Reyes expected back on Saturday

Barring unexpected complications, Jose Reyes will be in the Mets’ lineup Saturday for their home game against the Nationals. The plan is for Reyes to play one more minor league game Thursday in Port St. Lucie, Fla., then travel to New York, where he will join the team Friday.

If Reyes does play Saturday, it will be his first game since May 20 of last year.

I really can’t wait to see Reyes take the field again.  I’m sure he will be met with lots and lots of cheers from the Citi Field crowd.

It’s been too long, Jose.  Too long.
