Mets SS Reyes leaves game with stiff hamstring

NEW YORK (AP) — Mets shortstop Jose Reyes has left a game against Atlanta because of stiffness in his left hamstring, the same spot that landed him on the disabled list last month.

Reyes, the NL batting leader, was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the second inning Sunday. It was unclear how he got hurt — possibly while running out a grounder in the first.

The four-time All-Star missed more than two weeks in July because of a strained left hamstring, the latest in a long line of leg injuries for the speedy switch-hitter.

The 28-year-old Reyes has been one of baseball’s best all-around players this year and he could be primed to cash in after the season, when he can become a free agent. Injury concerns are probably his biggest drawback.
