Reynolds was scratched from Friday's lineup and replaced by rookie Esmerlyn Valdez. The Pirates medical staff listed him as day-to-day.
Despite the injury, Reynolds entered Friday's game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning. He delivered a game-tying RBI single, though the Pirates lost 4-3 to the Rockies.
"The leg started bothering me randomly," Reynolds said. "I didn't do anything.
