Reyes, a four-time All-Star, was acquired by the Rockies in July from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for Troy Tulowitzki.

The 32-year-old's wife, Katherine Ramirez, was taken to the Maui Memorial Medical Center with injuries to her thigh, neck and wrist, according to the report.

Hawaii News Now reports Reyes is currently out on bail.
