Reynolds was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
Reynolds' move back to Triple-A opens up the 25-man roster spot required for the Mets to add Wilmer Flores from the disabled list. Even when with the big league club, the 25-year-old lacks the power or speed to be a big-time fantasy prospect, but he'll return his services to the minors and await another opportunity to contribute after a 1-for-10 effort in limited action during his first run at the majors.
