FILE - This Feb. 25, 2010, file photo shows New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes during spring training in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Reyes is flying to New York for tests after doctors in Florida discovered a thyroid imbalance. The team said Friday, march 5, 2010, that Reyes will undergo further tests on Monday, and it could take up to 48 after for doctors to receive the results.

Mets shortstop Jose Reyes has an overactive thyroid and is expected to remain in New York while the results of additional blood tests are used to determine his treatment. Doctors cleared Reyes to play Friday after he took a blood test to follow one conducted during his physical. But team doctors in New York wanted to take a closer look at the speedster and pulled him out of pregame stretching.

Houston Astros Pedro Feliz(notes), right, his congratulated by teammate Geoff Blum(notes) who scored on his two-run, fourth inning homer in the spring training baseball game with the New York Mets in Port St. Lucie, Fla. Tuesday, March 9, 2010.

Johan Santana struggled in his first game since August, allowing four runs on six hits in 1 2-3 innings, and the Houston Astros beat the New York Mets 8-4 on Tuesday. Kaz Matsui hit a solo homer for the first of four straight hits in the first inning off Santana, who struck out one and walked one. The left-hander made it through the short outing with no setbacks as he continues to build strength…
