What It Means:

Reyes underwent Tommy John Surgery following the 2016 season, and there was some thought he would be used out of the bullpen when ready to pitch again. Jon Gant will likely be bumped from the rotation with the Cards having to decide on what to do with Reyes when Carlos Martinez returns from injury.

Reyes pitched in 12 MLB games (5 starts) in 2016, posting a 1.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 2.67 FIP with 52 strikeouts in 46 innings pitched.
