SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Toronto shortstop Jose Reyes is eager to get to extended spring training soon and start playing in games to test his sprained left ankle.
On the 60-day disabled list with an injury that is expected to take three months to heal, Reyes is doing more each day with the hopes of beginning a rehab assignment in a couple of weeks. He now has a brace he plans to wear for the remainder of his career to stabilize the troublesome ankle.
Reyes was injured sliding into second base in an April 12 game at Kansas City.
Acquired from Miami in a 12-player trade last November, the four-time All-Star is batting .395 with one home run and five RBIs. He hopes to be able to help the Blue Jays immediately once back.
