Jun 27 2025Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a double, a three-run homer and an additional run scored during Friday's 9-1 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds crossed home plate in the fifth before extending the Pirates' lead to seven runs in the sixth on a three-run homer to right field off Blade Tidwell. Reynolds has struggled at the plate for most of June, but he has started to heat up and has four multi-hit games over his last five starts.
Jun 22 2025Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a walk Sunday against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds made his return from paternity leave Saturday and was just 1-for-27 across his last eight games entering Sunday's contest. While it was a relatively unremarkable performance, Reynolds did manage his first three-hit game since May 31. Across 59 at-bats in June, Reynolds has only 11 hits with three runs scored, five RBI and one home run.
Jun 21 2025The Pirates reinstated Reynolds from the paternity list Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After spending three days away from the team to welcome a new addition to his family, Reynolds will return to the starting nine Saturday. Billy Cook was sent back to Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.
Jun 18 2025The Pirates placed Reynolds (personal) on the paternity list Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds left the team to observe the birth of his child and must miss at least one game and no more than three while he's on the paternity list. The Pirates recalled Billy Cook from Triple-A Indianapolis to serve as a short-term replacement for Reynolds on the 26-man active roster.
Jun 17 2025The Pirates are expected to place Reynolds on the paternity list Wednesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds was pulled from Tuesday's contest in the second inning to be with his wife, who had gone into labor during the game. The 30-year-old outfielder will be allowed to miss up to three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family; meanwhile, Alexander Canario figures to benefit from a few additional starts in the outfield.
Jun 9 2025Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a three-run triple in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was the second triple of the year from Reynolds, who's beginning to find a groove at the plate after struggling at the plate most of the season. Across his last 21 outings, the 30-year-old outfielder is hitting .338 (26-for-77) with three homers, four doubles, 19 RBI and six runs scored. Reynolds has seven multi-hit games and six multi-RBI efforts during this stretch.
Jun 7 2025Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI against the Phillies on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds accounted for both of Pittsburgh's first two runs with an RBI single in the first inning, followed by a solo home run two frames later for his eighth long ball of the year. While his ISO is still just .145 and well off the pace of his past seasons, Reynolds has been picking up his performance recently. Across his last 10 games, he is hitting .368 with a pair of long balls, nine RBI and three runs scored.
May 31 2025Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds is 10-for-17 with four extra-base hits and seven RBI across his last four games. The outfielder endured a 2-for-45 stretch of 11 games from May 3-14, but he's been held hitless just twice over his last 13 contests to provide a big turnaround in his performance. Overall, he's still at an underwhelming .237/.304/.379 slash line with seven home runs, 34 RBI, 21 runs scored, nine doubles, a triple and three stolen bases over 56 games. It's good to see him carry some momentum as the calendar flips to June.
May 27 2025Reynolds went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds had a fantastic game, which is something that hasn't been said often about him this season. He delivered the go-ahead hit to complete the comeback, a three-run homer in the eighth inning. The outfielder has gone 13-for-36 (.361) over his last 10 games, adding four extra-base hits and 10 RBI in that span. For the season, he's at a .223/.292/.360 slash line with seven long balls, 30 RBI, 21 runs scored, eight doubles and three stolen bases through 53 contests.
May 26 2025Reynolds (undisclosed) is batting third and playing right field for Monday's game against Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds was absent from Sunday's lineup after experiencing what Pirates' general manager Ben Cherington called "a little tightness in the trunk." Despite the vague injury, Reynolds is feeling good enough to roam right field for Monday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.
May 25 2025Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said that Reynolds is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers after experiencing "a little tightness in the trunk" upon reporting to PNC Park, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pittsburgh is seemingly viewing Reynolds as day-to-day, but if the issue ends up keeping him out of action beyond Sunday, a stint on the injured list could become a possibility. With Reynolds on the bench, Tommy Pham will enter the Pirates' outfield.
May 17 2025Reynolds went 2-for-3 with with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds saved the Pirates from a shutout with a two-run blast off Tanner Banks in the ninth inning. The homer was a much-needed boost for the 30-year-old, who entered Saturday in a 2-for-40 slump over his previous 10 games. On the season, he's slashing a disappointing .202/.269/.331 with six home runs, 22 RBI, 17 runs scored and three steals across 197 plate appearances.
May 16 2025Reynolds is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Phillies on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds will get a breather Friday after going 0-for-21 with one RBI and seven strikeouts over his last five games. Alexander Canario, Matt Gorski and Tommy Pham will serve in the outfield for Pittsburgh on Friday.
May 1 2025Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo homer and an additional RBI during Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The outfielder started the scoring with a solo shot in the opening frame and delivered an RBI groundout in the eighth for his sixth multi-RBI effort of the season. Reynolds has gone 3-for-8 with a double and a homer in the past two games after going hitless across his previous four contests.
Apr 19 2025Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 10-7 loss to the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Cleveland surged ahead 10-2 in the top of the seventh inning, Reynolds sparked a late comeback attempt with his two-out solo shot off Tim Herrin in the bottom of the frame. The 30-year-old outfielder had gone hitless over his prior three games, and he continues to have trouble making consistent contact -- his other two at-bats Friday resulted in strikeouts, and his 34.1 percent K rate through 20 contests is by far a career worst -- but Reynolds is still providing a steady fantasy floor, batting .270 (10-for-37) over his last 10 games with two homers, five RBI and five runs.
Apr 17 2025Reynolds (triceps) will start in right field and bat second in Thursday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds will be making his first start in the outfield since March 30, as he had been limited exclusively to designated-hitter duties over the past two and a half weeks while managing right triceps soreness. The 30-year-old was apparently able to resume a throwing program without issue in recent days, and the Pirates are now comfortable enough with his health to have him play defense again. Pittsburgh had been getting by with a committee of Andrew McCutchen, Jack Suwinski and Alexander Canario in right field, but assuming Reynolds is ready to play in the outfield on a regular basis moving forward, McCutchen will likely end up seeing the bulk of the starts at DH.
Apr 15 2025Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds remains limited to designated-hitter duties as he manages triceps soreness, though he has started to show some life at the plate. He has a modest four-game hitting streak, but the fantasy impact has been minimal as his only counting stats in that span came during Monday's performance.
Apr 9 2025Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds got the Cardinals on the board with a solo home run in the fourth. The 30-year-old now has four extra-base hits and four RBI over his last four games, though he's striking out at a 31.4 percent clip early on in the season, which is much higher than his career average.
Apr 7 2025Reynolds is out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the first day off this season for Reynolds, who is still not ready to play the outfield as he deals with right triceps soreness. Alexander Canario is getting the call in right field Monday while Andrew McCutchen serves as the Pirates' designated hitter.
Apr 6 2025Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said prior to Sunday's 5-4 11-inning win over the Yankees that Reynolds isn't expected to begin a throwing program until later this week while he manages right triceps soreness and will remain limited to serving as a designated hitter for the time being, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds, who went 1-for-5 with two RBI on Sunday, has served as the Pirates' DH for six straight games. The Pirates aren't concerned that the injury will be a long-term concern for Reynolds, and his fantasy outlook shouldn't change dramatically in the short term while he's available to fill the DH spot. Rather than Reynolds himself, his injury has had a more negative effect on the fantasy value of Andrew McCutchen, who has made just a pair of starts in right field in the Pirates' last six games. The Pirates likely aren't eager to give McCutchen regular playing time in the outfield, so he's expected to continue sharing right field with Jack Suwinski until Reynolds completes his throwing program.
Apr 4 2025Reynolds went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds continues to be limited to designated hitter while battling triceps soreness that affects his throwing. It's not enough to keep him away from the plate, and he was able to smack his first homer of the season when he went deep off Max Fried in the third inning. Reynolds is batting just .194 with three RBI, two runs scored and one stolen base across eight contests, but he should continue to play regularly as long as his triceps issue doesn't get worse.
Apr 2 2025Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Reynolds has been dealing with right triceps soreness that has impacting his throwing, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It helps explain why Reynolds has been in the designated hitter spot for three straight games and four of the last five contests, as his hitting is not affected. Reynolds has started all seven games so far and it does not sound like the triceps issue will keep out of the lineup. However, it has affected the playing time of Andrew McCutchen, who has been out of the lineup for three straight contests.
Feb 18 2025Reynolds said Tuesday that he's focusing on being a right fielder rather than potentially seeing some time at first base, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds began working out at first base in September as the Pirates kicked around the idea of using him there at least on a part-time basis. However, even after the injury to Spencer Horwitz (wrist/thumb), it does not sound like Reynolds is being considered as an option to play first base. Fantasy leaguers should not be counting on the 30-year-old gaining dual eligibility.
Feb 12 2025Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Tuesday that Reynolds will remain focused on playing the outfield even after the injury to first baseman Spencer Horwitz (wrist), Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Horwitz underwent right wrist/thumb surgery last week and is expected to be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks. Earlier this offseason, the Pirates discussed using Reynolds some at first base, prior to their acquisition of Horwitz. While Reynolds could still eventually see some time at the position, it does not appear he will be one of the prime candidates to fill in there while Horwitz is on the mend. Jared Triolo, Billy Cook and Darick Hall loom as the in-house options to man first base while Horwitz is out.
Dec 5 2024The Pirates plan to play Reynolds at first base, at least on a part-time basis, in 2025, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has never played first base in pro ball, but he began working out there in September of this past season. The soon-to-be 30-year-old graded out as one of the worst outfield defenders in baseball in 2024, ranking in the first percentile in Outs Above Average. How much action Reynolds ultimately sees at first base could depend not only on how well he takes to the position but also how the Pirates address the position this offseason.
Sep 28 2024Reynolds went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds tied the game at 2-2 with his solo shot in the sixth inning. He then drilled a go-ahead two-run shot in the eighth. Reynolds snapped a 21-game homerless drought, during which he posted a disappointing .580 OPS. He's up to 24 home runs, matching his total from both 2023 and 2021. Reynolds is slashing .276/.344/.450 through 683 plate appearances.
Sep 22 2024Reynolds is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This looks like a breather for Reynolds, who is in the midst of a 3-for-23 cold spell. After totaling 18 home runs in the first half, Reynolds has hit just four homers since the All-Star break, and none since Sept. 2. Billy Cook will get the start in left field, batting ninth against right-hander Hunter Greene.
Sep 14 2024Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI on Friday against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds recorded his third consecutive multi-hit game and second straight start with a pair of doubles. He hasn't homered since Sept. 2 but has still managed seven RBI and five runs scored while hitting .263 in his last 10 games.
Sep 6 2024Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Thursday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds logged his fourth stolen base in his last 13 games to reach 10 for the season. He remains a very steady contributor overall, as he now has 22 or more home runs in each of the last four seasons and has double-digit steals in each of the last two campaigns.
Sep 2 2024Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk Monday in a 5-3 victory versus the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Pittsburgh was shut out by Jameson Taillon through seven frames before Reynolds turned the tide of the contest in the eighth with a three-run homer off reliever Jorge Lopez to knot the score. The long ball was his 21st of the season, moving him to within five homers of reaching the career-high mark of 27 he set in 2022. Reynolds has gone deep three times in his past seven games and is batting .333 (9-for-27) with six RBI, five walks and two stolen bases over that span.
Aug 28 2024Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs, finishing with three runs scored and two RBI. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds took Kyle Hendricks deep in the opening frame for his 21st home run of the year and his second over his past three games. Reynolds drove in another run on an RBI single in the second before coming around to score -- one of three runs scored by Reynolds. The 29-year-old has been very consistent as the Pirates number-two hitter this season, posting a .282 batting average with 21 home runs, 62 runs scored, 74 RBI and seven stolen bases in 129 games.
Aug 18 2024Reynolds (back) is serving as the designated hitter and batting second in Sunday's game against Seattle, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds sat out of Saturday's contest due to a sore lower back, but he's back in the lineup for the series finale. Since the All-Star break, he's slashing .282/.365/.365 with 10 runs scored, one home run, eight RBI and a 30.2 percent strikeout rate across 95 plate appearances.
Aug 17 2024Reynolds is absent from Saturday's lineup against Seattle. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has gone 0-for-8 with one run scored and five strikeouts over his last two games. He'll take a seat Saturday while Bryan De La Cruz starts in left field.
Aug 14 2024Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's loss to the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds' eighth-inning double was his first extra-base hit since Aug. 4. He's been one of the few consistent hitters in the Pittsburgh lineup over the course of the season and has been hitting exceptionally well over the last month. Since July 13, Reynolds is slashing .353/.433/.471 with two homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs. For the year, the 29-year-old All-Star is slashing .288/.355/.473 with 19 homers, 69 RBI, 54 runs, six steals and a 43:114 BB:K in 516 plate appearances.
Aug 3 2024Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored and two RBI on Friday against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds started his fourth consecutive game since returning from the bereavement list and tallied his first RBI in that span. He's also struck out multiple times in three of those four contests, though his rate for the season is only 21.5 percent.
Jul 29 2024Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds missed four games while on the bereavement list. He was dealing with a minor back injury prior to that. The outfielder's steal was his sixth of the campaign and his first since June 4. Reynolds has added a .288/.354/.483 slash line, 18 home runs, 61 RBI, 49 runs scored, 20 doubles and three triples through 102 contests.
Jul 25 2024The Pirates placed Reynolds (back) on the bereavement list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds was expected to return to action Friday against the Diamondbacks after being scratched from Wednesday's lineup due back spasms, but he'll instead step away from the team for the next few days to be with his family. The Pirates will add another player to the roster for Friday's game at Arizona.
Jul 24 2024Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Wednesday that Reynolds (back) is fine and will travel with the club for its road trip that begins Friday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds had to be scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the Cardinals after his back locked up on him when he was getting out of the car earlier in the day. However, Shelton said it was mostly a matter of the day game not giving Reynolds enough time to get loose and that the outfielder was moving around normally by the time the contest was over. It sounds like Reynolds should be back in the lineup Friday in Arizona following the club's scheduled off day Thursday.
Jul 14 2024Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored during Sunday's 9-4 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 4-for-5 at the dish Saturday, Reynolds added another pair of hits Sunday, including an eighth-inning homer off John Brebbia. The outfielder enters the All-Star break with a .284/.347/.487 slash line. He ranks 11th in OPS and ninth in home runs (18) among National League players.
Jul 13 2024Reynolds went 4-for-5 with four RBI in Saturday's 6-2 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds tallied four singles Saturday and drove in multiple runs in the seventh and ninth innings. The outfielder has cooled off a bit, having gone just 3-for-20 over his previous five contests entering Saturday, but he rebounded with his fifth multi-hit effort in July. The two-time All-Star is batting .281 with 17 home runs, 60 RBI, 42 runs scored and five steals over 424 plate appearances this season.
Jul 9 2024Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds already has four homers and 10 RBI over eight games in July, continuing his surge that lasted nearly all of June. The outfielder is batting .331 since the start of June, with 10 long balls over 34 contests in that span. He's up to 17 homers, 56 RBI, 42 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .280/.344/.486 slash line through 91 games as the centerpiece of the Pirates' offense this season.
Jul 5 2024Reynolds went 4-for-5 with two home runs, six RBI and three runs scored in a 14-2 win over the Mets on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds gave the Pirates the lead on a two-run home run in the fifth inning, then broke things open with a grand slam in the seventh. He hit .330 with six homers in June and has carried his power stroke into July with three long balls and eight RBI through four games. On the year, the outfielder is hitting .280 with 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 39 runs scored and five steals over 390 plate appearances.

