Updating a previous report, Reyes has not signed a minor-league contract with the Mets, Manny Gomez of NJ Advance Media reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gomez says that Reyes actually agreed to terms with the Mets last offseason but never signed a contract. The Mets remain interested in signing Reyes and could re-engage with him at some point, per Gomez, but nothing is imminent. Reyes has not pitched anywhere since 2021 due to a pair of shoulder surgeries.

The Mets signed Reyes to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reyes has not pitched anywhere since 2021 due to multiple right shoulder surgeries, with the most recent one occurring in June of 2023. He's evidently healthy now and the Mets felt he was worth a no-risk flier to see what, if anything, he might have left in the tank. Reyes had lights-out stuff when on the bump, but he's now 30 and it's a complete mystery as to what that stuff might look like now.

The Dodgers declined Reyes' (shoulder) $3 million option for 2024 on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reyes was recovering from shoulder surgery when he signed a one-year deal with the Dodgers in February. He underwent another procedure on his right shoulder in June and will now leave the organization without appearing in a game. Reyes has been effective when healthy throughout his career; however, he hasn't pitched since 2021, and concerns regarding his health could significantly impact his value in free agency.

Reyes underwent surgery on his right shoulder last week and has been ruled out for the 2023 season, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The surgery is Reyes' second on his right shoulder in a little over a year, as he previously required a procedure to repair a torn labrum back in May 2022. The right-hander was signed to a one-year, $1.1 million contract in the offseason with the hope that the former Cardinals top prospect could offer a boost to the Los Angeles bullpen, but he won't end up throwing a pitch for the Dodgers in 2023. His deal contains a $3 million team option for 2024 that the Dodgers will most likely decline this winter.

Reyes (shoulder) was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list by the Dodgers on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The procedural move helps the Dodgers clear room on the 40-man roster for Austin Wynns. Reyes is expected to return around the start of June, as he's currently recovering from the shoulder surgery he underwent last May.

Reyes (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Reyes is expected to miss the first couple months of the 2023 regular season as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery last May. He joined the Dodgers on a one-year, $1.1 million contract just before the start of spring training.

Reyes (shoulder) signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract Saturday with the Dodgers, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It comes with a $3 million club option for 2024, and there are performance-based escalators that could push the total value of the deal up near $10 million. Reyes has battled a range of different injuries throughout his career, and he did not pitch at any level in 2022 because of a shoulder issue that required surgery in May. The 28-year-old right-hander is a former top-10 overall prospect and he racked up 29 saves as the Cardinals' primary closer in 2021. Toribio notes that Reyes will likely miss "at least a few months" to begin the 2023 campaign but has generally "looked good in his recovery" from the shoulder procedure.

The Cardinals declined to tender Reyes (shoulder) a contract for 2023 on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
With a 2.86 career ERA, Reyes has always been a solid arm out of the bullpen. However, injuries have forced him to miss a lot of time, most recently undergoing surgery on his right shoulder in May and missing all of last season. Still, Reyes' resume is impressive enough where he should have no problem finding a team willing to take a chance on him as he recovers from surgery.

The Cardinals reinstated Reyes (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Though Reyes reclaims a spot on the 40-man roster with the transaction, his activation from the 60-day injured list doesn't necessarily indicate that he's made a full recovery from the right shoulder surgery he underwent in late May. The Cardinals haven't revealed a recovery timeline for Reyes, but there's a good chance he's limited in some capacity to begin spring training. If the 28-year-old bounces back from surgery as well as the Cardinals hope, he could re-emerge as a useful late-inning arm in 2023.

Reyes will undergo shoulder surgery at the end of May, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reyes has been dealing with shoulder issues since at least mid-March, and while he resumed throwing in late April he was shut down again in mid-May. The surgery is expected to end his 2022 campaign, though the Cardinals have stopped short of officially ruling him out for the year.
