Remember him? It has been a long, hard road for the veteran left-hander with as he underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2013. Reynolds has appeared in 44 games for the Aces, throwing a total of 48 1/3 innings. He is 3-5 with a 5.21 ERA, allowing 50 hits and 17 walks while striking out 42. Before his injury, Reynolds pitched very well for the D-backs in 2013 with a 1.98 ERA in 30 games. He would be a nice situational lefty in the ‘pen in the mold of Oliver Perez who was dealt to the Houston Astros earlier this month.
