Reyes was released by the Braves on Wednesday. |
The Braves' added Reyes to their 40-man roster a couple years ago to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, but his production tailed off after his promotion to Triple-A and an arrest earlier this year effectively removed him from the team's future plans. Reyes' future in professional baseball is uncertain. |

Reyes was placed on the restricted list Wednesday after being arrested on kidnapping and rape charges last weekend, MiLB.com's Ashley Marshall reports. |
Reyes has a court appearance scheduled in Columbus, Ohio on Jun. 2 and it seems unlikely that the Braves will activate Reyes unless the legal matter is dropped or he is found to be innocent of the charges. A 24-year-old shortstop playing for Triple-A Gwinnett, Reyes is hitting just .216/.258/.279 in 111 at-bats, and is at best a fringe fantasy prospect. |
