Mets shortstop Jose Reyes has started running, but doesn’t know when he will be returning. Reyes is eligible to return from the disabled list on Tuesday, but doesn’t know if he will be ready.

Jose Reyes ran for 1 1/2 hours Friday at a training facility in Long Island, but said he does not yet know if his strained left hamstring will be ready for game action by the time he's eligible to come off the disabled list Tuesday.

"I need to run the bases first before I decide about when I can play," Reyes said. "I've been running the past couple of days, so I'm feeling good. I'm not 100 percent, but it's getting there."

Reyes said he has also been taking batting practice, fielding ground balls and throwing to first base -- activities he says have not been a problem thus far.

The shortstop also said his rehabilitation is going along at about the same pace as it did when he injured the same hamstring earlier in the season. That injury cost Reyes 12 games from July 3-18. Despite his recent injury problems, Reyes was hesitant to commit to taking days off in the future, a strategy manager Terry Collins had proposed to keep Reyes' oft-injured legs healthy.

"It depends how I'm feeling," Reyes said. "When I'm on the field, I like to play every day. We'll see how I feel when I play day games, when I play night games. We'll talk about it."
