PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — With Asdrubal Cabrera unlikely to be ready for Opening Day because of a knee injury, shortstop prospect Matt Reynolds has a chance to make his major-league debut when the season opens on April 3.
Reynolds has never spent a regular-season day in the majors. But he was on the Mets’ roster for Games 3-5 of the NLDS against the Dodgers and the Mets’ NLCS sweep of the Cubs after Chase Utley broke Ruben Tejada’s leg.
Reynolds didn’t get into any postseason games and was replaced on the World Series roster by Juan Uribe, who returned from a chest injury.
