Reyes signs with the Mets

The New York Mets have signed shortstop Jose Reyes to a minor league contract.
Reyes, 33, played primarily at shortstop for the Mets from 2003 to 2011, but may be used in a utility role in his reunion with the team.
Reyes was cut by Colorado after serving a 59-day suspension for violating Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy. He became a free agent Saturday. The Rockies are responsible for the $39 million remaining on his contract, minus the prorated share of the $507,500 major league minimum to be paid by the Mets.

Right-hander Colby Lewis was put on the disabled list by the Texas Rangers because of a strained lateral muscle that will keep him from throwing for at least four weeks. Lewis left his start Tuesday against Cincinnati after five innings because of cramping in his right arm.
The Detroit Tigers have been credited with an extra run from the last play of Friday night’s loss to Cleveland, making the score 7-5.