He's carried a hot bat since the beginning of June, slashing .319/.372/.588 with seven homers and 18 RBI over his last 29 contests.
Jun 30 2024Reynolds went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 4-2 win against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds didn't get the ball out of the infield Sunday, recording a pair of groundouts to go with two strikeouts. His 25-game hitting streak is the longest in MLB this season and the fifth longest by a Pirates player since 1900. He entered June with a .249/.320/.402 slash line and finishes at .274/.341/.466. The 29-year-old has 13 homers, 46 RBI and five stolen bases for the season.
Jun 26 2024Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Tuesday against the Reds.

Jun 23 2024Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds extended his hitting streak to 20 games with an infield single in the first, then later tied the game with a fourth-inning blast that just cleared the wall in right. It was the 12th home run for Reynolds, who has collected five of those during this current hit streak that spans the entirety of the month of June.
Jun 22 2024Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Friday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds was in jeopardy of having his hitting streak snapped but smacked his 11th homer of the season to begin the eighth inning. He now has a hit in 18 consecutive games, a stretch in which he's batting .342 with four long balls, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored.
Jun 19 2024Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds snapped a scoreless tie with two outs in the eighth inning, launching a Nick Martinez changeup over the centerfield fence to provide the only offense in a 1-0 Pirates win. The 29-year-old Reynolds has been red hot at the plate -- he extended his hit streak to 17 games, going 24-for-70 (.343) with 11 extra-base hits in that span. His slash line is up to .271/.337/.448 on the year with 10 homers, 40 RBI, 30 runs scored and five stolen bases across 332 plate appearances.

He's also tallied three home runs, 12 RBI and a stolen base in that span. Reynolds has hit second in every game this season and should remain a steady contributor across all five categories.
May 22 2024Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a grand slam during Wednesday's 9-5 loss to the Giants in 10 innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds clobbered his second-career grand slam Wednesday, bringing Joey Bart, Michael Taylor and Andrew McCutchen in to score and give the Pirates a 5-0 lead.

May 19 2024Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has swiped two bags over his last three games, and he's hit safely in five straight contests (6-for-21). The outfielder isn't one to run a lot -- he had a career-high 12 steals in 145 games last season, so he's roughly on track to match that number in 2024 after picking up his fourth theft of the campaign Sunday. Reynolds has added a .254/.341/.407 slash line with five home runs, 20 RBI, 18 runs scored, 12 doubles and a triple through 48 contests overall.
May 13 2024Reynolds went 5-for-5 with a home run, two doubles and two RBI in Monday's win over the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds was unstoppable Monday. He had four hits through seven innings, including an RBI double in the third, before capping off his big night with a solo shot to lead off the ninth. He snapped a 13-game homerless drought, during which he registered an ugly .526 OPS. Reynolds improved his slash line to .256/.351/.427 with 17 extra-base hits and 19 RBI through 188 plate appearances.
Apr 28 2024Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds went down on strikes in his first two trips to the plate before hitting a single in the top of the eighth. He then jumped on the first pitch he saw from Tyler Rogers in the 10th and sent it into the stands in left field for a two-run shot, putting the Pirates up 3-1. It marked the ninth multi-hit effort this season for Reynolds, who's now homered in two of his last four contests. On the downside, he's also struck out twice in three of those four games.
Apr 25 2024Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Brewers.

It's the third homer of the year for Reynolds and his first extra-base hit in 13 games.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds had been dealing with a back issue in the days leading up to Opening Day, but started in his customary left field and crushed a 2-1 pitch over the left-center field wall in the third inning to knot the game at two. Reynolds later doubled off Anthony Bender to earn the two-hit effort. Reynolds, an all-star in 2021, looks to be healthy as the Pirates were able to begin the season on a positive note.

