Reyes has a thyroid problem?

Jose Reyes has once again been scratched from the Mets lineup and is en route to New York for tests.

According to Adam Rubin, Reyes may have an out of balance thyroid.

It’s worrisome that Reyes has yet another problem, but if it is a thyroid issue, that is usually easily rectified.  A pill treatment can usually solve most hyper- or hypothyroid issues.

I actually just had my thyroid tested, too.  It involves some (more) bloodwork for Reyes to test the levels in his blood and an ultrasound to see if the thyroid gland is swollen or undersized.

Not encouraging news that Reyes is out once again, but if it is a thyroid issue, the Mets and their fans shouldn’t be too worried.
