I was looking at a space patch website and noticed multiple versions of the STS-121 crew patch.

One of them had Tracy Caldwell in place of Reiter. I don't recall her being named to that mission... did I miss that?

Caldwell trained briefly with the STS-121 crew but was never officially confirmed to fly with them. The patch you saw was a souvenir or fantasy version of the insignia, having never been made or worn by the STS-121 crew.

See this earlier thread: Tracy Caldwell on the STS-121 patch
