Jose Reyes did light running yesterday, and told reporters, though he is willing to play at less than 100 percent, he is not yet close to being ready.

…from what i can gather, and this makes no sense, the Mets will likely go as-is and then decide Friday if reyes should go on the disabled list… how does this make any sense… ugh… so, let’s assume reyes goes on the DL on Friday, a) this means he will have missed 12 of the team’s last 15 games, then b) since the move can be retro-active to May 20, he will not be eligible to return until around June 4, three weeks after the initial injury, which apparently occurred off field, by the way, on route to San Francisco…

In the New York Post, Joel Sherman writes, “Omar Minaya needs to go find a shortstop, and that has as much to do with Alex Cora as Jose Reyes.”

Last night on SNY, Kevin Burkhardt said Cora will visit a doctor today, and if it is determined he will not need surgery on his thumb, Cora could return much sooner than expected.

Meanwhile, Ramon Martinez, who missed time in Boston due to back pain, did his best to be in the starting lineup, knowing the team needed a shortstop.

Martinez has just two hits in 26 at bats this season.

In a post to his blog for the Daily News, Adam Rubin reports, “The Mets had brought infielder Jonathan Malo to New York as a precaution in case Martinez couldn’t go, but he never was activated.”
