JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - Florida Marlins second baseman Pokey Reese has had no contact with the team since Wednesday, missing a workout and a game, and club officials said they're concerned about him.

General manager Larry Beinfest said Reese gave no indication that he was taking time off, and the team has no idea where he might be.

"We tried to track him down starting yesterday,'' Beinfest said Friday. "He was playing well. He looked healthy. We were happy with him, and he appeared to be happy. ... We want to make sure he's OK.''

Reese missed a workout Thursday. The team had him in the lineup for Friday's game against Baltimore, but he again failed to show.

Beinfest said the team tried to check on Reese at the apartment where he has been staying, but there was no answer at the door. Reese's agent told the team he hadn't heard from his client, Beinfest said.

Reese, a two-time Gold Glove winner, spent all of last season on the disabled list with the Seattle Mariners following shoulder surgery. He signed with the Marlins in December.

Teammate Lenny Harris said he left a message for Reese on his voice mail.

"That's kind of weird for him to just take off and nobody know like that,'' Harris said.

Beinfest said the Marlins haven't contacted Reese's family. They did notify Major League Baseball of Reese's absence.

"I'm not upset with him,'' manager Joe Girardi said. "I just want to hear his voice that he's OK.''

The 32-year-old Reese, who grew up in a depressed neighborhood in Columbia, S.C., has been forced to cope with a succession of family tragedies. His fiancee died in a car crash in 1993. Three years later, the mother of his son, Naquawan, died while delivering a child fathered by another man.

Naquawan went to live with his maternal grandmother and great-grandmother. Both women were murdered on Christmas Eve 1997.

"Baseball helps me free my mind from the past,'' Reese said shortly after reporting to spring training with the Marlins last week.

He began his major league career in 1997 with Cincinnati and won a World Series ring with Boston in 2004.
