Reyes, 21, has been pitching for Triple-A Memphis since serving a suspension for a positive drug test at the start of the season. He has a 4.96 ERA in 14 starts and most recently pitched on Saturday, when he went six innings and allowed one run on six hits. He's struck out 93, but also walked 32, over 65 1/3 innings.
That walk rate -- and efficiency issues -- have been cited as reasons why Reyes was not in position for a promotion earlier in the season.
Wacha, who missed part of the 2014 season due to a stress reaction in his right shoulder, is back on the DL for the first time since then. Asked after his five-inning start on Monday if he was healthy, Wacha said: "Yeah. I feel good."

Manager Mike Matheny's answer to that same question, however, telegraphed the move that came one day later.
"Every day we check him out and hope that's always the case," Matheny said of Wacha's health. "Right now, he's trying to feel through some things. We'll just keep our eyes open."
