Greg Reynolds has signed with the Seibu Lions of Japan's Pacific League, the Denver Post's Troy Renck reports.

With the team fighting for a playoff spot, Reds manager Dusty Baker exercised a short leash with the 28-year-old.

Greg Reynolds gave up three earned runs in eight innings Saturday in a win over the Rockies.

Cincinnati's offense provided a nice early cushion and Reynolds basically cruised, yielding no walks and fanning five. He's been decent in two straight outings for the Reds but standard fantasy owners can probably do better. Reynolds will face the Dodgers next.
