Read: Surgery Recommended for Reyes

Jon Heyman, in a report for CNNSI.com, says that surgery has been recommended to repair Jose Reyes‘ torn hamstring tendon by one doctor.

Reyes will be learning in the next couple of days whether a second opinion calls for surgery.

According to Heyman, the day before he tore the tendon he was feeling confident that he would be able to play one more game this season, and he might have pushed himself too hard in trying to come back.

…i’m not too clear on why Jose would be trying to come back to play in one game down the stretch, other than to prove to people that he is healthy, but one game doesn’t do that for me…but something also has to be said about the fact that the Mets medical staff didn’t just shut him down which could have led to this worsened condition…

…that said, if he was working to come back at the end, it shows me that he has a strong work ethic and that he was disappointed in what happened this year…