Mar 4 2024Reynolds is expecting to improve his production in 2024 thanks to the return of Oneil Cruz, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has been a consistent producer and managed to top 80 RBI and runs scored last season even with Cruz missing most of the season. He batted almost exclusively second in the order in 2023 and is projected to bat in the same spot heading into the 2024 campaign. That will likely put him between Cruz and Ke'Bryan Hayes in the order, giving the top of the lineup the potential to be plenty productive.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds had a .772 OPS over 26 games in September and will head to the bench for Pittsburgh's final game of the season.

His season OPS is back up to .801 with 43 extra-base hits across 450 plate appearances.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds doubled in a run during the second inning and later hammered a solo shot in the sixth. It's been an up-and-down year for the 28-year-old outfielder but he's starting to heat up, Over his last eight games, Reynolds has gone 14-for-34 (.412) with three homers and seven runs scored. His slash line has improved to .268/.328/.449 with 38 extra-base hits through 411 plate appearances.
Jul 27 2023Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds took Seth Lugo deep in the fourth inning for his 11th home run of the season. It was his second homer in his last four games and fourth in his last 22 starts. That provides some hope that his power is bouncing back, though he is hitting only .193 with nine RBI and eight runs scored in that same 22-game span. Reynolds has taken a step back in nearly every offensive metric and has managed only a 103 wRC+ across 380 plate appearances on the campaign.
Jul 5 2023Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds went 0-for-8 in his first two games back from the injured list, but he's gone 3-for-9 over his last two contests.

Jul 2 2023Reynolds (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old was previously expected to rejoin the active roster Friday, and he's now officially been activated two days later. It was a relatively brief absence for Reynolds, who has been sidelined since June 19 due to lower-back inflammation. He had a .268/.406/.393 slash line and one home run, four RBI and seven runs through 16 games in June prior to the injury.
Jun 30 2023Reynolds (back) is not in Friday's lineup against the Brewers.

Manager Derek Shelton said Saturday will be an important day to see how Reynolds feels, and the team will proceed from there.
Jun 29 2023Reynolds (back) took on-field batting practice Thursday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has also been making throws from the outfield without issue and looks to be on track to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday versus the Brewers. The 28-year-old had slashed .279/.350/.472 with eight homers, 40 RBI, eight steals and 38 runs scored through 68 games when he landed on the IL last week with lower-back inflammation.
Jun 28 2023Reynolds (back) said he's aiming to be activated from the injured list Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: That is the first day that Reynolds is eligible to be brought off the 10-day IL. Nearing the end of his recovery from a bout of lower back inflammation, he swung the bat Tuesday without issue and is going to throw on the field Wednesday. The 28-year-old outfielder should be ready to rock for Pirates ahead of their weekend series against the Brewers.
Jun 22 2023The Pirates placed Reynolds on the 10-day injured list Thursday with lower back inflammation, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Derek Shelton said Tuesday that Reynolds wouldn't need to be placed on the injured list, but that has apparently changed over the last 48 hours. Reynolds is slashing .279/.350/.473 through 294 plate appearances this season and will now sit out until at least the beginning of July.
Jun 21 2023Reynolds (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though manager Derek Shelton expressed optimism Tuesday that Reynolds will avoid a stint on the 10-day injured list due to his tight lower back, the outfielder will be relegated to the bench for the second day in a row. Josh Palacios will spell Reynolds in left field once again.
Jun 20 2023Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Tuesday that Reynolds (back) is not going on the injured list, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds is not in the Pirates' starting lineup Tuesday night against the Cubs because of lower back tightness, but it's apparently relatively minor. "That was news to me," Shelton said of the chatter that Reynolds would require an IL stint for an oblique injury. Consider the 28-year-old outfielder day-to-day.
Jun 15 2023Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a double and three runs scored in Wednesday's 10-6 loss against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has now hit safely in seven straight games, though Wednesday's three-hit performance was his first multi-hit effort since June 4. The 28-year-old outfielder has continued to struggle in the power department -- he has just two home runs since April 7 after blasting five in his first seven games. Still, Reynolds is having a solid season in Pittsburgh, slashing .286/.354/.477 with 38 RBI, 37 runs scored and eight steals through 274 plate appearances.
Jun 1 2023Reynolds went 1-for-5 with three RBI on Wednesday against the Giants.

Despite hitting only .233, he now has 13 RBI and eight runs scored across his last 11 games.

He has maintained a .282 average across 225 plate appearances on the season.
May 30 2023Reynolds is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's a day of rest for Reynolds, who has slashed a relatively disappointing .245/.317/.426 in the month of May over 94 at-bats. Jack Suwinski is playing left field with Ji Hwan Bae getting the start in center.
May 26 2023Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, a walk, four RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 11-6 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds came up a double shy of the cycle in a fantastic performance. All three of his hits came in the last five innings as the Pirates took over the contest. The star outfielder has just nine RBI this month, but they've all come in his last seven games. For the season, he's slashing a strong .292/.343/.514 with seven homers, 32 RBI, 29 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 16 doubles and two triples through 48 contests.
May 20 2023Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored Friday against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds popped a three-run homer in the fifth inning, his sixth long ball of the season and first since April 7. He hit a respectable .261 in that span but tallied only 14 RBI and 16 runs scored in 35 games. Despite the slow stretch, Reynolds has struck out at only 19.3 percent clip and still possesses a .215 ISO for the season -- providing hope his production will return.
May 17 2023Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored Wednesday against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds tallied hits in each of his last three at-bats to record his first multi-hit game since May 2. In 13 games since, he's hit just .226 with no RBI and six runs scored.

May 15 2023Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds reached base on a dropped third strike in the third inning and came around to score. He also reached base after being hit by a pitch in the ninth inning and swiped second base to tally his stolen bag of the season.

May 3 2023Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a double and two walks Tuesday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds had a busy day at the plate and extended his hitting streak to seven games.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds had a double and a sacrifice fly in Game 1 before reaching base in all four of his plate appearances in the nightcap. The talented outfielder pushed his season slash line to .313/.348/.566 with the big day at the plate. Reynolds went through a three-game 0-for-10 stretch at the plate last week but has since bounced back by going 8-for-17 over his subsequent five contests.
Apr 27 2023Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds drove in Pittsburgh's first run Thursday, driving in Tucupita Marcano with a base hit. He'd steal third base later in the inning before scoring on a Rodolfo Castro sacrifice fly. Reynolds has looked worthy of his newly-signed eight-year extension early this season, playing a major role in the Pirates' surprising start. The 28-year-old outfielder is slashing .301/.330/.548 with five home runs, 12 runs scored and 20 RBI through his first 103 plate appearances.
Apr 5 2023Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old has hit safely in six straight games to begin the season, going 10-for-24 (.417) with two doubles, four homers, six runs and seven RBI, but Wednesday's pilfer was his first of the year. Reynolds went 7-for-10 in that category in 2022, but he's one of the players who could see a significant bump in steals this season thanks to MLB's rule changes to boost the running game.
Apr 3 2023Reynolds went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and an additional run scored Monday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: That's three home runs in the last two days for Reynolds, who is in the midst of contract extension talks with the Pirates. He touched up Kutter Crawford for the pair of long balls and is off to a very productive start to the season, hitting .353 with four runs, four RBI and three home runs through 18 plate appearances.
Mar 31 2023The inclusion of an opt-out clause is the sticking point in contract extension negotiations between Reynolds and the Pirates, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The good news is the two sides have come to an agreement on the financial terms of a long-term deal with a package of about $106 million, Biertempfel says. Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette hears that the $106 million figure would cover eight years and would start in 2023. Reynolds has expressed a willingness to back-load the contract and because he's also relented more than the club on the dollar ask, he wants the Pirates to include an opt-out clause. Pittsburgh has historically been opposed to including opt-outs in contracts, but it's possible they might make an exception here. Biertempfel intimates that the Pirates might like to have a deal in place prior to their home opener on April 7. Reynolds -- who is currently under team control through 2025 -- requested a trade back in December when negotiations fell apart, but it seems there's real momentum for a deal now if the two sides can overcome the opt-out hurdle.
Mar 29 2023Manager Derek Shelton said Reynolds will start in left field in the Pirates' season opener Thursday versus the Reds, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Pirates had indicated with their words and also actions this spring that Reynolds was likely shifting over to left field, which allows Jack Suwinski to handle center. Though Reynolds projects to see the bulk of his starts in left this season, Shelton noted that the 28-year-old could play center on some days. The Pirates are reportedly still trying to sign Reynolds to a contract extension following his offseason trade request.
Mar 12 2023Reynolds has been using a heavier bat during spring training to try to improve his timing, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds is using a bat with a larger handle to counterbalance the weight. It's unclear exactly how long he's opted for the new style of bat, though he's homered in consecutive games after going yard in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta. While he requested a trade this offseason, Reynolds will be the leader of Pittsburgh's outfield so long as he remains with the team.
Feb 28 2023Reynolds said Tuesday that he's open to playing more left field this year, Kevin Gorman of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: That would allow the rangier Jack Suwinski to potentially take over in center field. "I think I grade out better in left, anyway, so that'll be better for everybody," Reynolds told reporters at Pirates camp. "In the past, I've been good in left." Reynolds requested a trade out of Pittsburgh over the winter, but it has yet to come to fruition as of late February. And it sounds like he might indeed be in left field -- not center -- for the Pirates when the regular season gets underway.
Oct 5 2022Reynolds isn't starting Wednesday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds is in the midst of a three-game hitting streak in which he's gone 5-for-13 with a home run, two doubles, two runs, two RBI, two walks and two strikeouts. However, he'll be on the bench for Wednesday's season finale while Ji Hwan Bae starts in center field and bats ninth.
Oct 2 2022Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-5 victory over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds went hitless in his first three at-bats Sunday, but he came through with a big solo home run in the seventh inning to put the Pirates up 7-5 and provide a much-needed insurance run. He also reached on an infield single in the ninth inning but did not score. The home run was his 27th of the season, three higher than the career high he set in 2021 despite playing in 16 fewer games to this point. Over 604 plate appearances this season, Reynolds is slashing .260/.343/.459.
Sep 26 2022Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Sunday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds took Adrian Sampson deep in the sixth inning to tally his 26th homer of the season.

