Both the Mets and Marlins have had two days off before their scheduled doubleheader today at Citi Field, in which it may help the Mets. Jason Bay and Jose Reyes are expected to return to the line-up as the Mets tries to end their six-game home losing streak against the Marlins. The Mets had the final two games of its weekend series with Atlanta postponed due to Hurricane Irene.

The time off may benefit the Mets more since Reyes is scheduled to rejoin the team since Reyes has been out since Aug. 7 with a strained left hamstring. Reyes completed a rehab assignment with Binghamton on Saturday, in which he went 3-for-9 with a homer in the three games. “I wanted the opportunity to make some plays on the field and today they hit me ground balls and I was moving with no problem,” Reyes told the Mets’ official website. “They hit me a fly ball, too, and I had to go to my back, but no problem. Everything’s good right now. I just want to go to New York and see what’s going on.” Reyes is still among the major league leaders with 50 multi-hit games. He’s batting .341 during an eight-game hitting streak against Florida.
