Reds Claim Matt Reynolds, Designate Ryan Hendrix

By Darragh McDonald | April 24, 2022 at 1:41pm CDT

The Reds announced that they have claimed infielder Matt Reynolds off waivers from the Mets. Right-handed pitcher Ryan Hendrix has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move, reports Mark Sheldon of MLB.com.

Reynolds, 31, made his major league debut with the Mets in 2016. Since then, he’s bounced around to the Nationals and Royals, as well as a stint in the minors for the White Sox. He returned to the Mets on a minor league deal and was selected to their 40-man roster a couple of weeks ago when Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha tested positive for Covid-19. As they returned to reclaim their roster spots, Reynolds relinquished his, being designated for assignment last week.

Reynolds hasn’t hit much at the major league level thus far in his career, putting up a line of .212/.282/.323 in 131 games. However, his Triple-A numbers are much more encouraging, coming in at .282/.363/.434 in 585 games at that level. The Reds will be hoping Reynolds can carry some of that production up to the majors. Their infield has taken a number of hits in the early going this year, as Mike Moustakas, Jose Barrero, Jonathan India, Donovan Solano and Max Schrock are all on the injured list. Reynolds has played all over the infield in his career, while also seeing limited action in the outfield corners.

Hendrix made his major league debut last year, throwing 31 2/3 innings out of Cincinnati’s bullpen. His 5.97 ERA was on the high side, but he at least paired that with a decent 24.6% strikeout rate and tolerable 11.3% walk rate. Things have gone sour this year, however, as his ERA has shot up to 8.10, with a 22.2% walk rate. We’re talking about a miniscule sample of 3 1/3 innings, but the Reds are nonetheless willing to take the risk of Hendrix clearing waivers and sticking with the organization. The 27-year-old does have an option, which could give him some appeal to teams in need of pitching depth.

      I am guessing in the 30-35 range. They are almost a shoo in to get the top pick in the draft. but that still won’t help with whom they have running things.

      Einstein: Reds are in year 1 of a rebuild mode. Fact. Smaller markets takes multiple years to rebuild, by acquiring assets at trade deadline and high draft picks. Fact.

      So why in gods name would start the service clock on ANY prospect of value when they will be at back end of years of control when the team is ready to compete?? Answer the question!

      Maybe, just maybe, its not about you, your gross misinderstanding of baseball, and your type-first approach.

          Um, Flyby, you DO understand what you posted and what that means, correct? You realize it aligns to what I said? Synapses firing today?

          And Random, if you undstood the basic rebuild process, and some of the nuances of prospect arrivals, you might then keep your pointless commentary muted. You and David Twitt will be the first two to whine in 4 yrs when Lodolo and Greene are potentially moved for a prosect haul. Go ahead, write it down on your Fisher Price White Board….with todays date.

          Well said. If they were planning to rebuild smartly, they would’ve traded Winker/Castillo/Mahle/Gray. They would’ve kept Iglesias/Miley/Suarez/Barnhart, try to let them build their value, then trade at the deadline.

          There is no plan, other than to line the pockets of Castellini. We could’ve kept Castellanos and rebuilt with him for about what we paid for Pham/Minor/Solano, and we didn’t even call him to wish him well, nothing but scholars and intellectuals in the ownership/GM box at the stadium…..

          I mean, it’s kinda true, albeit an exaggeration. They were in a rebuild for a while, made a bunch of moves and signings too soon and they didn’t work out. Then, without ever really winning, they went into rebuild again.

      • Tiger22matt

        4 weeks ago

        Yes because any fan base wants to rebuild for 4 to 5 years to do a 1 year push then rebuild for 4 or 5 years more. Stick to your large market franchise where you can buy success.

        But, this way, cranks can complain about the team not bringing young guys up early for experience and then later when they leave or get traded away because they reach free agency a year or two earlier.

    This is a low level move by the Reds because of their injuries. Why are reds fans so displeased with this move? The young guys will play and this guy is just a bandaid until they return this year. Reds have what, 6 infielders on the injury list? Seems like a bandaid fix to me.