Overall this season, Reynolds has maintained a .265/.344/.463 line across 569 plate appearances.
Sep 23 2022Reynolds went 3-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, an RBI and a stolen base Thursday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds put together a big performance, reaching base in all five of his plate appearances while also bringing his double total on the season to 17. He's hitting .304 across 20 games in September, and he's also delivered three homers, nine RBI and seven runs scored in that span. For the season, Reynolds has maintained a .263/.342/.457 line across 564 plate appearances.

The home run was his third in his last eight games and 24th on the season, which ties the career high he set in 2021. In his last 15 games, he is batting .333 (20-for-60) with three home runs, eight RBI and seven runs scored.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old switch hitter took Luis Cessa deep for a solo shot in the fifth inning of the matinee, his 23rd homer of the year, before going 0-for-3 with a walk in the nightcap.

Sep 9 2022Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI on Friday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds tallied an RBI single in the fifth inning to drive in his 50th run of the season. Two frames later he delivered his 15th double of the campaign, which marked his first extra-base hit in nine starts prior to Friday's matchup. He had still managed to hit .294 in that span, but had just one RBI and one run scored to show for it. For the season, Reynolds has maintained a .340 wOBA and 118 wRC+ while also chipping in 21 homers and six steals across 506 plate appearances.
Sep 8 2022Reynolds went 2-for-6 with a stolen base across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader as the Pirates got swept by the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both hits came in the nightcap, but the steal came in the matinee as Reynolds reached on a fielder's choice in the sixth inning before swiping second base. The switch-hitting outfielder set a career high with his sixth stolen base of the season, but he hasn't supplied much other production lately -- despite batting a solid .289 (11-for-38) over his last 10 games, Reynolds has just one RBI and two runs scored to show for it.
Aug 27 2022Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds took Bailey Falter yard in the fourth inning to record his 21st homer of the season. He's now tallied five long balls in his last 11 games, driving in 13 and scoring 10 runs in that span. Despite the lack of support around him in the lineup, Reynolds has maintained a fairly impressive .254/.336/.460 line across 455 plate appearances on the season.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds powered Pittsburgh's offense Sunday, plating two on a double in the fifth and connecting on a three-run home run in the seventh in addition to tacking on a single in the ninth and a HBP in the first. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a scorching start to August with a .319/.439/.500 slash line, two homers, three doubles and two stolen bases through 13 games.

