Matt Reynolds (elbow) is scheduled to throw Wednesday for the first time since being placed on the disabled list. Reynolds has been shut down for six weeks due to a slight tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his left elbow. He'll start out by playing catch and will build up his workload as long as there are no setbacks, which is obviously no guarantee. The 28-year-old southpaw had a 1.98 ERA in 30 appearances prior to the injury.

Matt Reynolds has been diagnosed with a slight tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. Reynolds will receive a second opinion, but the plan for now is to shut him down for six weeks before he can hopefully begin a throwing program. Of course, anytime the UCL is compromised, the possibility of Tommy John surgery is there. Either way, it's unfortunate for the D'Backs bullpen, as Reynolds holds a 1.98 ERA and 1.10 WHIP this season.

Diamondbacks placed LHP Matt Reynolds on the 15-day disabled list with a left elbow strain. Reynolds struggled in his last two appearances, and perhaps now we know why. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be sidelined. It's a blow to the Arizona bullpen, as the lefty boasts a 1.98 ERA and 1.10 WHIP this season.

Matt Reynolds nailed down his second save of the season with a scoreless 10th inning in Wednesday's win over the Giants. David Hernandez got the save chance in the ninth with J.J. Putz having the day off, but he allowed a game-tying homer. Manager Kirk Gibson then went to Reynolds, who converted his second save in as many days. The lefty has yet to allow a run this season and looks to be third in line for saves in Arizona.

Diamondbacks acquired LHP Matt Reynolds from the Rockies for RHP Ryan Wheeler. Reynolds, 28, posted a 4.40 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 51/17 K/BB ratio in 57 1/3 innings this past season for the Rockies. He'll serve as a lefty reliever for Arizona.
