Reds Infielder To Undergo MRI After Suffering Injury During Game

He's competing for a spot on the 40-man roster.

Matt Reynolds, a non-roster invitee competing for a reserve spot on the Cincinnati Reds' Opening Day roster, has been dealing with multiple injuries this spring.

Matt Reynolds left the game in the 4th inning because of cramping in both legs. Alejo Lopez replaced him as the DH.

He left Saturday's Cactus League game against the San Francisco Giants with a quadriceps cramp, shortly after picking up a single in his only at-bat of the game. Reynolds had also been dealing with back and knee soreness earlier in the spring, which may further hinder his efforts to secure a spot on the roster.

He is set to undergo an MRI this week to assess the extent of his latest injury, and there should be an update on his status later this week.
