Thu Jan 19 2023 | 18:37 | Reds Outright Matt Reynolds To Minors |
Cincinnati Reds infielder Matt Reynolds cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday. Reynolds has the option to decline the outright assignment and become a free agent after he was designated for assignment last Friday to make room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Luke Weaver. The 32-year-old will simply serve as organizational infield depth for the Reds if he remains in the organization. Reynolds spent 2022 with the Reds and New York Mets, hitting .246/.320/.332 with a .652 OPS, three home runs, 23 RBI, 31 runs scored and five stolen bases in 272 plate appearances and 93 games (only one with the Mets). |

Reynolds was recalled from Triple-A Reno prior to Sunday's game against the Reds. |
Reynolds will replace Keith Hessler as a lefty option out of the D-Backs' bullpen, after the latter was demoted to Reno following Saturday's game. In 45 appearances for the Triple-A club this season, Reynolds posted a 5.58 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 50 innings. |

Reynolds (elbow) has allowed two runs on two hits over two innings in two relief appearances with Triple-A Reno to the begin the season. |
That he is healthy enough to pitch is more important than the results right now, as Reynolds is moving further away from Tommy John surgery in September of 2013. If he proves effective in the PCL, Reynolds should be back in the Arizona bullpen later this season. |

Reynolds has been recovering from Tommy John surgery and a rib issue in spring training, likely leading to his placement in Triple-A. If he can return to form, however, it's quite possible he will rejoin the Diamondbacks' bullpen in short order. |

Reynolds (ribs, elbow) has made two Cactus League appearances this spring. |
He's returning from Tommy John surgery, so the Diamondbacks are monitoring his workload closely this spring. Reynolds may begin the season on the 15-day DL, but his absence could be brief if he can make further progress in his recovery over the final two-plus weeks of spring training. |

Reynolds (elbow) has been slow by a minor rib issue this spring, the Arizona Republic reports. |

Reynolds (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Friday, Jack Magruder of Fox Sports Arizona reports. |
Reynolds threw off a mound for the second time since he had Tommy John surgery last September. His next step will apparently be pitching in the instructional league Wednesday for his first rehab appearance. If he pitches well and has no ill effects, a couple of outings in the league may be all he needs before rejoining the Diamondbacks. |

Reynolds (elbow) threw 29 pitches in a live batting practice session Friday. |
Friday's live session marked Reynolds' first since he underwent Tommy John surgery last September. Live batting practice is typically one of the final hurdles a pitcher must clear before heading out for a rehab assignment, and while the team may want to see him throw several sessions, there's at least a chance Reynolds is assigned to an affiliate in the next week or so. The lefty has a career 3.58 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 153.1 innings. |

Reynolds (elbow) will face live hitting for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last September, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. |
Reynolds hasn't pitched in the majors since last June, but appears to be moving towards a return by facing live hitting for the first time since the UCL strain. He is still a ways away from potentially rejoining the bullpen, requiring a good amount of outings before the team will decide what to do with him. |
