NEW YORK — Jose Reyes will
miss the All-Star game with a sore left side after leaving the New York
Mets' 4-0 loss to Atlanta.
The shortstop ranged far to his
right Saturday to field a seventh-inning grounder by Troy Glaus on the
outfield grass, then turned and made a long throw to first base for the
out.
Third baseman David Wright
immediately noticed that Reyes was ailing and summoned manager Jerry
Manuel from the dugout. Reyes confirmed the injury was to his left
side, which has been hurting for more than a week and has limited the
switch-hitter to batting from the right side.
Reyes plans to join his family
in Anaheim, Calif., for the All-Star game on Tuesday but will not play.
The Mets hope to have him back when they begin the second half at San
Francisco.
