With a week remaining before opening day, a Cardinals bullpen that has already seen more absences that additions got at least one reinforcement Saturday and some clarity on two other possibilities.
Alex Reyes participated in workouts for the first time Saturday.
The righthander had been in St. Louis since the start of intake testing, but he had not been able to participate in any workouts for the first fortnight of "Summer Camp." The Cardinals offered no reason, and Reyes and his representative declined multiple times to elaborate.
Reyes, wearing his red No. 29 jersey, was in center field shagging fly balls during batting practice when the media arrived at Busch Stadium.
