The Mets have announced they activated SS Jose Reyes from the DL while promoting OF Travis Taijeron and optioning RHP Kevin McGowan.
Manager Terry Collins said that Reyes was going to be an emergency outfielder for the team after Michael Conforto went on the DL. Now with Cespedes making a trip to the DL, Reyes may have to fill the void.
"Yeah, I think it's important that he does, just to protect us," Collins said about Reyes taking fly balls. "Again, we're tyring to maximize the versatility of all our players.
