Reyes was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Angels on Friday.
Reyes was unable to secure a spot in the Los Angeles bullpen to begin the 2023 campaign. The right-hander made two appearances for the Angels last season, and he is a good bet to be an up-and-down arm for the club in 2023.

Rotowire
Reyes was returned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
Reyes joined the Angels' bullpen as a replacement player in Toronto this weekend and allowed a run on three hits and three walks in two innings over two relief appearances against the Blue Jays. However, he'll head back to Triple-A as part of a move after Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera were activated Monday.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Promoted by Angels
Rotowire
Reyes had his contract selected by the Angels on Friday.
The Angels have three players who are unvaccinated and can't travel into Canada for this weekend's three-game set in Toronto, including two relievers, and Reyes will join the team as bullpen depth. The right-hander last pitched in the majors in 2019 and has a 3.92 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 52:28 K:BB in 38 appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake this year.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Carving out relief role at Triple-A
Rotowire
Reyes (elbow) has posted a 4.26 ERA and 1.51 WHIP while striking out 33 and gathering four saves across 25.1 innings in 25 relief appearances for Triple-A Salt Lake this season.
Though Reyes underwent Tommy John surgery in mid-March 2021, he made a remarkably quick recovery from the procedure, as he was included on Salt Lake's Opening Day roster. Considering the offense-friendly environment he's been pitching in in the Pacific Coast League, Reyes has acquitted himself well, but a promotion to the Angels doesn't appear to be imminent for the 29-year-old.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Set for Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Reyes will undergo Tommy John surgery next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Reyes was diagnosed with a UCL sprain in early March, and it turns out that the injury is bad enough to require surgery. A typical recovery timeline would see Reyes shut down until the middle of next season. At that point, he'll be a 29-year-old coming off major surgery with just 26 big-league innings to his name.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Reyes (elbow) was outrighted to the minors by the Angels on Friday.
Reyes was diagnosed with a right UCL sprain Tuesday, and he'll now be removed from the 40-man roster. He was a long shot to make the Angels' roster in the first place, but it appears as though he'll begin the season in the minors if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Diagnosed with UCL sprain
Rotowire
Reyes was diagnosed with a right UCL sprain Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Reyes will presumably miss an extended period with the injury, though it remains unclear exactly when he's expected back. He was always a long shot to make the Opening Day roster, and this news seems to have evaporated his chances completely.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Dealing with right elbow discomfort
Rotowire
Reyes was diagnosed with right elbow discomfort after leaving Sunday's spring game against the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Reyes recorded one out against San Francisco during Sunday's Cactus League opener, but he exited the game with an elbow issue. It's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time, but an absence would hinder his chances of making the team's Opening Day roster.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Exits with trainer
Rotowire
Reyes left Sunday's spring game against the Giants with an apparent injury, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
The 27-year-old recorded one out and gave up two runs on two hits and a walk before leaving the field with an athletic trainer. Reyes likely needs a strong showing in spring training to have a chance of cracking the Opening Day roster, so any absence could significantly hurt his opportunities.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Joins taxi squad
Rotowire
Reyes is traveling as part of the Angels' taxi squad on their current road trip, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Reyes was acquired from San Diego in exchange for Jason Castro at the trade deadline. The right-handed reliever has not appeared in the majors this season, but he made 27 appearances with the Padres in 2019, logging a 7.62 ERA and 1.35 WHIP along with a 38:11 K:BB. As part of the taxi squad, he'll be eligible to play only if he is first added to the 28-man roster.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Headed to Angels
Rotowire
Reyes was traded from the Padres to the Angels on Sunday in exchange for catcher Jason Castro, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Reyes narrowly missed out on a spot on the Padres' Opening Day roster this season. The right-hander had some struggles in his first taste of major-league action last year as he posted a 7.62 ERA and 38:11 K:BB over 26 innings across 27 appearances with the Padres. It's unclear whether the Angels plan to use Reyes in their major-league bullpen during the 2020 season.

Angels' Gerardo Reyes: Optioned to alternate training site
Rotowire
Reyes was optioned to the Angels' alternate training site Sunday.
Reyes was acquired by the Angels earlier Sunday in exchange for Jason Castro, but he'll begin his time in the organization with the alternate squad. Whether he'll be added to the team's bullpen at some point during the abbreviated 2020 season remains to be seen.
Reyes did not make the cut for the Padres' 30-man roster.
Reyes was never in serious contention for a spot in San Diego's exceptionally deep bullpen. He'll open the season at the team's alternate training site, though it's not out of the question that he could pitch in the majors this year.
Reyes was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.
He gave up three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three batters in 4.2 innings this spring. Reyes is poised to serve as organizational bullpen depth this season.

Padres' Gerardo Reyes: Thriving since promotion
Rotowire
Reyes has allowed one earned run and struck out 11 batters in 6.1 innings since being called up Sept. 3.
Reyes' recent success is in stark contrast to his previous five stints in the majors this season, during which he accumulated an 11.25 ERA and 1.75 WHIP over 16 innings. Although the sample size is small, Reyes' progress can be tied to a drastic improvement in control; whereas he walked 11 batters in his previous 18 outings, he has yet to issue a free pass in September. The 26-year-old's strong month could open the door for a chance to earn a season-long bullpen spot with the big club next year if he throws well in spring training.

Padres' Gerardo Reyes: Back in major leagues
Rotowire
Reyes was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
Reyes has struggled mightily in the big leagues this season, accruing an 11.25 ERA and 1.75 WHIP over 16 frames, but the Padres will give him another shot down the stretch. He figures to slot into a low-leverage role.

Padres' Gerardo Reyes: Optioned down Sunday
Rotowire
Reyes was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Reyes walked two of the three batters he faced Friday in the series opener, and that was it for his latest big-league stint. The right-hander has bounced between levels for much of the year and could be up and down again before rosters expand in September, if there's a need for a fresh arm in the bullpen.

Padres' Gerardo Reyes: Returns to big leagues
Rotowire
Reyes was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
Reyes hasn't found success in the big leagues this season, accruing a 10.91 ERA and 1.66 WHIP with a 23:9 K:BB over 15.2 innings. He'll get another shot in the majors after Jose Castillo was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left middle finger strain.
