Shortstop Jose Reyes, who was recently diagnosed with an overactive thyroid, has been told to take it easy for a little while until his body recovers:
Jose Reyes Instructed To Rest For 2-8 Weeks
NEW YORK (AP)—All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes has been told to rest and refrain from athletic activity for 2-to-8 weeks until his thyroid levels normalize, another blow to the New York Mets before opening day.
Initially, Reyes thought he would be able to return very quickly, but while his is a curable condition, it will require that he remain by and large inactive until everything settles down. While it’s a broad timeline, as Reyes could recover in anything from two weeks to two months, even the best-case scenario would require that Reyes work himself back into game shape after resuming baseball-related activities, and the Mets aren’t optimistic that Reyes will be ready by Opening Day.
The 2010 season hasn’t even started yet, and already it’s looking like 2009’s doom and gloom has carried over. Check out Amazin Avenue for more.
