Jose Reyes set to rejoin Mets
NEW YORK – Jose Reyes is set to rejoin the New York Mets for Tuesday night’s game against the Miami Marlins, in his return to the major leagues following a domestic violence suspension.
After Monday’s 8-6 comeback win over Miami, the Mets said Reyes was headed to New York following a minor league assignment with Double-A Binghamton. The 33-year-old infielder, a four-time All-Star shortstop who played for the Mets from 2003-11, hit .176 (6 for 34) during 11 games in the minors that began with two for Class A Brooklyn.
Reyes has shifted to third base in the minors and is likely to play there with New York. Wilmer Flores has been playing third in the absence of captain David Wright, who is probably out for the season following neck surgery.
