Reyes signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Reyes elected free agency Friday after being DFA'd by the Yankees, and he won't have to travel far to join his next organization. The 31-year-old infielder slashed .194/.242/.226 over 34 plate appearances during his time in the Bronx and will report to Triple-A Syracuse to begin his tenure with the Mets.

Pablo Reyes: Entering free agency
Rotowire
Reyes elected free agency Friday in lieu of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.
Reyes was jettisoned from the Yankees' 40-man roster Monday in order to make room for the returning Giancarlo Stanton. Reyes was initially outrighted to Triple-A after clearing waivers Wednesday, but he will instead hit the free-agent market and look to a join a team in need of veteran depth in the infield. Reyes appeared in 25 games for the Yankees this season and slashed .194/.242/.226 with one steal and two RBI in 34 plate appearances.

Yankees' Pablo Reyes: Added to roster
Rotowire
The Yankees selected Reyes' contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
Reyes earned his spot on the Yankees' Opening Day roster through an excellent performance in the Grapefruit League, slashing .311/.418/.467 with five RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases through 55 plate appearances. He figures to come off the bench most days while in the Bronx, but his ability to play every position in the field improves his chances of occasionally cracking the starting lineup. Jake Cousins (elbow) was placed on the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Yankees' Pablo Reyes: Making push for roster spot
Rotowire
Reyes appears to have surpassed Oswald Peraza on the Yankees' depth chart and is a "strong candidate" to make the team's Opening Day roster, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Reyes would fill two needs -- a right-handed bench bat and a player capable of playing both third base and left field -- if he makes the Yankees' roster. The 32-year-old has also had an excellent spring, as a perfect 3-for-3 day at the plate Monday lifted his slash line to .326/.434/.488. Unlike Peraza (who is slashing just .167/.273/.188 this spring), Reyes isn't currently on the 40-man roster, but Kirschner speculates that New York may end of designating Peraza for assignment, as he's out of minor-league options. If Reyes does get a spot on the Opening Day roster, he'd be unlikely to play every day but could get semi-regular opportunities given his ability to play across both the infield and outfield.

Yankees' Pablo Reyes: Inks minors deal with NYY
Rotowire
The Yankees signed Reyes to a minor-league contract Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The 31-year-old utility player hit .287/.339/.377 as a part-timer in Boston in 2023 but slashed only .183/.234/.217 between the Red Sox and Mets in 2024. Reyes has started a game at every position on the diamond other than catcher and pitcher, so he will bring plenty of versatility to the table as a depth piece for the Yankees.

Mets' Pablo Reyes: Handed outright assignment
Rotowire
The Mets outrighted Reyes to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The Mets DFA'd Reyes on Monday, and the shortstop has elected to remain in the Mets organization after clearing waivers. The 30-year-old was traded from Boston to New York in May, but he's yet to log an at-bat for the Metropolitans.

Mets' Pablo Reyes: Removed from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Mets designated Reyes for assignment Monday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Reyes was with the Mets for one week and appeared in just one game as a pinch runner. He was replaced on the 40-man roster and 28-man active roster by fellow utility player Eddy Alvarez, whom the Mets acquired from the Red Sox on Sunday.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Remains in organization
Rotowire
The Red Sox outrighted Reyes to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Reyes no longer has a spot on the 40-man roster, but he'll remain in the organization as utility depth. He's put up a .183/.234/.217 batting line over 61 plate appearances with the big club in 2024.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Starts at third base
Rotowire
Reyes started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Cleveland.
Reyes filled in for the injured Rafael Devers (knee) and committed a costly error that allowed one of three unearned runs to score. Reyes also couldn't get a ball out of his glove quick enough to start a 5-4-3 double, which allowed another run to score. Per Ian Browne of MLB.com, the Red Sox are hoping to avoid having to put Devers on the injured list, which suggests a fill-in will be needed for more than just Thursday's contest. Reyes and Bobby Dalbec are the primary candidates to play third base should Devers need an stint on the IL.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Fills in at second base
Rotowire
Reyes replaced an injured Enmanuel Valdez (thumb) at second base and went 1-for-1 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Angels.
Reyes is the likely fill-in at second base if Valdez's injury requires downtime. A post-game evaluation indicated Valdez's injury is just a bruised thumb, but he could need some time to heal.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Starts at shortstop
Rotowire
Reyes started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Angels.
Reyes got the start after the Red Sox placed primary shortstop Trevor Story on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated left shoulder. The fill-in shortstop had an issue during the Angels' two-run sixth-inning; Reyes was unable to get the ball out of his glove in time to get a force-out at second base that would have ended the inning. It's not clear if he's the long-term solution to replace Story, who could have a lengthy absence, as the Red Sox summoned David Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Replacement at short
Rotowire
Reyes entered Friday's game in the fourth inning after Trevor Story left with a shoulder injury, finishing 0-for-2 with a walk.
Story's injury appears to be a significant one, and an MRI on Saturday should confirm the severity. It's unclear if Reyes, a journeyman infielder with his fourth team in six years, will be the solution at short if Story lands on the injured list. The Red Sox have options, including moving Ceddanne Rafaela from center to short, where he has 71 starts while in the minors. Vaughn Grissom (groin), who is on the injured list, has played shortstop in the the past. David Hamilton, who made his major-league debut in 2023, could be an option.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Fills in at third base
Rotowire
Reyes started at third base and went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to Seattle.
Reyes started in place of Rafael Devers (shoulder), who is expected to return Sunday after missing two games. Bobby Dalbec filled in at the hot corner Friday. Reyes has appeared in all three games thus far and is the likely starter at second base when a left-hander is on the mound. That should be the case until Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) is ready to return.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Appears in first two games
Rotowire
Reyes went 1-for-2 as a pinch hitter and second baseman in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Mariners.
Reyes pinch hit for second baseman Enmanuel Valdez against a left-hander in the seventh inning and ripped a sinker down and away to right field for a single. It marked the second straight game Reyes pinch hit for Valdez against a lefty and went on to finish the game at second. While Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) is sidelined, it looks like a strict platoon at second, where Valdez starts against righties and Reyes against lefties. The Red Sox face righty Logan Gilbert on Saturday.

Reyes will sit Saturday against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Reyes had been slated to return Monday before that game got rained out. He will not be activated for the makeup game Tuesday afternoon, but it appears he'll be added prior to the nightcap.

Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Will be activated Monday
Rotowire
Reyes (elbow) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, MLB.com reports.
Reyes kicked off a rehab assignment Saturday and will remain with Triple-A Worcester through the weekend. He's been an unlikely factor for the Red Sox in 2023, posting a .303 average in 51 games, but as Boston's playoff hopes dim, the 30-year-old is not expected to have a large role to finish out the season.
