The Mets injury issues continued tonight, as word has come out that shortstop Jose Reyes has a torn hamstring. The plan currently is for the loudmouth shortstop to be relevaluated in the next few days in New York. Matthew Cerrone of Metsblog.com, reported the news about an hour ago. Yesterday, Jerry Manuel said he felt Reyes would be in the lineup next week for when the Phillies visit Citi Field. In the interim the Mets will use Wilson Valdez and Alex Cora at SS. The news comes on the heals of J.J. Putz announcing he has been having elbow pain, and will also be re-evaluated. He has bone spurs in his elbow, and some believe he will opt to have surgery on the elbow. The Mets were swept out of Pittsburgh today, losing their third straight in what was a rain-shortened series. The Mets just got CF Carlos Beltran back today. Carlos Delgado, Ryan Church, Angel Pagan, and Oliver Perez are all currently out.
Other news: The Phillies will not start Shane Victorino tonight, who left last night's game with a hip injury. He will be available to pinch hit. Jayson Werth will play CF, with Eric Bruntlett playing right.
Brett Myers has successful hip surgery today in New York by Dr. Brian Kelly. Myers will begin rehabbing the hip Saturday. The early prognosis has it possible for Myers to return in mid-September.
Feel free to leave your get well wishes for Jose in our comments section.
