Jose Reyes with a bat and glove in his hand? Yes, please.

The image above comes via Jose’s Instagram today, after last night he tweeted that he’s #comingsoon.

Of course, he can’t come that soon– he’s on the 60-day DL dating back to April 12th– but as I was quickly told when I pointed that out on Twitter, June 11th is a whole lot better than “around the All-Star Break,” as we’d originally been hearing. Which isn’t to say that there’s a new diagnosis or anything, but Jose certainly seems to feel that things are going very well with his recovery.

The Google translation of the caption for the photo above says it all, I think…

Yesterday on Prime Time Sports, Alex Anthopoulos– according to a tweet from Bluebird Banter’s @Minor_Leaguer– said that Jose Reyes is currently in a walking boot, but that he should be out by mid-May, and that it “wouldn’t surprise” him to see the shortstop back by the end of June.

Today, while I suspect only temporarily out of the walking boot (though I actually don’t know, to be perfectly honest), Reyes stood on his own two feet, under his own power– and then showed the world via Twitter and Instagram, as you can see above.

On the Instagram post, he shared his thoughts on the humbling process of recovery:

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING!

As I’m trying to wrap up the non-story on Jose Bautista sitting (back spasms) and Casper Wells being D’d FA, we have the following tweet from Danny Knobler– The Knobler!– of CBS Sports:

Better news today for Jose Reyes, who could be back in 8 weeks, rather than the 3 months the Jays first feared. cbsprt.co/ZwtQIJ

REJOICE!

This comes on the heels of Reyes announcing on Instagram “Next stop Toronto✈✈✈. Good news my people … #happy#azul#blue #jaysnation#”.

Yeah, I know that a week ago the thought of being without Reyes for “only” eight weeks wouldn’t have been such cause for joy, but holy… after watching the way that ankle bent…

I’m sure we’re all still not fully done digesting what happened on the field last night in Kansas City, but this ol’ globe keeps on spinning, so the Jays, Reyes, and all of us will have to figure where to go from here.

It’s perhaps easier for the club and player, oddly enough. They can’t just sit around and stew about it the way us fans can, plus they have real information– however much of it exits at this point– to work with, while we’re left to chase ghosts and deconstruct too-soon diagnoses.

For example, earlier today Jose Gomez, who is reportedly the assistant manager of the Dominican WBC team (though I can find no confirmation of this online) tweeted this:

Oh fucking holy fucking shit. An ugly scene at Kaufmann Stadium tonight, as Jose Reyes, after cashing a pair of runs to put the Jays up 8-4, took off for second, slid in safe, and in the process had his back foot bend in a way that feet and ankles aren’t supposed to bend.

He immediately writhed in pain on the ground, and continued doing so for several minutes, as the cart came out to take him off the field. He was unable to get up or put weight on it– not even close. It looked very painful, and– I hate to say it, don’t want to play doctor, and obviously hope for the best– like the kind of thing that had the potential to be catastrophic.
