Reyes set for Thursday surgery
NEW YORK -- Mets shortstop Jose Reyes will undergo surgery on his injured right leg on Thursday in Dallas.
Reyes is scheduled for a cleanup of some scar tissue remaining from a torn hamstring tendon behind his right knee. The Mets have said Reyes will not need an operation to repair his torn right hamstring.
Reyes batted .279 with two homers, 15 RBIs and 11 steals in 36 games this season. He was one of several key players who got hurt as the Mets slipped to a 70-92 record and fourth-place finish in the NL East.
The Mets said Wednesday that Dr. Daniel E. Cooper will perform Reyes' surgery.