Over his last five games, the 27-year-old has gone 8-for-19 with a homer, a double, six runs, three RBI and two stolen bases.
Aug 6 2022Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Pirates' offense couldn't get out of the blocks, but Reynolds at least tried to make something happen with his legs. The steal was his fourth of the year but first since June 1. Reynolds also sports a .258/.340/.458 slash line with 16 home runs, 34 RBI and 44 runs through 90 games.
Aug 3 2022Reynolds went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in an 8-7 win over the Brewers on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds was the hero of the night, blasting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth to conclude a dramatic back-and-forth contest. The homer came off Brewers reliever Devin Williams, who had come into the game without giving up a home run all season. The three-hit performance snaps a cold stretch of six hitless games. Reynolds now has 16 long balls and is slashing .255/.337/.457 in 2022.
Jul 31 2022Reynolds (personal) was activated from the paternity list Sunday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old was placed on the paternity list Thursday and will rejoin the team after spending a few days with his family. The Pirates have yet to release their official lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Phillies, but Reynolds figures to take up his usual spot in center field.
Jul 28 2022The Pirates placed Reynolds on the paternity list Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since Reynolds will be away frrom the Pirates for 1-to-3 days while he awaits the birth of his child, the Pirates recalled Bligh Madris from Triple-A Indianapolis to add reinforcement to the outfield. After being activated from the injured list Monday, Reynolds started in both of the Pirates' last two games and went hitless in eight at-bats to drop his season average to .254.
Jul 26 2022Reynolds went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Monday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds returned from a two-week absence caused by an oblique injury. He filled his typical role in center field while hitting second. Reynolds will have one of the few locked-in spots in the Pirates' lineup moving forward, and he's maintained a .257/.339/.459 line across 348 plate appearances on the season.
Jul 25 2022Reynolds (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds missed two weeks due to a strained right oblique but is starting in center field and batting second during Monday's series opener against the Cubs. He'll serve as the Pirates' everyday center fielder now that he's healthy, but he's a potential trade candidate despite being under team control through 2025. The 27-year-old is slashing .261/.343/.465 with 15 homers, 40 runs, 32 RBI and three stolen bases this season.
Jul 24 2022Reynolds (oblique) expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Cubs, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds landed on the injured list July 11 with a strained right oblique, but he'll end up being sidelined only a couple weeks by the injury. The 27-year-old could also be a trade piece for the Pirates, though he'd be costly to acquire since he remains under team control through 2025. Reynolds has a .261/.343/.465 slash line with 15 home runs, 32 RBI, 40 runs and three stolen bases in 83 games this year.
Jul 22 2022Reynolds (oblique) took batting practice during the Pirates' optional workout Thursday, Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's encouraging to see Reynolds swinging a bat after he was initially shut down during his IL stint, but manager Derek Shelton said Friday that the outfielder's activities are still restricted. However, Shelton hopes Reynolds will be able to return "sooner rather than later." A better idea of the 27-year-old's return timetable should come into focus once he's able to ramp up his activity level.
Jul 13 2022Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Reynolds (oblique) hasn't yet resumed baseball activities, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds landed on the injured list with a right oblique strain Monday and will be unavailable until at least the first game after the All-Star break. However, the 27-year-old doesn't yet have a timetable for his return and will be reassessed following the Pirates' layoff.
Jul 11 2022The Pirates placed Reynolds on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right oblique strain, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Reynolds will be eligible to come off the IL for the Pirates' first game out of the All-Star break July 22, the severity of his oblique strain isn't yet known, so it's far from a given that he'll be ready to return in the minimum amount of time. Pittsburgh reinstated Jake Marisnick (thumb) from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move, and he should replace Reynolds in center field when the Pirates oppose left-handed pitching, while Jack Suwinski and Ben Gamel profile as the top options at the position versus righties. Coming off a 2021 All-Star appearance, Reynolds has taken a slight step back offensively in 2022, but he's still slashing a credible .261/.343/.465 across 344 plate appearances.
Jul 10 2022Reynolds was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers due to right side discomfort. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds went 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts to begin Sunday's matchup, and he was replaced by a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh inning. He's being further examined by the team's medical staff and is considered day-to-day.
Jul 9 2022Reynolds will sit Saturday against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds hits the bench after starting each of the Pirates' last 51 games. He hasn't exactly looked like he's needed a rest, as he owns a 1.156 OPS over his last 10 games, but the Pirates will hope the off day allows him to stay fresh and maintain his hot streak. Jack Suwinski will slide to center field in his absence, with Ben Gamel starting in left.
Jun 29 2022Reynolds went 3-for-5 with three home runs and six RBI on Wednesday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds powered the Pirates' offense Wednesday with homers in the first, sixth and seventh innings. He now has 15 home runs on the season, eight of which have come in June. After the big performance, Reynolds has a .348 wOBA and 124 wRC+ across 304 plate appearances on the season.
Jun 23 2022Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in an 8-7 win over the Cubs on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds put Pittsburgh's offense on the board in the first inning with his 405-foot solo shot to center field. The long ball was the 12th of the season for the outfielder, putting him halfway to last season's total of 24. During his current five-game hitting streak, Reynolds is batting .412 (7-for-17) with four runs and two RBI.
Jun 21 2022Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Monday's 12-1 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fresh call-ups Oneil Cruz and Bligh Madris were the stars of the night for Pittsburgh after going a combined 5-for-9 with six RBI, but Reynolds' contributions were essential as the Pirates established a new season high in runs. The two-hit effort ended a short dry spell at the plate for Reynolds, who went 1-for-12 with a walk and four strikeouts over his previous three starts.
Jun 15 2022Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a triple and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Cardinals. He was also hit by a pitch. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds notched the Pirates' first hit with a first-inning triple and scored on a groundout. He again gave them the lead in the sixth with his third homer in the last six games. The outfielder saw a six-game hitting streak end Tuesday, but he's now 15-for-28 (.536) over his last eight contests. For the season, Reynolds has hit .257/.333/.459 with 11 homers, 21 RBI, 28 runs scored, three stolen bases, two triples and eight doubles in 249 plate appearances.
Jun 12 2022Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds hit an RBI sacrifice fly in the third inning before taking Kyle Wright deep for a two-run blast in the fifth. The 27-year-old outfielder is scorching this month, going 16-for-39 (.410) with three homers and seven RBI through 10 June contests. Reynolds is now slashing .249/.325/.440 19 extra-base hits through 55 games on the year.
Jun 11 2022Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-4 loss to Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds opened the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning and added an RBI double in the fifth. He's been red-hot against Atlanta pitching, going 8-for-12 through the first three games of this weekend series. Saturday was the first time since June 1 he's hit an extra-base hit. The outfielder is up to a .243/.322/.422 slash line with nine homers, 16 RBI, 23 runs scored and three stolen bases through 230 plate appearances. His recent surge has seen him turn around his season in the last week-plus.
Jun 2 2022Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two total runs, a stolen base and two walks in Wednesday's 8-4 win against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds reached base four times in the contest for the second time this season. His biggest hit was a fifth-inning two-run homer that gave the Pirates a 3-1 lead. Reynolds has eight long balls on the campaign, including three over his past six games.
May 31 2022Reynolds went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Monday against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds went yard in the third inning to record his seventh home run of the season. It was his third long ball in his last nine games, though he's still hitting just .171 in that span. Perhaps more of an indication that Reynolds is getting on track at the dish is his 18.1 percent strikeout in May, after he punched out at a 26.7 percent clip in the first month of the season.
May 28 2022Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds took Sean Manaea yard in the first inning to record his sixth home run of the season and second in six starts. He hasn't hit particularly well in that span, as he has only two additional knocks. Reynolds has shown glimpses of breaking out a season-long slump but is still hitting just .217/.312/.382 across 173 plate appearances.
May 26 2022Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds snapped a three-game hitless streak by tallying his fifth double of the season. He's shown glimpses of breaking out of his season-long slump, as he has six multi-hit performances in 21 games since May 1. However, Reynolds is hitting just .237/.333/.421 in that span with three homers, five RBI and eight runs scored.
May 21 2022Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Saturday's loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds collected two extra-base hits off rookie hurler Matthew Liberatore, and his fifth-inning, two-run shot was among the final blows that chased the left-hander from the game. The long ball was Reynolds' first since he homered in back-to-back contests May 7 and 8. He is batting just .231 on the season, but he has picked things up of late, collecting multiple hits in each of his past three contests.
May 20 2022Reynolds went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Friday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds tallied his first RBI since May 8 when he dumped in a single in the eighth inning. During his nine-game drought, Reynolds hit just .188 with one run scored. Reynolds has yet to get going at the dish, maintaining a .306 wOBA and 98 wRC+ with four home runs, 12 runs scored and seven RBI through 148 plate appearances on the season.
May 14 2022Reynolds isn't starting Saturday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has gone 0-for-11 with two walks and four strikeouts over his last three games, and he'll be out of the lineup for the first time since April 26. Jack Suwinski will take over in center field while Diego Castillo starts in right.
May 9 2022Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds took Dauri Moreta yard in the eighth inning to record his fourth homer of the season and second in as many days. After a concerning start to the season, Reynolds has registered at least one hit in eight of his last 10 games, also collecting three RBI and seven runs scored. Overall, Reynolds is hitting .223/.324/.394 across 108 plate appearances.
May 8 2022Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds went 0-for-3 with a walk in the first game against Cincinnati, but he took Dauri Moreta yard in the first inning of the second contest to record his third homer of the season. While he's hitting only .220 to begin the season, Reynolds has collected at least one hit in seven of his last nine games while also picking up two RBI and six runs scored in that span.
Apr 26 2022The Pirates placed Reynolds on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The virus appears to be making its way around the Pittsburgh clubhouse, as Reynolds and Cole Tucker were placed on the list, while multiple staff members are also away from the team as the Pirates kick off a three-game series with the Brewers. Reynolds will be eligible to rejoin the Pirates once he completes a quarantine and is no longer testing positive for the virus, but fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility of Reynolds missing the team's entire six-game week. Jake Marisnick and minor-league call-up Jack Suwinski could fill near-everyday roles in the outfield while both Reynolds and Tucker are unavailable.
Apr 17 2022Reynolds is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Pirates will extend Reynolds his first day off of the season after he started in each of the team's first eight games while going 9-for-33 (.273 average) with two home runs, three runs and three RBI. Jake Marisnick will enter the starting nine in place of Reynolds, batting leadoff while manning center field.
Apr 15 2022Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks Thursday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds reached base four times, with the highlight of his performance coming in the third inning when he launched a two-run home run to right field. He now has two homers on the season, both of which have come in his last three games. Though Reynolds has no additional extra-base hits, he has recorded at least one knock in five of his six starts.
Apr 14 2022Reynolds and the Pirates agreed Thursday on a two-year, $13.5 million contract to avoid arbitration, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The deal keeps Reynolds on the books through 2023, and he'll be eligible in arbitration for two years after that before reaching free agency for the first time following the 2025 season. Though he turned 27 years old in January and was a first-time All-Star in 2021, Reynolds may not necessarily fit into a Pirates rebuild that could last for a few more seasons. Even though Reynolds is now under contract at a team-friendly rate, the Pirates could still make him available via trade if the price is right.
Apr 12 2022Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds took Mychal Givens yard in the eighth inning to log his first homer of the season. As expected, he has been a fixture in the Pirates' lineup, as he's hit second in each of the team's first four games. The long ball marked Reynolds' first extra-base hit of the season, though he as least one knock in every contest to this point in the campaign.
Apr 6 2022Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a RBI in a 5-1 loss Tuesday versus Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds started in center field and singled in his first two plate appearances against Zach Eflin. The 27-year-old crushed opposing pitching all spring and wrapped up the preseason with a .361/.368/.750 batting line and three home runs in 12 games. The 2021 All-Star never hit lower than third in the batting order in 2021 and has hit second in every spring training game this season. As long as he's a Pirate, he will likely be at the top of the order.
Oct 3 2021Reynolds is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple and a run Saturday to raise his batting average over .300, and that will end up being his final start of the campaign. Unless he makes an appearance off the bench, the 26-year-old will finish 2021 with a .303/.391/.523 slash line, 24 homers, 35 doubles, eight triples, 90 RBI and 93 runs in 158 games.
Oct 2 2021Reynolds went 4-for-5 with two singles, a double, a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds fell a homer short of the cycle Saturday, pouring in his third four-hit game of the season. The first-time All-Star knocked in the winning run as well, scoring Yoshi Tsutsugo on an RBI triple that put the Bucs ahead for good. Reynolds entered play batting .298, but pushed his average to .303 with this outburst. He'll look to keep it in the .300s in the Pirates' final game of the season Sunday.
Oct 1 2021Reynolds isn't starting Friday's game against Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has recorded hits in each of the last four games, and he went 7-for-13 with two triples, two doubles, four runs and four RBI during that time. Ben Gamel will shift to center field while Anthony Alford starts in left.
Sep 29 2021Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a pair of triples, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds was the only Pirate to get on base multiple times Wednesday. He's now tied for second in the majors with seven triples this year, one behind Arizona's David Peralta for the lead. Through his last six games, Reynolds has gone 9-for-21 (.429). He's up to a stellar .298/.387/.516 slash line with 24 home runs, 89 RBI, 91 runs scored and five stolen bases through 636 plate appearances.
Sep 22 2021Reynolds went 0-for-3 with a pair of walks in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's now batting .295, a three-month low, with a September slash line (.262/.397/.492) that includes a .271 BABIP -- he held a .342 BABIP through August. Reynolds has also been pitched around more frequently, as evidenced by a 14:12 BB:K in September. He's made 11 outs with exit velocities better than 90-mph in his last 10 starts, so it's possible some of those outs will start dropping in again.
Sep 20 2021Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and two RBI in the loss versus the Reds on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The outfielder took Vladimir Gutierrez deep in the first inning for his 24th long ball of the season. He later drove in Cole Tucker with a sac fly in the third inning. Since Sept. 5, Reynolds has batted .298 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 11 runs and a stolen base in 14 games.
Sep 19 2021Reynolds is not starting Sunday's game against the Marlins, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds is hitting .265 with four extra-base hits, five RBI and 10 walks in his last 10 games. Ben Gamel is playing center field Sunday, with Anthony Alford getting the start in left.
Sep 12 2021Reynolds went 2-for-3 with two walks, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 10-7 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old launched a two-run shot off Josiah Gray in the fifth inning to help the Bucs rally from a 5-2 deficit. Reynolds is slashing .314/.415/.543 through 10 games in September, and on the season he's batting an even .300 with 23 homers, five steals, 80 runs and 84 RBI.
Sep 5 2021Reynolds went 4-for-5 with a grand slam and a stolen base in Sunday's 11-8 loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The performance was a much-needed boost to the outfielder -- he'd been mired in a 10-for-51 slump since Aug. 18. He got hit on his right wrist by the baseball when he stole second base Sunday, but he remained in the game. Reynolds lifted his batting average back over the .300 mark (.301) after it had slipped to its lowest mark since June 16 (.293). He'll get three home games each against the Detroit and Washington staffs in the coming week.
Sep 4 2021Reynolds is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cole Tucker will man center field and lead off against right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Reynolds has cooled since the break, but he established himself as one of the few long-term building blocks on the Pirates' current roster with his All-Star first half, and his OPS still sits just shy of .900 for the season. He will get the occasional day off down the stretch as the team wants to be sure he's in a good spot heading into the offseason.
Sep 1 2021Reynolds went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The center fielder is slashing .222/.295/.315 with zero home runs and six RBI in 61 plate appearances since Aug. 14 -- he hasn't compiled a multi-hit performance during that span, either. Surprisingly, Reynolds has struggled at Wrigley Field, where the team plays four games starting Thursday. He's hit .217 with no homers in 52 plate appearances, but he has had success against Cubs starters Zach Davies and Alec Mills.
Aug 27 2021Reynolds will sit Friday against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds' season has been a very successful one overall, as he's bounced back from a poor 2020 campaign to hit .300/.381/.518 with a career-high 21 homers. He's been in a bit of a slump over his last 12 games, though, hitting just .209/.271/.302. He'll get the day off Friday, with Ben Gamel starting in center field.
Aug 23 2021Reynolds went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He cooled off a bit last week, going 7-for-26 with two doubles in his last eight contests. Reynolds, who is a combined 7-for-47 against three of four upcoming St. Louis starters this week, has played in 121 of 124 games thus far. He slumped in September as a rookie and the Pirates may decide to sit him a bit more frequently going forward. Still, he's having a tremendous year on a last-place team, slashing .304/.387/.525 with 21 homers and 72 RBI.
Aug 14 2021Reynolds went 2-for-3 with two walks, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in a 14-4 win over the Brewers during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The outfielder blasted a two-run shot as part of a six-run fifth inning for the Pirates that put the game firmly out of reach. Reynolds has gone yard three times in the last six games, giving him 21 homers on the season, and headed into Saturday's nightcap he's batting .306 (11-for-36) through 12 games in August with nine runs and 13 RBI.
Aug 13 2021Reynolds went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds wasn't in the lineup for Thursday's matchup, but he was productive as a pinch hitter and narrowed the deficit to one run with his two-run blast in the bottom of the ninth inning. The 26-year-old has displayed plenty of power across the last five games, as he's gone 6-for-16 with two homers, a triple, a double, five RBI and three runs during that time.
Aug 12 2021Reynolds isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds went 0-for-7 with two strikeouts across the first two games of the series, and he'll get a breather for the series finale. Hoy Park will start in center field while Kevin Newman takes over at shortstop.
Aug 7 2021Reynolds went 3-for-4 with three RBI and fell a double shy of the cycle Saturday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds produced all of Pittsburgh's runs, tripling in a run in the third inning and adding a two-run homer in the eighth for his 19th long ball of the season. Reynolds had been scuffling a bit since the calendar flipped to August, going 3-for-17 (.176) in the first six games of the month, but Saturday's outburst upped his season slash line to .308/.390/.530 in 451 plate appearances.
Aug 4 2021Reynolds went 2-for-2 with a triple, two walks and two runs scored in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The star outfielder was able to reach each time he got on base, and he scored on a Jacob Stallings double and a John Nogowski sacrifice fly. This was just the second multi-hit effort for Reynolds in his last nine games, as he's cooled off a bit with a .267 batting average in that span. He's still slashing a hearty .308/.391/.523 through 440 plate appearances overall.
Aug 3 2021Reynolds is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds will get his first breather since July 8. Hoy Park will take over in center field and lead off Tuesday.
Jul 28 2021Reynolds went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Tuesday's 9-0 loss to the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While it's understandable that he was taken out after eight innings in the blowout, it's also interesting that he was scheduled to bat second in the ninth inning. There was no word about any injury, but it's something worth keeping an eye on. Jared Oliva replaced Reynolds in center field.
Jul 26 2021Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 6-1 loss to San Francisco. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It will be interesting to see whether Reynolds sees a drop-off in RBI following the trade of Adam Frazier on Sunday. Reynolds has driven in Frazier (19 times) more frequently than anyone else, including himself (18 times). The outfielder has been a model of consistency. He entered July 2 with a .312 batting average and has hit .312 since. For the year, he's slashing .312/.394/.528 with 23 doubles, 18 homers and 57 RBI.
Jul 25 2021Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a double, one RBI, a run scored and a walk in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Giants.

