Left handed relief pitcher Dennys Reyes, who is battling for one of the final Red Sox’s bullpen spots, has accepted the team’s request to extend his opt-out clause date by one day according to Rob Bradford of WEEI.com. Reyes is scheduled to pitch Friday against the Blue Jays. Now he has the option of getting out of his contract with the team if they don’t put him on the Major League roster by Saturday. “It’s a little bit stressful,” said Reyes. “It’s stressful that you’ve been working so hard and you don’t know the answer and have to wait until the last moment. You have to understand that you have to do everything you can, and that’s what I did. I did everything I could and put all my cards on the table. The last decision is going to be up to them.” The lefty signed a Minor League deal with the Red Sox back in February. He is set to make $900,000 if he makes the team and can go up to $1.4 million with performance bonuses. Reyes, 33, was 3-1 with a 3.55 ERA in 59 relief appearances for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2010.
