Reynolds made his Major League Baseball debut on May 11, 2008, in a 6-1 road loss against the San Diego Padres.[3] He allowed four earned runs on six hits and struck out one batter in 5.2 innings.
On June 7, 2008, Reynolds picked up his first career win and hit as a pitcher, in a 7-2 home victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.[4] He pitched six innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits, with no strikeouts. His first career hit, a double, occurred in the bottom of the second inning off Brewers pitcher Dave Bush.
In 2009, Reynolds appeared in just 1 game due to injury. In 2010, he split time between Double-A and AAA, compiling a record of 8-6 in 19 starts.
