn't running at full speed, by a half step. Reyes appeared to pull up lame about 15 feet from the first base bag, and the last lunge towards the bad did him in.


Reyes limped back to the dugout, and sat dejectedly on the bench, before limping down the steps to the clubhouse. He wasn't in the field for the bottom half of the third.


At this writing, it is not know how bad the injury is, nor how much time he might miss. This could be a devastating loss...
******* UPDATE 11:27 PM ******
Just announced on SNY that right now they are saying that Reyes 'aggravated' his right calf. No diagnosis nor DL stint was given. Martinez replaced Reyes at SS.
