Kevin Burkhardt of SportsNet New York is reporting that Mets shortstop Jose Reyes’ season could be over after flying back to the Big Apple on Tuesday to have team doctors examine his hamstring injury.
This is when you know Reyes’ season is over – he flew back to NY today to have Mets team doctors re-examine him for right leg discomfort.
The Mets have to shut this kid down for the rest of the season. If he needs surgery, it’s better to do it now than to wait hoping that Reyes can come back and the Mets can put together a feeble comeback.
What happens if he rushes back onto the field and winds up hurting his leg even more than it was? Reyes is a big part of the Mets’ future and while the situation must be frustrating to everyone involved, risking a bigger injury just isn’t worth it with New York currently sitting in fourth place in the NL East and 10 games back of the Phillies.
