Jose Reyes To Make Season Debut Verse Nats Today; Will Start

Mets All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes is set to make his season debut today at home against the Nationals, according to USA Today. Reyes, who hasn’t played in a regular season game since May 20 of last season, was healthy to begin the spring but was then diagnosed with an overactive thyroid midway through spring training. Reyes brings some much needed speed and offense to a 2-2 Mets club who have been playing with a middle infield combination of rookie Ruben Tejada, Alex Cora, and Luis Castillo. The Nationals will be throwing John Lannan for today’s afternoon game.
