Reed was optioned to minor league camp Monday.
Reed was impressive this spring, hitting .311 with three home runs and nine RBI over 48 Grapefruit League plate appearances with the Astros. Unfortunately, he fell short in his bid to win the Opening Day first base job, but as camp progressed, it was expected he'd open 2016 with Triple-A Fresno because he's never played at that level. The 22-year-old will likely make his big league debut this season, but how soon will depend on how Tyler White performs early in the year.
