If you built your fantasy baseball team around the New York Mets, you’re likely sporting a poor record right about now. With Jose Reyes, Carlos Delgado and Carlos Beltran being injured, the Mets seem destined to complete another disappointing season.
However, as we head into the All-Star break, the Mets have gotten some good news regarding Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado.
Reyes has a right leg injury but he recently was able to get out on the field and perform agility drills in front of manager Jerry Manuel.
Said Manuel: “It was very encouraging to watch him move as freely as he was moving and to be able to not have a noticeable limp or anything.”
Delgado was also able to perform agility drills in addition to batting practice. However, the burly first baseman is further away from returning to the field after undergoing hip surgery. Manuel was quick to limit his enthusiasm about Delgado’s progress.
Said Manuel: “It never really bothered him to hit. And I think he’s still in that same place.”
Keep an eye on the progress made by Reyes and Delgado. Reyes could be back in a couple weeks, while Delgado is probably a month away from returning.
