Orioles Select Denyi Reyes

By Anthony Franco | May 12, 2022 at 10:36am CDT

The Orioles announced this morning they’ve selected righty Denyi Reyes onto the big league club. Travis Lakins Sr. was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move, with Chris Ellis transferred from the 10-day to the 60-day injured list to clear space on the 40-man roster.

Should manager Brandon Hyde deploy Reyes during his MLB stint, he’d be making his major league debut. This isn’t the first time he’s made it onto a 40-man roster, however. Formerly a Red Sox’s prospect, Reyes occupied a spot on Boston’s 40-man from 2018-20. The Sox added him to the roster to keep him from being taken in the Rule 5 draft, and he spent the 2019 season with their Double-A affiliate in Portland. In January 2020, Boston designated Reyes for assignment and passed him through outright waivers without giving him a look against big league hitters.

Baseball America slotted the 6’4″ hurler the #18 prospect in the Boston farm system during his first winter on the 40-man. While he only worked with an 89-92 MPH fastball and a bevy of fringy secondary offerings, the outlet credited his plus control and ability to keep hitters off balance. For the most part, that profile has been reflected in his minor league numbers. Reyes carved up low minors hitters and has almost never walked batters at any level, but he didn’t miss many bats at Double-A in 2019 and struggled with the home run ball during his second crack there last year.

Reyes qualified for minor league free agency at the end of last season, and he signed a non-roster deal with Baltimore during Spring Training. He’s made three starts with Norfolk, allowing 11 runs in 12 innings. The 25-year-old has fanned an impressive 15 hitters while doling out just three free passes in that time, though, and the O’s will add him to the big league staff. Reyes adds a multi-inning option for Hyde in advance of a likely bullpen game this afternoon against the Cardinals.

Ellis’ transfer to the 60-day IL was a matter of when, not if. The 29-year-old righty underwent season-ending shoulder surgery last week. Re-signed to a minors contract over the winter, Ellis made two big league starts.

    Keep waiting to see Orioles call up Adley on here.

      Seriously. I think it will be kind of whack if two of the organization’s best players (the other being Grayson Rodriguez) aren’t playing for the big league team by June 1. It stands to reason that Grayson will be on a strict innings limit, but Rutschman has nothing left to prove. I hope the conjecture of him being called up for the Yankees series next week is on point.

      Me too. Looking forward to seeing Adley here as well. Locally, word is the O’s are happy with play of both Bemboom and Chirinos. Decision time for Elias. Hmm. A thought. Is now the time to move Mancini? Carry 3 catchers with Adley also getting time at DH and 1st base?

        A team like the Braves, who lost Pina for the year may have some interest in a vet like Chirinos. Not going to get a return but if they like Bemboom—he’s controllable and young enough to be the backup for more than just a year.

        AR certainly will be up soon. G-Rod is probably a later in the year move for a handful of starts. He won’t be throwing a ton of innings.

    Another guy in their system can remember few people thinking actually was something who must have been blinded by numbers vs low A hitters chasing his junk out of the K zone and a 40 man spot never wasted upon him. just watching him toss a cpl games on milb tv was all needed to see this guy would get eaten alive at anything higher than high a ball, or any half disciplined hitter.

    So many fans, even on fan sites play follow the leader on a hype train instead of forming an honest opinion by watching said prospects for themselves when many of these ‘experts” no no more (or less) than fans themselves.

    The Orioles don’t see the issue with picking up warm bodies for the bullpen non-stop. The issue is not having reliable starting pitching, thus frying any competence in the bullpen within weeks. The bullpen numbers, as cited above, regularly start the season fairly solidly and then spiral into oblivion by midseason as the nonstop procession of warm body placeholders begins. Here we go, its mid-May.

    Latest rumors is that Adley will come up starting Monday for the Yankees series in Baltimore. This is about what I expected since the Orioles have successfully manipulated his service time…I mean, treated him with a superoverabundance of caution. Have not heard any expectations on Grayson Rodriguez.

    What’s missing from the story is that Paul Fry was sent down today and hopefully he will never get another chance with the Orioles.

      Paul Fry needed that sticky stuff for sure. He’s a dumpster fire now.
