The Rockies will call up right-hander Greg Reynolds to start Saturday against the Royals.

He'll take the place of Jhoulys Chacin, who will be pushed back to Tuesday due to tightness in his right forearm. Reynolds, 25, has a 4.08 ERA and 8/7 K/BB ratio over 17 2/3 innings with the big club this season. He's not considered a fantasy option.

Rockies optioned RHP Greg Reynolds to Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Reynolds has failed as a starter in the minors and majors this year and wasn't seeing much action in the Rockies' bullpen. He'll work on his craft at Triple-A.

Rockies recalled RHP Greg Reynolds from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Reynolds is available out of the bullpen Sunday and could make a spot start in one half of the Rockies' doubleheader on Tuesday. He's not a fantasy option.

Rockies will recall Greg Reynolds from Triple-A Colorado Springs before Sunday's game.

Reynolds will take over Felipe Paulino's roster spot and might start one of the games during Tuesday's doubleheader. He would then either be demoted for another relief arm or saved for next Saturday's start.

Rockies optioned RHP Greg Reynolds to Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Reynolds was brought up last week to make two spot starts but is no longer needed with Ubaldo Jimenez's return now on the horizon. Reynolds could resurface in the big leagues later this summer as a long reliever.

Greg Reynolds earned his first major league victory since June 17, 2008 by allowing two runs over five innings Thursday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Mets.

Reynolds was 2-8 as a rookie in 2008 before getting hurt and missing much of 2009 and 2010. So far in 2011, he's given the Rockies a pair of quality starts, though he's struck out just three batters in the process. He's still likely to head back to Triple-A to make room for Ubaldo Jimenez in the rotation.

Greg Reynolds held the Pirates to two earned runs over six innings Saturday in a no-decision.

Reynolds struck out two and walked only two, but he threw only 49 of his 88 pitches for strikes and got away with more than a couple mistake pitches against Pittsburgh's light-hitting lineup. He was making the start in place of the injured Ubaldo Jimenez.

Reynolds will take the place of the injured Ubaldo Jimenez in the starting rotation. He'll make his first start Saturday against the Pirates before being reevaluated. Most fantasy owners can afford to wait and see.

Greg Reynolds has been told that he is now in the running for a spot in the Rockies' bullpen.

Esmil Rogers was named Colorado's fifth starter on Thursday, leaving no spot for the 25-year-old Reynolds. He may be able to contribute in a long relief role.

Greg Reynolds didn't help his remote chances of making the Rockies' Opening Day roster on Friday, allowing nine hits and six runs in six innings against the Brewers.

He struck out just two. The former number-two overall draft pick now owns a 6.05 ERA through 19 1/3 innings this spring, and his once promising professional career could be nearing the end of the line.

After battling through various injuries since 2007, former top prospect Greg Reynolds is healthy again.

"It's all systems go now," Reynolds said. "I finally feel like my body can handle the wear and tear of a full season." Drafted second overall in the 2006 draft ahead of perennial All-Stars such as Tim Lincecum and Evan Longoria, Reynolds is trying to claw his way back to the majors, where he compiled an inauspicious 2-8 record and 8.13 ERA in 2008. Last year in the minors he topped the 100-inning mark for only the second time in five professional seasons, finishing with a pedestrian 4.74 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. He will need to stay healthy and improve on those numbers to have any realistic chance of seeing the majors again.

Greg Reynolds allowed three hits and a run over three innings Thursday in his first Arizona Fall League outing.

The former first-round pick struck out one batter and induced eight groundballs but was handed the loss. Reynolds posted an ugly 5.22 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 89 2/3 innings this year at Double-A Tulsa and needs to make significant progress this winter. He's likely to open 2011 at Triple-A.

Reynolds allowed only four hits and a walk while striking out four. It was a nice showing, but he's struggled in general at the minor league level this season and will probably remain in the minors through the end of 2010. With a strong spring next year, perhaps he'll grab a bullpen spot.

Greg Reynolds' minor league rehab assignment was shut down because of irritation he was experiencing in the back of his elbow.

The rotten luck continues for this once-promising hurler. Reynolds was previously on the disabled list with a bone chip in his right elbow suffered when he was hit by a comebacker during spring training and the nerve irritation will push his timetable back again. He'd made three starts in this last incarnation of his rehabilitation attempt prior to the setback.

Reynolds is making a slow recovery from an elbow contusion, suffered when he was hit by a comebacker during spring training. Once fully healthy, he's likely to report to Triple-A Colorado Springs and not the big leagues.

Rockies transferred RHP Greg Reynolds from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.

The Rox are hoping Reynolds will progress to throwing live batting practice sometime next week. Once he accomplishes that feat, it'll only be another week or two before he joins Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Rockies placed RHP Greg Reynolds on the 15-day disabled list with an elbow contusion.

Reynolds had been experiencing swelling in the elbow after being struck by a line drive early in camp. X-rays at the time were negative, but he wasn't able to regular work in and won't be ready for Opening Day. He's expected to open the year at Triple-A Colorado Springs.
