Reynolds re-signed Sunday with the Giants on a minor-league contract, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants had designated Reynolds for assignment near the end of last season, but he'll stick with the organization and get an opportunity to compete for an Opening Day roster spot, as his minor-league deal will include an invitation to spring training. The 32-year-old lefty made only eight appearances for the big club last season, put tossed 18.2 scoreless innings across stints at Double-A and Triple-A.

Reynolds was designated for assignment by the Giants on Tuesday, Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants needed to add depth at other positions and Reynolds was a roster casualty. The 31-year-old lefty allowed just one run in his first six appearances with San Francisco but was then knocked around for four runs in his last appearance, while failing to record an out. He will now be subjected to waivers.

Reynolds was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old has fared well this season at Double and Triple-A, amassing a cumulative 0.89 ERA across 40.2 innings. While his track record in the majors isn't quite as impressive, Reynolds will provide bullpen depth down the stretch as the Giants attempt to grab hold of a playoff spot.

Reynolds was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move was made to make room to clear spots for newly acquired Will Smith and Matt Moore. This season between Double-A and Triple-A, Reynolds owns a 0.00 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 10.1 innings. The 31-year-old could help the Giants bullpen when rosters expand in September.

Reynolds' contract was selected by the Giants on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The former Arizona reliever has been working in the Giants' farm system this season and he has dominated the competition at each stop. He didn't allow a run in 10.1 innings of work across Double and Triple-A and he notched an astronomical 12.35 K/9 at Triple-A. He'll take the roster spot of Josh Osich, who was used as a lefty specialist out of the Giants' pen before going down with a forearm strain.

Reynolds was released by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds battled a rib injury during camp and was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday after making just four spring appearances. His release comes as a bit of a surprise, as it was thought he could prove his health in the minors before getting another shot with the Diamondbacks.

Reynolds was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty reliever was limited to just four appearances in spring training while battling a rib issue, which prevented him from making a more serious challenge for a bullpen role with the big club. He may need to prove he's fully healthy and effective at Triple-A before getting another shot with the Diamondbacks.

Reynolds left Thursday's spring training game with an apparent injury, Nick Piecoro of AZCentral.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reynolds missed most of 2013 and all of 2014 recovering from Tommy John surgery and said before this season that has arm feels as good as it has in years. The extent of the injury is unknown at this point, but given Reynolds's history, it's understandable to fear the worst.

Reynolds says his arm feels better than it has in several years, the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty was perhaps the team's best reliever during the first two months of the 2013 season, but he hurt his elbow and wound up needing Tommy John surgery. The procedure cost him the rest of 2013 and all of 2014, and he spent most of 2015 in the minors before a brief MLB stint at the end of the season. Reynolds will battle for a spot in the Diamondbacks bullpen this spring.

Reynolds signed with the Diamondbacks on Monday

EDGE Analysis

The Diamondbacks were able to avoid arbitration and sign Reynolds to another year. Reynolds was brought up to the majors at the end of August to pitch out of the bullpen, and will battle for a spot on the opening day roster.