He is batting .370 and has a 1.040 OPS with three homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored over his last 11 games. The 26-year-old is slashing .310/.393/.528 with a team-leading 57 RBI and 45 walks.

He's been on fire since the All-Star break, going 11-for-30 (.367) with two homers and five RBI. The switch-hitting outfielder improved his season OPS to .916 with 40 extra-base hits through 397 plate appearances.
Jul 21 2021Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to Arizona. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old hasn't slowed down a bit since the All-Star break, going 9-for-25 (.360) with a home run, three RBI and four runs scored in his last six games. Reynolds continues to hit consistently in the middle of Pittsburgh's order with a .306/.390/.519 slash line through 392 plate appearances. He's added a career-high 17 home runs to go with 54 RBI, 54 runs scored and three stolen bases.
Jul 16 2021Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a hit by pitch in Friday's 4-1 win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds provided Pittsburgh with some insurance when he went yard in the seventh inning. The All-Star outfielder is already off to a good start in the second half of the season.

Jul 8 2021Reynolds isn't starting Thursday's game against the Mets, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Jared Oliva, Ben Gamel and Wilmer Difo will start in the outfield from left to right.
Jul 3 2021Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double in Friday's loss against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds saw his 14-game hitting streak come to an end Thursday, but he bounced back with two extra-base hits in another loss for a reeling Pirates team. The outfielder has been the Pirates' best player by a wide margin, though, slashing .366/.429/.653 with eight homers, 23 RBI, 16 runs scored and a 11:17 BB:K since the beginning of June.
Jun 30 2021Reynolds went 2-for-2 with a solo homer and two walks during Wednesday's loss to Colorado. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds returned to the lineup after getting a breather Tuesday. His first-inning homer extended the Pirates' lead to 2-0 and brought his hitting streak to 14 games. The outfielder finishes an outstanding month of June with 35 hits (11 XBH), 21 RBI and 15 runs scored across 93 at-bats and he now holds an impressive .316/.405/.542 slash line on the campaign.
Jun 29 2021Reynolds is not starting Tuesday against the Rockies, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds is riding a 13-game hitting streak, batting .415 and homering three times over that stretch. He'll miss out on the chance to bat at Coors Field on Tuesday for what appears to be a routine off day. Ben Gamel takes over in center field in his absence.
Jun 27 2021Reynolds went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds was one of four Pittsburgh players that recorded at least two knocks in this game, but he was also responsible for two of the team's runs. He delivered an RBI single that scored Adam Frazier in the top of the first, and then he added another RBI single in the fourth, also scoring Frazier. The outfielder has been one of the Pirates' most reliable offensive weapons this season and is hitting .312 with a .931 OPS on the season.
Jun 24 2021Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in an 8-2 victory against St. Louis on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds opened the scoring with his first-inning RBI single, walked in the third, launched a 404-foot homer to right in the fourth, and singled in the eighth. He now has seven multi-hit games in his last eight with 16 total hits and a .500 average in that stretch. Reynolds will look to build on a nine-game hitting streak with more games in St. Louis this weekend.
Jun 22 2021Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Tuesday against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds delivered two separate RBI singles, with one coming in the sixth inning and another in the seventh. He continues to hit very well, as he has a seven-game hitting streak -- five of which have been multi-hit efforts. He's delivered seven RBI and scored three runs in that span. Overall, Reynolds is hitting .302/.395/.528 with 12 home runs, 41 runs scored and 38 RBI across 286 plate appearances on the campaign.
Jun 20 2021Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's win over Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has delivered four straight multi-hit games and pushed his hitting streak to five contests, while he's also gone yard twice while extending his RBI streak to those same five appearances. The centerfielder has been one of Pittsburgh's most reliable offensive threats this season and has 12 homers while hitting .300 with a .925 OPS across 67 games.
Jun 19 2021Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 11-10 win over Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He took J.C. Mejia deep in the third inning for his 11th long ball of the year, giving the Pirates a 6-0 lead that eventually grew to 11-1 before Cleveland mounted a late charge. Reynolds has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, and he's slashing a dynamic .333/.419/.611 through 15 games in June with four homers, a steal, 10 RBI and 10 runs.
Jun 12 2021Reynolds went 1-for-3 with an RBI, two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-4 loss to Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The stolen base was the outfielder's first of the year in two attempts. He's not known for adding much on the basepaths. Reynolds is slashing .288/.395/.507 with 10 home runs, 31 RBI and 38 runs scored across 253 plate appearances as a near-everyday option in center field.
Jun 11 2021Reynolds is out of the lineup Friday against the Brewers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reyolds has a 1.021 OPS with three homers and a 6:5 BB:K so far in June, but he'll receive the day off after starting the past seven games. Ben Gamel will start in center field in his place.
Jun 10 2021Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Thursday's loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds brought the Pirates within one run by taking Julio Urias deep in the third inning. It was his team-leading 10th long ball of the season and his second of the series. Overall this year, Reynolds is batting a healthy .284/.389/.507.
Jun 8 2021Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds took the first pitch he saw against Nate Jones in the bottom of the ninth and cranked his team-leading ninth long ball of the season. The 26-year-old also leads the Pirates with 28 RBI while batting .286/.388/.500 overall.
Jun 3 2021Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and one walk Thursday against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds went yard in the fourth inning to tally his eighth home run of the season. The performance continued his power surge, as he's now homered four times in his last seven games. For the season, Reynolds is hitting .289/.389/.500 with 26 RBI and 32 runs scored.
Jun 1 2021Reynolds went 1-for4 with a solo homer in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds got the Pirates on the board in the first inning with an RBI groundout and then later hit a solo home run in the eighth for his second multi-RBI game in the last three days. The 26-year-old has been one of the more consistent hitters on his team so far this season, slashing .286/.387/.489 seven homers, 23 RBI, 30 runs scored and a 27:48 BB:K.
May 27 2021Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds had gone hitless with four strikeouts in seven at-bats to begin the series, but he bounced back in Thursday's series finale with a home run in the fourth inning that put the Pirates on the board. The center fielder is now slashing .292/.386/.474 with five home runs, 28 runs and 19 RBI this season.
May 26 2021Reynolds went 0-for-4 with three swinging strikeouts in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The switch hitter had an uncharacteristically tough night, stranding six baserunners. Prior to Tuesday, Reynolds had slashed .324/.400/.549 with 10 doubles and two homers in 80 May plate appearances. He battled lower-body soreness two weeks ago but has started in all of the team's last 11 games.
May 20 2021Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-4 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds hit his fourth homer of the year off Drew Smyly to lead off the sixth inning. The 26-year-old has an active seven-game streak of reaching base safely. In that stretch, he has reached base 12 times and scored five runs. He is slashing .293/.387/.473 in 173 plate appearances. The outfielder has a team-leading 27 runs scored.
May 16 2021Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The switch hitter continues to put a rough sophomore campaign behind him. After managing only a .632 OPS in 2020, Reynolds has rebounded with a .301/.400/.481 slash line through 37 games to begin this season, adding three homers, 15 RBI and 24 runs.
May 13 2021Reynolds (lower body) is starting Thursday's game against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds was held out of Wednesday's lineup due to lower-body soreness, but he'll bat third and play center field Thursday. Across his last three games, Reynolds has gone 3-for-7 with two doubles, a run, four walks and two strikeouts.
May 12 2021Pirates sports medicine director Todd Tomczyk said that Reynolds is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Reds due to lower-body soreness, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds will still be available out of the bench, so the Pirates appear to be holding him out as a precaution for the day game after a night game. The 26-year-old is expected to rejoin the starting nine in Thursday's series opener against the Giants.
May 10 2021Reynolds (lower body) will return to the lineup Monday against the Reds, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds had missed the last two days due to lower-body soreness. Across his last six appearances, Reynolds has hit .280 with a home run, five doubles, three runs and three RBI. He's starting in center field and batting second Monday.
May 9 2021Reynolds is considered day-to-day with lower-body soreness, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old was held out of the lineup Saturday for what initially appeared to be a standard day off, but he's instead dealing with an injury. Reynolds is not in the lineup again Sunday while Wilmer Difo starts in center field for Pittsburgh.
May 8 2021Reynolds isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds will be out of the lineup for just the second time this season after he went hitless in five at-bats Friday. Wilmer Difo will start in center field and bat second.
May 5 2021Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a home run Wednesday against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds took Yu Darvish deep in the sixth inning in what was his third long ball of the season, but that was his lone hit Wednesday. Reynolds has been seeing the ball well of late, though, as he extended his hitting streak to five games and has recorded at least one extra-base hit in each one of those contests.
May 4 2021Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in a 2-1 victory over the Padres on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds gave Pittsburgh an early lead with his third-inning RBI double and added another two-bagger in the fifth. It marks the fourth straight game in which Reynolds has recorded a double.
Apr 22 2021Reynolds went 2-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and an RBI on Thursday against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds reached base in all four of his plate appearances and continued his strong start to the campaign. He's now tallied three multi-hit games in his last five starts and is hitting .313/.418/.463 across 79 plate appearances. Reynolds should maintain a spot in the heart of the Pirates' order, giving him the opportunity to accrue solid counting stats -- even in a subpar lineup.
Apr 18 2021Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, and three total runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Brewers. He was also hit by a pitch. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds hit a double in the third inning before scoring on Colin Moran's three-run homer. In the seventh, Reynolds restored the Pirates' lead with a two-run shot. He then served as the initial runner in the 10th and scored the last go-ahead run on a double by Moran. Through 68 plate appearances, Reynolds has a .317/.397/.483 slash line with two homers, seven RBI and 11 runs scored. He's 0-for-1 on stolen base attempts, but speed isn't a large part of the outfielder's game.
Apr 12 2021Reynolds went 4-for-5 in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's looking more and more like his poor offensive work in 2020 (.189/.275/.357) was an anomaly. Reynolds, who's batting .324, continues to hit third in the lineup while playing left field. There has been talk of shifting him over to center field to make room for Phillip Evans in the outfield when Ke'Bryan Hayes (wrist) returns to third base, but nothing has yet been decided.
Apr 11 2021Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a double, walk and two RBI in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: If the team's center field platoon of Anthony Alford and Dustin Fowler continues to struggle, then there's a chance Reynolds could shift to center, making space for hot-hitting Phillip Evans in left. Reynolds had a potential infield single taken away from him Saturday when the umpire ruled that he ran inside the baseline.
Apr 9 2021Reynolds, who went 0-for-5 on Thursday, has five hits in 14 career at-bats against Saturday starter, Zach Davies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He never went more than one start without reaching base as a rookie in 2019, when he slashed .314/.377/.503 in 546 plate appearances. Avoiding prolonged slumps, like his 5-for-44 start in 2020, will go a long way toward getting the outfielder, who never hit under .300 prior to last summer, back on track in 2021.
Apr 7 2021Reynolds is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll take a seat for the first time this season while Pirates manager Derek Shelton gives Phillip Evans a spin in left field. Reynolds has recorded a hit in each of the Pirates' first five games, going 6-for-19 with a solo home run and two additional runs.
Apr 5 2021Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: His swinging strike percentage (20.4) is nearly twice as high as his career mark (11.7), but it's obviously a small sample and he's still batting .333 in his first 12 at-bats. Reynolds has played every game in left field while batting third in the lineup. The 26-year-old's start might not seem extraordinary, but he started the 2020 campaign with just five hits in his first 44 at-bats.
