After another outing for Class AAA Memphis in which lack of command appeared to be an issue Thursday night at Omaha, Reyes punched a wall and suffered the broken finger, Cardinals general manager Michael Girsch revealed Sunday.
Reyes, who was optioned to Memphis earlier this month when he had trouble throwing enough strikes at the major-league level, threw only 22 strikes out of 46 pitches on Thursday, although he walked only two and allowed three runs. His progress in returning to the majors has been retarded, according to Girsch, who said that Reyes will go on the minor-league injured list but would continue his throwing program at Jupiter, Fla.
