Rockies' Jose Reyes prepares for return
20-May-2016 10:08
Contrite but happy to be back on a baseball field, Colorado's All-Star shortstop worked out at the Rockies' spring training facility on Thursday, his first step in returning from a 59-day suspension for violating Josh Bailey JerseyMajor League Baseball's new domestic violence policy.

''It's good to be on the field and put that stuff behind me,'' Reyes said. ''I'm sorry. I made a mistake and will stand here like a man. I just have to try to be a better man, a better husband.''

Reyes did not participate in spring training and washttp://www.officialislandersstore.com/Womens_Youth_Kyle_Okposo_Jersey suspended through May 31 after being charged with domestic violence for an altercation with his wife in Hawaii last October. Prosecutors dropped the charge ahead of a scheduled April 4 trial, saying Reyes' wife was not cooperating.

Reyes became the second player to be suspended under baseball's new domestic violence policy - with New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman - and will lose about $6.25 million of his $22 million salary while sitting out.

''I put myself in this situation and I'm sorry about it,'' Reyes said. ''I need http://www.officialislandersstore.com/Womens_Youth_Mathew_Barzal_Jersey" to put this in the past and continue with my life and my career. Human beings make mistakes. Like I said, I'm sorry to put Rockies fans in this kind of situation.''

Reyes stood out at Colorado's extended spring training, not just with his purple workout shirt among the gray-shirted youngsters, but with his slick fielding and quick bat.

The four-time All-Star spent about two hours on the Rockies' Mark Stuart Jerseyback fields, working with some of the younger players while fielding grounders for about 20 minutes. The young players seemed to enjoy being around a player of his stature, laughing as he joked around on the field, http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Ondrej_Pavelec_Jerseysome of them sneaking peeks at him around the backstop.

Reyes spent some time in the batting cage then waited for the others to go through situational hitting drills before taking swings from both sides of the plate.

''Being here on the field again, I feel like I'm 18 again, working out with those young kids, great talents moving around, that made me feel good,'' Reyes said.

Reyes can return on June 1, but it's unclear what the 32-year-old's role will be when he gets back.
