Argenis Reyes will arrive with Chris Aguila in St. Louis before today’s game with the Cardinals, to take the roster spots of Carlos Muniz, who will be demoted to Triple-A, and Luis Castillo, who will be placed on the 15–day Disabled List.

Reyes, 25, is hitting .290 with 11 doubles and a .353 OBP in 79 games for Triple-A New Orleans, while hitting .358 in 81 at bats against left-handed pitchers.

In six at bats with the Mets in June, the 29–year-old Aguila had one hit and struck out twice.