Mar 20 2021Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI in an 11-9 loss to Baltimore on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He moved to center field from his customary left field spot Friday and will likely do so occasionally during the regular season. Reynolds is batting .296 with two homers and five RBI in 27 spring at-bats as he looks to rebound from a disastrous 2020. Prior to last season, the 26-year-old hadn't hit lower than the .300 mark in four pro years.
Feb 22 2021Reynolds will have a clear starting role this season in left or center field, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Derek Shelton named a handful of locked-in starters Monday, and Reynolds was among that group despite a very poor sophomore season. After hitting .314/.377/.503 as a rookie, he hit just .189/.275/.357 last year. A massive drop in his BABIP from .387 to .231 explains much of the change, though his average exit velocity also dropped two ticks from 89.5 to 87.5. It's probably wise to expect Reynolds' third-season numbers to fall somewhere between those from his first two, leaving him as a passable but unexciting late-round outfielder.
Sep 26 2020Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 8-0 win over Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds extended Pittsburgh's lead to 5-0 with his two-run shot off Aaron Civale in the third inning. The long ball was Reynolds' seventh of the year. He's hitting a paltry .188 with 24 runs and 19 RBI in 181 at-bats in 2020.
Sep 24 2020Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in the 7-0 win over the Cubs on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The homer off Alec Mills marked Reynolds's sixth of the campaign and it extended Pittsburgh's lead to 2-0 in the second. The outfielder is slashing a disappointing .191/.282/.353 with 17 RBI and 23 runs scored on the campaign.
Sep 23 2020Reynolds is not starting Wednesday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds has been quite disappointing in his second big-league season, hitting just .178/.272/.325. The Pirates have allowed him to work through his struggles, including him in 48 of the team's 56 lineups thus far, but it hasn't been working. Jared Oliva takes over in center field Wednesday.
Sep 20 2020Reynolds will start in center field and bat leadoff Sunday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds will bat atop the lineup for the third game in a row, and he could find a home there for the rest of the season after Pittsburgh recently lost two potential table-setting options to the injured list in Kevin Newman (knee) and Cole Tucker (concussion). After producing an .880 OPS in 2019, Reynolds has been one of several Pittsburgh hitters who has taken a big step back during the Pirates' 15-37 season. He'll head into the series finale versus St. Louis with a .178/.279/.331 slash line across 179 plate appearances.
Sep 19 2020Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in a 7-2 loss to the Cardinals in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 0-for-3 with an RBI in the matinee, Reynolds supplied all of the Pirates' offense in the nightcap with his fifth-inning blast off Daniel Ponce de Leon. He also batted leadoff in Game 2 for the first time in his career. It was the first multi-hit performance by the outfielder since Sept. 3, and on the season Reynolds is slashing a miserable .182/.280/.338 with five homers and 16 RBI over 47 games.
Sep 16 2020Reynolds will be on the bench Wednesday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds sits after starting 13 straight games. He hit just .150/.306/.325 over that stretch, though that was actually enough to boost his season OPS up slightly from .590 to .602. Cole Tucker starts in center field in his absence.
Sep 13 2020Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old went deep in the second inning for his fourth homer of the year. Reynolds has struggled to build any momentum at the plate in 2020, and it's fair to wonder if his focus has been fully on the field given that his wife just gave birth to their first child -- since returning from the paternity list Sept. 3 he's reached base safely in eight of nine games, but Reynolds is still only slashing .167/.306/.400 over that stretch.
Sep 3 2020Reynolds went 2-for-4 with three-run homer and a double in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was his first game back in the lineup since being activated from the paternity list Wednesday. Reynolds gave the Pirates a 4-2 lead with a three-run homer off Alec Mills with two outs in the third inning. The long ball was Reynolds' third on the season and it brought his RBI total to 11. Despite Thursday's performance, the outfielder continues to slash a poor .196/.227/.364 on the campaign.
Sep 2 2020Reynolds was activated from the paternity list Wednesday but is not in the lineup against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's unclear whether or not Reynolds simply isn't ready to start after his brief period away from the team or if he's set to slip into a smaller role. He's struggled to a .184/.270/.320 line this season and has just one hit in his last six games. Anthony Alford starts in left field Wednesday.
Aug 30 2020Reynolds was placed on the paternity list prior to Sunday's game against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds is in the midst of a 1-for-21 slump, so it's good timing for him to be away from the team for a few days to spend time with his family. Will Craig was recalled from the alternate training site in a corresponding move.
Aug 22 2020Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a home run, a triple, four RBI and three runs in Friday's win against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds had been unable to generate much production recently as he went just 2-for-23 with a home run and 10 strikeouts over his past seven games. However, he was dominant against the Brewers, falling a double short of the cycle, and led the Pirates' offensive charge. He's now hitting .205 with seven extra-base hits and five RBI this season.
Aug 20 2020Reynolds is not starting Thursday against the Indians, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds, who is slashing just .176/.282/.294 with one home run and one steal this season, will head to the bench for what appears to be a routine breather following a string of 11 straight starts. In his place, Jose Osuna is starting in the outfield and hitting fifth in Thursday's series finale.
Aug 15 2020Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a solo home in an 8-1 loss to the Reds on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It appeared Reynolds may have been turning things around at the plate last week after posting back-to-back multi-hit games, but he followed that up by recording a hit in just one of his last 18 at-bats. While it is positive that his lone hit resulted in his first long ball and RBI of the season, it remains a concern that he still is struggling to see the ball after hitting .314 in 134 games in 2019. With the shortened season, it may be difficult to continue to hold onto Reynolds if he continues to struggle, but having his first home run in his pocket may give him more confidence moving forward.
Aug 8 2020Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a walk and three runs in Friday's 17-13 loss to Detroit. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting the season with three hits in his first 30 at-bats, Reynolds is hitting .400 in his last 15 at-bats. The left fielder has contributed with a league-leading four outfield assists but is now back to producing on offense. Reynolds, who holds a .320 career batting average against right-handed pitchers, will face Detroit righty Ivan Nova on Saturday afternoon.
Aug 4 2020Reynolds went 0-for-3 with a walk in Monday's 5-4 loss to Minnesota. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's batting .129 in 31 at-bats with a 6:12 BB:K. Reynolds has collected just two extra-base hits (both doubles) and has whiffed 12 times in his last eight games. The 25-year-old has never batted below .300 since turning pro in 2016, however, so there's hope for a rebound. Tuesday marks the first time Reynolds will face starter Jose Berrios.
Aug 2 2020Reynolds is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds started the first eight games of the season in left field but will receive the day off Sunday as he is 4-for-27. Phillips Evans receives the start in left field for the Pirates.
Jul 29 2020Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Tuesday's 8-6 win over Milwaukee. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The hits were the first of 2020 for Reynolds, who entered the contest in an 0-for-13 funk. He batted fifth in the lineup for the second straight time after slotting second in the first three games. The outfielder showed off his all-around ability, gunning down a go-ahead baserunner at home plate in a tied game.
Jul 26 2020Reynolds will bat second and play left field Sunday against St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He's off to a rough start, going 0-for-7 with a walk through two games. Reynolds is making solid contact, however, with a pair of deep drives to the warning track. He never went three straight starts without a hit in 2019, though he's hitless in five career at-bats (with two walks) against starter Dakota Hudson.
Jul 11 2020Reynolds, who primarily batted second in the order last year, is expected to hit from the same spot in the batting order, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds's wife is expecting, so there's a chance the left fielder could miss several games during the season. He compiled a 4.1 WAR while slashing .314/.377/.503 as a rookie. The switch hitter batted .264 in 157 plate appearances from the right side, leaving room for improvement in his sophomore campaign.
Jun 25 2020Manager Derek Shelton believes Reynolds will report to training camp, even though his wife is pregnant and he has an opt-out clause for the 2020 season, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: "I'm planning on everybody being in camp, and definitely respect the wishes of anybody that is high risk or has a spouse that's high risk and definitely support people in the decisions that they make because it's life decisions," Shelton said. "We have had no indication from anybody [that they wouldn't attend] as of now." Reynolds slashed .314/.377/.503 in 2019 and is expected to serve as the team's left fielder. His absence would leave a huge void in Pittsburgh's lineup.
Feb 29 2020Reynolds reached base three times Friday, going 1-for-1 with a single and two walks against Baltimore. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The outfielder slashed .314/.377/.503 with 16 homers and three steals in 546 plate appearances as a rookie in 2019. He batted second in Pittsburgh's lineup most of last year and figures to hit near the top of the order once again, though manager Derek Shelton has yet to publicly discuss the team's lineup. Reynolds had his worst month last September, when he hit just .230 in 87 at-bats, but it's likely he simply wore down. His .387 BABIP in 2019 could be due for regression, but he's never finished with a BABIP lower than .362 in four professional seasons.
Feb 13 2020Reynolds is set to start in left field following the signing of center fielder Jarrod Dyson, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds, a natural center fielder, started at all three outfield spots in 2019 but played mostly in left field (75 starts). He hit a combined .314/.377/.503 in 546 plate appearances as a rookie and will be counted upon to provide production in the middle of Pittsburgh's batting lineup. The switch hitter has never batted under .300 in any of his four professional seasons. His 21 home runs split between Pittsburgh (16) and Triple-A Indianapolis (5) in 2019 represented a career best.
Sep 28 2019Reynolds (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Reds, AT&T; SportsNet Pittsburgh reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds tweaked his hamstring running out a grounder Wednesday against the Cubs. He finishes with an impressive slash line of .314/.377/.503 with 16 homers and 68 RBI in 546 plate appearances. While the 24-year-old may not garner much NL ROY support, he's proven to be one of the bigger surprises in fantasy.
Sep 27 2019Reynolds (hamstring) remains on the bench Friday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds left Wednesday's game with hamstring discomfort and didn't take part in Thursday's contest. The Pirates haven't ruled him out for the season, but with just three games left to play, there's certainly a chance the 24-year-old has already appeared in his final contest of the year. According to Adam Berry of MLB.com, Reynolds won't be available off the bench Friday. Pablo Reyes remains the starter in center field in his absence, with Jake Elmore again starting in left.
Sep 26 2019Reynolds (hamstring) is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cubs, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds exited Wednesday's game with right hamstring discomfort and will miss at least one game as a result. Pablo Reyes is covering center field in his absence, with Jake Elmore starting in left field. Reynolds should be considered day-to-day.
Sep 25 2019Reynolds was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cubs with right hamstring discomfort, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds grabbed at his right hamstring after running out a ground ball during the first inning and did not retake the field for the bottom of the frame. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the Pirates are likely to remain cautious with their rookie outfielder during the final week of the regular season.
Sep 20 2019Reynolds went 0-for-4 against the Mariners on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Tuesday's day off didn't help the rookie snap out of his September funk. Reynolds has just three hits in his last 27 at-bats, dropping his batting average to .317. Unsurprisingly, the rookie's slump has coincided with the absence of both Starling Marte (wrist) and Josh Bell (groin) -- both of whom may not return in 2019. Reynolds will face right-hander Chase Anderson on Friday, against whom he has three hits (including a homer) in 11 career at-bats.
Sep 17 2019Reynolds isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Reynolds came through with a pair of doubles and an RBI in Sunday's series finale against the Cubs, but following a scheduled off day Monday, he'll head to the bench for another day of rest. Kevin Kramer gets the call in left field and will hit eighth.

