Reyes cleared to rejoin Mets at Florida training camp
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shortstop Jose Reyes is expected to rejoin the New York Mets at their Florida training camp on Wednesday and begin workouts now that his elevated thyroid levels have normalized, the team said on Tuesday.
The Mets said Reyes, 26, had been cleared to resume baseball activities, giving the two-times All-Star a remote chance to be ready for Opening Day on April 5.
When it was announced on March 11 that Reyes, who has four times stolen more than 50 bases in a season, would be shut down because of his condition, he was expected to be sidelined between two and eight weeks.
