Reyes fanned eight batters and limited Fresno to two hits, three walks and no runs over four innings in his debut with Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.
The 21-year-old had been unavailable for the preceding 39 games of the season while finishing out a 50-game suspension levied in November for a positive drug test. While he wasn't given the opportunity to work deep into the game Sunday, Reyes showcased plenty of blow-away strikes and certainly looked every bit of one of the top pitching prospects in the minors. The Cardinals boast solid depth in their rotation and don't have any immediate openings, but Reyes could be near the top of the list for a promotion if another starter were forced to miss a turn due to injury.
