Only in the first inning here at Citizens Bank Park, and there's good news and bad news to report. Paul Lo Duca and David Wright already have homered, and the Mets lead, 3-0. But the Mets look concerned about Jose Reyes, who appears to have some sort of problem with his right shoulder.
Reyes grabbed at the shoulder after fouling off a 1-and-1 pitch, and after getting checked out by manager Willie Randolph and trainer Ray Ramirez, he stayed in the game to slap a single up the middle. But as soon as he reached first base, Reyes called time again and motioned for Ramirez, who trotted out with Randolph for another look at the shortstop.
Again, Reyes stayed in, but after jogging around the bases on Lo Duca's homer -- and doing one of his stylish fist pumps with the catcher -- Reyes disappeared into the clubhouse. His status is uncertain at this point.
Update (4:17 p.m.): Reyes is now at shortstop. Crisis averted.
