19 Matt Reynolds 3B

Reynolds was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

He hasn't done much in 240 career plate appearances in the majors (.223/.295/.340), but has been slightly better at Triple-A this year, slashing .259/.355/.410 with two home runs in 245 plate appearances. Reynolds will continue to serve as organizational infield depth.

The Nationals recalled Reynolds from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Reynolds will take the spot vacated by Anthony Rendon's placement on the paternity list. Rendon should rejoin the big club in just a few days, at which point Reynolds will likely head back to the minors.

Reynolds was sent to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Reynolds had been up since early April, appearing in 10 games but making just one start. He had just one hit in 13 plate appearances. Adrian Sanchez will take his role as a utility infielder on the major-league roster.

Reynolds was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

The Nationals wanted an extra bench bat with Adam Eaton (ankle) day-to-day. Reynolds is capable of playing the corner outfield spots as well as all four infield positions. He has a career .228/.300/.351 slash line in 226 MLB plate appearances.

The Nationals optioned Reynolds to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

Reynolds joined the Nationals in February after being designated for assignment by the Mets and was aiming to crack the Opening Day roster as a utility infielder. The 25-year-old could earn a promotion to the majors if he can replicate his Triple-A slash line of .320/.396/.484 from last season, as Wilmer Difo will fill the super-utility role for Washington.
