INF Jose Reyes (left rib cage) was a late scratch from the starting lineup Wednesday. Reyes was penciled in to play second base and bat leadoff but was replaced following batting practice. It would have been Reyes' first appearance in the leadoff spot since July 9. Fellow INF Wilmer Flores was also scratched with a left ribcage injury, which forced the Mets to start Asdrubal Cabrera at second base and give C Travis d'Arnaud his first professional start and appearance at third base. Mets manager Terry Collins said the club likely would recall at least one and maybe two infielders Thursday to safeguard itself against an extended absence for Reyes and/or Flores. Reyes is batting .223 with nine homers, 39 RBIs and a team-high 14 stolen bases in 113 games.

SS Jose Reyes left Sunday's game after being hit in the left arm by a pitch from Seattle's James Paxton in the fifth inning and was replaced by Asdrubal Cabrera. "He's real sore, it hit him right on the bone," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "We're going to have the X-rays checked by our doctors but hopefully it's negative."

SS Jose Reyes was 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBIs Wednesday night. He is batting .306 (37-for-121) over 34 games since June 16 with seven doubles, four triples, six homers, 19 RBIs and 16 runs scored.

SS Jose Reyes stole his 500th career base in the win over the Padres. Reyes joins the Marlin's Ichiro Suzuki as the only active players to reach that milestone.

SS Jose Reyes continued his blast from the past week Saturday night, when he went 2-for-4 with a pair of triples in the Mets' 6-5 win over the Athletics. Reyes tripled in the second, when he was stranded at third, before delivering another triple in the sixth, when he scored on a single by C Travis d'Arnaud. The two-triple game was the ninth of Reyes' career, his first since he achieved the feat for the Miami Marlins on Sept. 7, 2012 and his first as a member of the Mets since May 29, 2011.The latter game stood as the Mets' most recent two-triple game prior to Saturday. The only player with more multi-triple games than Reyes since 1950 is Hall of Famer Willie Mays (10). Reyes also utilized his speed on Monday, when he recorded a Little League homer against the St. Louis Cardinals by doubling and racing home on a pair of errors, and Thursday, when he beat out a walk-off infield RBI single in a 3-2 win over the Cardinals. He is batting .361 with three homers and nine RBIs in 16 games. Overall this season, Reyes is batting .231 with nine homers, 35 RBIs and a team-high 11 stolen bases.

SS Jose Reyes displayed his speed by legging out an infield hit on a sharply hit ground ball to first base with two outs in the ninth inning of Thursday's 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. It was the fourth career walk-off RBI for Reyes and the first since a game-winning single for the Toronto Blue Jays on Aug. 23, 2014 against the Tampa Bay Rays.

SS Jose Reyes moved closer to a milestone Saturday night, when he stole the 499th base of his career in the Mets' 8-3 win over the Rockies. Reyes, who ranks second among active players in steals, swiped stole third base in the third inning. With his next steal, he will become the 39th player in history to collect 500 thefts. The steal highlighted an impressive night for Reyes, who finished 2-for-4 with a solo homer. Reyes is batting .404 with three home runs and seven RBIs in his last 13 games to raise his overall average from .191 to .225. Reyes has nine home runs, 31 RBIs and a team-high 11 stolen bases in 85 games.

SS Jose Reyes is hitting .183 in his last 20 games. He hit a pair of home runs off Clayton Kershaw earlier this week to give him six on the season. With 1,415 hits, he is third on the Mets' all-time list, trailing Ed Kranepool (1,418) in second. He needs two stolen bases for 500, which would make one of just 39 players in baseball history with 500.

SS Jose Reyes has 1,414 career hits with the Mets and is third on the franchise's all-time list, just behind 1969 Miracle Mets star Ed Kranepool. He is two stolen bases shy of 500. Reyes has struggled at the plate, hitting .192 this season. He hit two of his six home runs against Clayton Kershaw in the first game of the Dodgers series.

SS Jose Reyes took LHP Clayton Kershaw deep for a solo home run in the third inning. It was Reyes' fifth home run of the season. The homer also allowed Reyes to move past Keith Hernandez for ninth on the club's all-time RBI list with his 469. It was the ninth career multi-home run game for Reyes.

3B Jose Reyes turned 34 on Sunday and was 1-for-3 with an intentional walk and a stolen base. He was also caught once. Reyes snapped a 0-for-27 streak with a hit on Saturday, but is batting just .186.

