Dennys Reyes told Fernando Ballesteros of Puro Beisbol that he's still planning to pitch for the Orioles this season despite getting released this weekend.

Reyes suffered a torn tendon in his left middle finger while pitching in the Mexican Winter League and is still undergoing therapy. "They had to release me because they couldn't pay my contract with me being here (in Mexico)," Reyes said. "If they hadn't released me, I could have complained to the Player's Union in order to get them to pay me. Unofficially, I still belong to them."

Orioles released LHP Dennys Reyes.

Reyes had yet to report to Orioles camp due to visa issues, and the team evidently didn't want to wait for him any longer. The veteran left-hander will try to catch on with another organization once he makes it to the states.

Dennys Reyes and Ronny Paulino are both dealing with visa issues and have not yet reported to Orioles camp.

Both were signed to minor league deals this offseason that included invites to spring training. Once they get to camp, Reyes has an outside chance to make the club as a left-handed specialist, while Paulino will have to have a huge spring to win the backup catcher job.

Orioles signed LHP Dennys Reyes to a minor league contract.

Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com confirms that the deal includes a spring training invite. Reyes made four relief appearances with the Red Sox before being designated for assignment last April and didn't throw another pitch after being placed on the restricted list in May. The 34-year-old left-hander has a 4.21 ERA over 15 major-league seasons.

Red Sox placed LHP Dennys Reyes on the restricted list.

Details are scarce at this time, but Reyes reportedly returned to Mexico because he needed time at home. The veteran left-hander made the Red Sox out of spring training, but was designated for assignment following the first week of the season.

Red Sox sent LHP Dennys Reyes outright to Triple-A Pawtucket.

Reyes successfully cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last Friday. While the veteran southpaw didn't fare too well during his brief stay with the Red Sox, he's useful depth to have at the Triple-A level.

Dennys Reyes told the Red Sox before being designated for assignment Friday that he would be willing to report to Triple-A Pawtucket if he clears waivers.

He's unlikely to be claimed, so it sounds like he'll be at Pawtucket for a while. Though Reyes struggled in his short time with the Sox, he would give them solid, cheap depth from the left side of the bullpen.

Dennys Reyes had a forgettable sixth inning Wednesday night, hitting two batters and walking a third on 12 pitches before getting pulled.

"I was going too quick to the plate," he said. "My arm was too far in front of my body. It was mechanical. I couldn't command my pitches." Reyes threw only one strike in the inning. Six of the 10 batters he has faced this season have gotten on base.

Dennys Reyes will make the Red Sox' Opening Day roster.

Reyes entered camp on a minor league deal and had his opt-out clause extended a day so that the Sox could have more time to make a decision on the last couple spots in thie bullpen. It appears they've made the decision to keep him after he'd posted a 3.00 ERA with eight strikeouts over nine innings. It could mean that Hideki Okajima is slated to start the year in the minors, as the Red Sox reportedly only want to carry one lefty in the bullpen.

Dennys Reyes has agreed to extend the opt-out date on his contract to Saturday.

The original out-out date was Friday. Reyes, who signed a minor league deal over the winter, is currently competing for one of the team's final bullpen spots. The veteran southpaw has has allowed just one run over eight innings this spring while striking out eight and walking three.

Dennys Reyes can opt out of his contract with the Red Sox on March 25.

Reyes has allowed just one run and five hits in seven innings of work this spring and will probably decide to stick around even if the Red Sox don't deem him ready for a big league spot immediately. The lefty had a hard enough time finding a minor league contract this winter.

After throwing his second session of live batting practice on Thursday, Dennys Reyes has been deemed ready for game action.

He'll pitch against the Orioles on Saturday. A lefty specialist that let lefties tee off on him to the tune of .307 last season, Reyes may have a hard time nailing down a spot in Boston's stacked bullpen this spring.

Dennys Reyes reported to Red Sox camp Saturday after resolving his visa issue.

The left-hander also revealed that he has an opt-out clause on March 26 if he's not guaranteed a spot on the major league roster. Reyes is probably the favorite to be the second lefty in the bullpen, assuming the Sox do carry two southpaws. He posted a 3.55 ERA and 25/21 K/BB ratio over 38 innings with the Cardinals last season.

Dennys Reyes is expected to report to spring training on Saturday.

Reyes has been delayed due to visa issues in his native Mexico. When he finally gets to camp, Reyes will be in competition for a left-handed specialist spot during spring training. He's currently behind his competition. Reyes had a 3.55 ERA and 25/21 K/BB ratio over 38 innings with the Cardinals last season.

Dennys Reyes is expected to report to spring training on Friday.

Reyes has been delayed due to visa issues in his native Mexico. The veteran left-hander hopes to win a job as a left-handed specialist during spring training, but will be a bit behind his competition. He had a 3.55 ERA and 25/21 K/BB ratio over 38 innings with the Cardinals last season.

Dennys Reyes is having visa issues and may be a day or two late to camp.

Reyes signed a minor league contract with the Red Sox earlier this month. The veteran left-hander is hoping to win a job as a left-handed specialist during spring training. He posted a 3.55 ERA and 25/21 K/BB ratio over 38 innings with St. Louis last season.

Red Sox signed LHP Dennys Reyes to a minor league contract.

The contract also includes an invitation to spring training, where Reyes will attempt to land a job as a left-handed specialist. He would earn a salary of $900,000 if he makes the team and could make an additional $5000,000 in performance-based incentives. Reyes, who turns 34 in April, posted a 3.55 ERA and 25/21 K/BB ratio over 38 innings with the Cardinals last season.

FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Red Sox have agreed to a minor league deal with Dennys Reyes.

Reyes had a major league deal in place with the Phillies earlier this offseason that fell through, so he'll have to settle for a minor league deal. He lands in a good spot, though, as the Red Sox are unsettled on the left side of their bullpen. Reyes, who held a 3.55 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 25/21 K/BB ratio over 38 innings in 2010 with the Cardinals, will compete with a host of relievers for one of the final spots in the pen.

ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that the Red Sox are close to signing Dennys Reyes to a minor league contract.

It's a good fit. The Red Sox at the moment have no reliable left-hander in the bullpen, though they're hoping for a bounce-back from Hideki Okajima. Reyes pitched poorly for the Cardinals in 2010, posting a 3.94 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25/21 K/BB ratio over 38 innings, but he was much better the previous two years and gives the Sox a more reliable option over Andrew Miller and Rich Hill.

Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports that the Phillies have cut off their deal with left-handed reliever Dennys Reyes.

The two sides agreed to a one-year, $1.1 million contract last week that contained a $1.35 million option for 2012. But something must have gone wrong in Reyes' physical. He registered a 3.94 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25/21 K/BB ratio in 50 appearances this past season for St. Louis. Now, for the second time this winter, he is a free agent.
