Mets final announcement on Reyes (updated)

March 11, 2010

The Mets will announce early this afternoon the final results of Jose Reyes’ thyroid issue. Reyes is not expected at the complex today, but all signs have suggested he should be back doing baseball activities soon and that there’s no danger of Reyes’ season being affected.

UPDATE: Here’s the announcement …

The additional blood tests confirmed that Jose Reyes’s thyroid hormone blood levels are elevated and he is hyperthyroid. Mets Medical Director Dr. David Altchek last night spoke with Jose and his representatives. As prescribed by the doctors and specialists, Jose’s treatment plan is to rest, refrain from athletic activity and make changes in his diet. The doctors will monitor Jose’s thyroid levels through regular blood tests. Once Jose’s thyroid levels return to normal, he will be cleared to resume baseball activities.
