The Colorado Rockies designated embattled shortstop Jose Reyes for assignment on Wednesday.
Before making the move, the Rockies reinstated Reyes from the restricted list where he had been since being suspended under the league's domestic violence policy.
The Rockies now have 10 days to either trade him, release him or have him accept a demotion to the minors.
Reyes did not participate in spring training and was suspended through May 31 after being charged with domestic violence for an altercation with his wife in Hawaii last October. Prosecutors dropped the charge ahead of a scheduled April 4 trial, saying Reyes' wife was not cooperating.
