Reyes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Atlanta.
The 25-year-old started in left field and homered off Chris Sale in his first major-league at-bat, launching a 2-0 fastball into the right-field seats. Reyes slashed .333/.345/.654 across 84 plate appearances at Triple-A Lehigh Valley to begin the year and should draw most of his opportunities against lefties, a role previously held by the recently demoted Otto Kemp.

Phillies' Felix Reyes: Contract selected
Rotowire
The Phillies selected Reyes' contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Reyes has gotten off to a strong start at Lehigh Valley, slashing .333./.345/.654 with six homers, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored through 84 plate appearances. The 25-year-old has experience at first and third base as well as the corner outfield positions, so he'll replace the struggling Otto Kemp as Philadelphia's bench utility player. Reyes will be making his MLB debut while starting in left field Saturday against Atlanta.
