Reyes sidelined until thyroid level is normal
Jose Reyes - SS - New York Mets
March 11, 2010 - 12:30 PM ET

The Mets announced that Jose Reyes will be cleared to resume baseball activities once his thyroid levels return to normal.

Additional blood tests confirmed that Reyes' hormone blood levels are elevated and he is hyperthyroid. The plan is for Reyes plan to rest, refrain from athletic activity and make changes in his diet. Doctors will monitor the shortstop's thyroid levels through regular blood tests. Once he returns to stable levels, he will be able to resume his preparation for the new season. It's very possible that this is only a temporary condition.
