NL West Notes: Rockies and Reyes, Ryu rehab start

We finally know that Jose Reyes will be suspended through the rest on May, and then be able to return to baseball. This decision was a long-time in the making, but it leaves the Colorado Rockies in a tough spot.

They have a couple of options, but one isn't putting Reyes on the field. With Trevor Story at shortstop, the Rockies can either just release Reyes, or try to move in him a trade. While trading him may be difficult, there are apparently teams that are interested in his services. Whatever they decided, it will be a tough process for the Colorado front office.

More news from around the National League West:

• Hyun-jin-Ryu will start his rehab assignment today, pitching two innings for the Class-A team, and it looks as though he is going to need four to five rehab starts to rebuild his arm strength.
• After their dust-up on the mound, Santiago Casilla apologized to his manager Bruce Bochy for the incident.
• Paola Boivin of AZCentral Sports asks "Is there an All-Star on the Arizona Diamondbacks?"
• Padres first baseman Wil Myers left Saturday's game with a calf cramp, but fear not Padres fans as he appears to be okay and is slated to play in today's contest.
