Mets' Jose Reyes: Benched for Thursday's game
Reyes is not in the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Marlins, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.
Analysis:
There had been rumblings Reyes could be poised for trip to the bench amid his freezing-cold start to the year (.054/.079/.081). The Mets will be hoping this day off will help their Opening Day third baseman snap out of his early-season funk. If not, his playing time could start to dip significantly, especially if David Wright (shoulder) is able to return soon.