IF Jose Reyes did not start for a second straight game Saturday, when he entered as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning and did not come to bat in the Mets' 4-2 victory over the Pirates. Reyes, who flew out as a pinch hitter Friday, is hitless in his last 16 at-bats dating back to Sunday and could lose more playing time to IF Wilmer Flores, who is hitting .368 since May 1 and drew his second straight start Saturday, when he went 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Overall this season, Reyes is batting .191 with three homers, 18 RBIs and a team-high six stolen bases.

INF Jose Reyes (left ribcage) returned to the lineup Tuesday, when he went 1-for-5 with a run scored in the Mets' 9-3 win over the Padres. Reyes was a late scratch from the lineup Sunday and got two full days of rest thanks to the Mets being off on Monday. He is batting .205 with three homers, 15 RBIs and a team-high five stolen bases in 42 games this season.

IF Jose Reyes (left ribcage) was a late scratch from the lineup Sunday, when the Mets fell to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 12-5. Reyes said he tried convincing manager Terry Collins to let him play but that Collins wanted to exercise caution, especially given the injury-plagued nature of the Mets. Collins may have extra incentive to play it safe with Reyes, who missed three weeks with a left rib cage injury last season. The injury comes at an inopportune time for Reyes, who went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and a stolen base on Saturday night and is 8-for-24 in his last six games, a stretch in which he's registered three multi-hit games while playing his preferred position, shortstop, in place of injured SS Asdrubal Cabrera. Reyes is batting .205 with three homers, 15 RBIs and a team-high five stolen bases this season.

INF Jose Reyes recorded his 2,000th career hit Saturday night, when he finished 3-for-4 with a two-run single in the Mets' 7-5 win over the Angels. Reyes got the milestone hit out of the way early with an opposite-field single in the first inning. The scoreboard displayed news of his feat and Reyes doffed his cap to the crowd following a warm ovation. Reyes is the eighth active player to reach 2,000 hits and the second to do so this season after Yankees DH Matt Holliday. His 1,398 hits with the Mets rank third in team history behind 3B David Wright and former IB Ed Kranepool. Reyes singled and stole second base in the third, walked in the fifth and flew out in the seventh before delivering his two-RBI hit in the eighth to give the Mets a 7-2 lead. He is batting .205 this season with three homers, 15 RBIs and a team-high five stolen bases.

INF Jose Reyes made his first career appearance in the outfield Saturday, playing one inning at CF before moving to shortstop for the remainder of the game. Manager Terry Collins said he wanted to experiment with using Reyes in the outfield during spring trianing. Reyes had reported to camp expecting to fill a utility role for the Mets but became the starting third baseman when David Wright was lost to injury. Hot-hitting T.J. Rivera was moved from first to third when Lucas Duda came back from the DL.

INF Jose Reyes continued to heat up Saturday night, when he went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in the Mets' 11-3 win over the Marlins. Reyes, who had an RBI single in the first before singling and scoring in the seventh, has reached base in 12 straight games, a stretch in which he's had at least one hit in 11 games and multiple hits in five games. He has hit .341 (15-for-44) with three homers and 11 RBIs in the last 12 games -- Reyes had no homers or RBIs in his first 17 games -- to lift his overall batting average from .097 to .198.

3B Jose Reyes, who had a solo home run Monday, has hit safely in seven straight games. During that span, Reyes is batting .370 (10-for-27) with three home runs, five RBIs and seven runs.

3B Jose Reyes may have hit rock bottom Saturday, when he was out of the starting lineup despite entering the game 6-for-13 against the Nationals LHP Gio Gonzalez. Reyes entered as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning and drew a walk against Gonzalez. He remained in the game at third base and flew out in the eighth, which dropped his batting average this season to .095. Manager Terry Collins said before the game the day off was likely the start of a multi-game mental health break for Reyes, who has already been dropped from first to seventh in the batting order. Reyes has no RBIs and one stolen base in 18 games.

3B Jose Reyes continued to struggle Tuesday, when he went 1-for-4 at the plate and made a costly error in the eighth inning of the Mets' 6-2, 10-inning loss to the Phillies. Reyes, who switched to third base last year after spending most of his first 13 big league seasons at shortstop, helped the Phillies tie the game in the top of the eighth, when he dropped a potential inning-ending pop-up by SS Freddy Galvis. the error allowed C Cameron Rupp to advance from first to third and Rupp scored when PH Andres Blanco hit a ground-rule double. Reyes is having an even worse time at the plate, where he is batting .100 (5-for-50) with 14 strikeouts. Manager Terry Collins has already dropped Reyes from first in the order to seventh but said Tuesday night that Reyes "has earned the right to try and work his way out of it."
