Injury Update: No timetable for Reyes, Pagan coming back

According to the TCPalm.com, Jose Reyes has been in St.Lucie working out.

Reyes arrived Wednesday and has been taking batting and fielding practice, and was seen jogging on the team’s training facility backfields. He appeared to be in good spirits Thursday, sticking around to chat with Gulf Coast League Mets manager Julio Franco — and others — after his workout.

Reyes, 26, has not played for New York since May 20, when he took himself out of a game in Los Angeles after aggravating a right calf injury. He then tore a hamstring tendon during an extended spring training game here on June 3 and following that setback he returned to New York.

Mets vice president of media relations, Jay Horwitz said Thursday “there is no timetable” on how long Reyes will remain here or when he will be ready to play in a game. Reyes told the New York Times on Saturday he was still “a long way” from running at full speed.

Meanwhile, outfielder Angel Pagan, who is recovering from a right groin injury, is getting closer to his return from the disabled list. Pagan said he is going through a series of tests to determine if he can be cleared to begin a rehab assignment with either the Gulf Coast League or St. Lucie Mets.

Pagan was batting .333 in 42 at-bats before his latest injury. He missed most of last season with a torn labrum in his left shoulder and started this season on the disabled list after undergoing surgery to remove a right elbow bone spur.

“I feel like a million bucks,” Pagan said Thursday. “I’ve been working out great, and I feel better than the first time when I got hurt (and came back). I’m very positive I will stay healthy this time.”