May 29 2018Reynolds (hand) was activated from the minor-league disabled list Tuesday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.Reynolds is set to rejoin Double-A Altoona after missing the past six weeks while recovering from hand surgery that he underwent in April. The 23-year-old prospect was hitting .231/.267/.538 across four games with the Curve prior to landing on the shelf.
May 23 2018Reynolds (hand) is playing in extended spring training games and making good progress in his rehab, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.He went 3-for-13 with two doubles and a triple at Double-A Altoona before suffering a fractured hamate bone in his left hand that required surgery. Reynolds is one of the Pirates' better prospects in the upper levels, and has some potential as a power/speed table setter, although he is at least a year away from the majors.
Apr 12 2018Reynolds was diagnosed with a fractured hamate bone and will undergo surgery on his left hand Friday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.There should be a better indication of a timetable for the outfielder's return following the procedure but it's expected that Reynolds will be sidelined for an extended period of time -- around 6-to-8 weeks -- due to this injury. Reynolds was placed on the minor-league disabled list and went to see a hand specialist in Pittsburgh earlier this week when it became apparent that he couldn't take the field for Double-A Altoona.
Apr 11 2018Reynolds is on the minor-leaugue disabled list due to a sprained left wrist, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic Pittsburgh reports.It's unclear how the injury was incurred, but it's apparently relatively serious since he had to head to Pittsburgh to see a hand specialist for a second look. No timetable for return has been revealed at this point.
Mar 12 2018The Pirates reassigned Reynolds to their minor-league camp Monday.One of the prospects the Pirates acquired in the January trade that sent Andrew McCutchen to the Giants, Reynolds appears likely to open the campaign at Double-A Altoona after breezing through the California League a season ago with a .312/.364/.462 slash line across 540 plate appearances for High-A San Jose. Though he lacks any standout tools, the switch-hitting Reynolds made significant strides with his plate discipline in 2017 and could gain more attention in prospect circles if he retains those skills against higher-level pitching in the upper minors.
Jan 15 2018Reynolds was traded to the Pirates on Monday along with Kyle Crick in exchange for Andrew McCutchen, Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News reports.Reynolds, who was one of the Giants' top prospects before being traded, spent all of 2017 with High-A San Jose, where he hit a respectable .312/.364/.462 with 10 homers and 63 RBI in 121 games. While he doesn't offer much speed or power, the switch-hitting 22-year-old is a solid defender in centerfield and hasn't batted lower than .312 since being drafted in the second round of 2016.
Jul 26 2017Reynolds, 22, is hitting .314/.359/.457 with five home runs, 38 RBI and two steals through 85 games for High-A San Jose.The hit tool for Reynolds has been much better than advertised, though he may not bring a ton of power or stolen bases to the table. Nevertheless, he hasn't hit below .312 at any level thus far since being drafted in the second round in 2016. Add in his defensive chops in centerfield, and Reynolds could move quickly through the ranks for the Giants.
May 22 2017Reynolds, 22, went 5-for-6 with four RBI in a game Sunday with High-A Modesto.The center fielder landed in the second round of last June's first-year player draft largely on the strength of his defense, but he's also shown a quality hit tool since joining the professional ranks. The Vanderbilt product is hitting .281 over 166 plate appearances in the California League and has improved both his walk and strikeout rates from 2016.
