Reyes said “Everything went good,” “I feel happy about it. I was able to move around a little bit in the field with no problem. Hopefully, I’m playing (for the Mets on Tuesday).”

Before Monday’s game, Reyes posed for pictures and signed autographs — for his new teammates.

Reyes said “I got a chance to talk to a lot of them,” “It was a lot of fun. I bought them dinner.”

Prior to Monday’s game Reyes had also posed pictures and signed autographs for his new teammates. Later on he got down to business. Reyes became eligible to come off from the DL list on Monday but the Mets were cautions about putting him into play on minor league rehab games.

It didn’t take long for everyone to find out.

Reyes said “I’ve been running the last five or six days and doing a lot of leg testing,” “So far, so good. I didn’t worry about anything, I just want to play the game.”
