Wilmer Flores started for a third straight game at third base on Friday. So, other than one game spent starting at shortstop for a resting Asdrubal Cabrera, Jose Reyes currently is the odd-man out on the left side of the infield.
That's the right decision. And Terry Collins said Reyes, whose action was limited to a pinch-hit opportunity in the eighth on Friday, understood as much when they chatted earlier in the afternoon.
"Right now one guy is swinging the bat good, one guy isn't, so I just thought it would be time to get Flo some at-bats and see what happens," Collins said.
