Mets considering Reyes as possible OF option

MILWAUKEE -- With Lucas Duda back from the disabled list and T.J. Rivera continuing to swing a hot bat, Jose Reyes was the odd man out of the Mets' lineup for the second consecutive game Saturday.

Reyes came to Spring Training expecting to serve as a utility player, but plans quickly changed when David Wright went down with a cervical disk herniation in his back. The 34-year-old Reyes became the starter in his stead.

While Duda was out with a hyperextended left elbow, however, Rivera hit his way into the Mets' lineup more often than not.
