Athletics' Gerardo Reyes: Gets call to big leagues

Reyes has made two appearances out of the bullpen for Oakland since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks while striking out two over two innings.

Reyes was added to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster as a replacement for right-hander Paul Blackburn, whom the Athletics traded to the Mets on Tuesday. The Athletics are likely to deploy Reyes mostly in lower-leverage spots while he's up in the big leagues.
