Reynolds agreed to a minor-league deal with the Nationals on Thursday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds will be resigned to signing a minor-league deal two weeks into the season after slugging 30 homers and driving in 97 runs for the Rockies in 2017. He'll likely be assigned to Triple-A Syracuse where he'll provide valuable corner-infield depth for the Nationals moving forward.

Reynolds informed Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post earlier this offseason that he wanted to re-sign with the Rockies, but Colorado has since tabled negotiations with the veteran first baseman after initially expressing interest.

EDGE Analysis

The timeline for Reynolds' discussions with the Rockies isn't clear, but it's unlikely that there has been any renewed dialogue between the two sides in spring training with Ian Desmond prepping for an everyday role at first base to begin the season and corner-infield prospect Ryan McMahon mashing Cactus-League pitching and looking ready for the big leagues. The Rockies' stance on the matter could change quickly if Desmond or McMahon were to fall victim for injury, but for the time being, it looks like Reynolds may have to settle for a minor-league contract from another team if he wants to keep his career going. Reynolds enjoyed a nice resurgence while playing at altitude last season, slugging 30 home runs -- his most since 2011 -- and reaching base at a .352 clip.

Reynolds is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Jenny Cavnar of AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds is hitting just .231 during the month of September and will make his way to the bench for the final game of the regular season. Ian Desmond will take over at first base, batting fifth.

Reynolds is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds will open on the bench Saturday for the second straight day with Ian Desmond again starting at first base. Reynolds has been the Rockies' primary first baseman for most of the year, but he seems to be ceding that spot to Desmond as the regular season winds down, at least against right-handed pitchers.

Reynolds is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds will take a seat for the third time in six games as him and Ian Desmond continue to share starts at first base. He's had a slow start to September, slashing just .170/.235/.298 with one homer in 13 games, but the veteran slugger still figures to see his fair share of starts down the stretch.

Reynolds is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds will get the day off after drawing five consecutive starts at first base, going just 3-for-22 (.136) with one homer during that span. The 34-year-old slugger has been a surprise source of production this season after joining the Rockies on a minor-league deal in spring training, slashing 266./.352/.492 with 29 homers and 93 RBI through 136 games. He'll continue to see his fair share of starts down the stretch, but Ian Desmond will take over for him at first base for Thursday's series finale.

Reynolds went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

He put this one out of reach, extending the Rockies' lead from two runs to six with his eighth-inning homer off Walker Buehler. It was Reynolds' first home run of September, but he has 10 in the second half and 29 for the season. The 34-year-old is approaching his career high of 102 RBI.

Reynolds is not in the lineup against the Giants on Wednesday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds retreats to the bench following a pair of starts, including a 2-for-3 day at the plate during Tuesday's win. Ian Desmond draws the assignment at first, batting sixth in the order for the series finale.

Reynolds is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds has started seven of the last eight games at first base, but the veteran will sit in favor of Ryan McMahon for the series finale. In his last three games, Reynolds has produced zero base hits and five strikeouts, and although he's always been a high-strikeout player, a maintenance day may be overdue in this instance.

Reynolds is not in Wednesday's lineup against Detroit, Max Gelman of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds retreats to the bench following five straight starts, going 5-for-20 with two home runs, three RBI and eight strikeouts over that span. Ian Desmond draws the assignment at first base in his stead.
