Reyes with the Padres in 2018

Major leagues (2018–2019)

[edit]

Reyes made his Major League debut on May 14, 2018, against the Colorado Rockies, getting the start in right field[6] after outfielders Wil Myers and Hunter Renfroe had both been placed on the injured list.[5] Reyes hit his first MLB home run on May 21 at Nationals Park[7] Reyes was optioned back to Triple-A El Paso on May 31 when Myers returned to the Padres.[8] He returned to the team on July 10[9] and made regular starts in right field until he was optioned again on July 21 when Myers returned from a different injury.[10] Reyes was recalled for a span of 10 games in July, but only saw 12 at-bats, serving mostly as a pinch hitter. He returned to the team in early August when Myers again went to the disabled list.[11] After this fourth promotion, Reyes improved his approach at the plate[12] and raised his average from .221 to .280 through the end of the season while making regular starts in right field. On August 30, he hit a walk-off home run in the 13th inning against Colorado.[13] Reyes finished the season with an .838 OPS and 16 home runs in 261 at-bats and 71 starts in right field.

Reyes had surgery in the off-season to repair a torn right knee meniscus.[14]

Cleveland Indians / Guardians (2019–2022)

[edit]

On July 31, 2019, the Padres traded Reyes to the Cleveland Indians in a three-team trade that also included the Cincinnati Reds. The Indians also acquired Logan Allen and minor leaguer Victor Nova from the Padres and Yasiel Puig and minor league pitcher Scott Moss from the Reds, while the Reds acquired Trevor Bauer from the Indians and the Padres acquired minor leaguer Taylor Trammell from the Reds.[15]

In 2019 in aggregate Reyes batted .249/.310/.512. He made contact with the lowest percentage of pitches he swung at (65.4%) of all major league batters.[16] Overall with the 2020 Cleveland Indians, Reyes batted .275 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs in 59 games.[17]

In 2021, Reyes batted .254 with 30 home runs, and 85 RBIs across 115 games.[18] Reyes missed late May, and the entire month of June, due to an oblique strain.[19]

The Guardians designated Reyes for assignment on August 6, 2022.[20]

On November 10, Reyes was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to the Triple–A Iowa Cubs; he elected free agency the same day.[23][24]
