Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds had a huge night in his team's 9-6 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Reynolds went 4-for-4 with a double, a homer, a walk, two runs, and three RBI to help power his team to the win. His three-run homer was a clutch one as it broke a 6-6 tie in the eighth inning. Reynolds looked no worse for wear after missing Sunday's game with tightness. The veteran is now hitting .223 with eight doubles, seven homers, 21 runs, 30 RBI, and three steals across 211 at-bats. Reynolds is starting to heat up at the plate, hitting .346 over his past seven contests.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (undisclosed) is back in right field and is hitting third in the batting order in Monday's series opener in the desert against the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson. General manager Ben Cherington said that Reynolds was held out of Sunday's game due to "a little tightness in the trunk," but the 30-year-old outfielder will return to the field a day later. Reynolds does have a decent 27 RBI on the season, but otherwise he's been a disappointment for fantasy managers with a .212/.282/.335 slash line, .617 OPS, six home runs and three steals in 203 at-bats. He's in the midst of a three-game hitting streak but has also gone just 9-for-49 (.184) with a homer, two doubles, eight RBI, four runs scored, six walks and 14 K's in 13 games since May 10. Reynolds has gone hitless in just two career at-bats against Nelson.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (tightness) was held out of the starting nine on Sunday due to "a little tightness in the trunk," according to Danny Demilio of Pittsburgh Baseball Now. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the switch-hitter's status leading up to their next contest on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This afternoon, Tommy Pham was called on to replace Reynolds in the starting nine. Over his last eight games, Reynolds has begun to break out of his early-season slump, holding a stellar .321/.412/.500 slash line with two doubles, one home run, and seven RBI. However, prior to this recent surge, he held a low .194 AVG over his first 43 games. If Reynolds were to miss extended time, Pham should have an everyday role in the starting nine.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds will take a seat on the bench for Friday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies with left-hander Ranger Suarez taking the bump. Tommy Pham is making the start in left field for Pittsburgh and will hit seventh against Suarez. Not only are the Pirates facing a tough left-hander, but Reynolds could use a day off after going hitless in 21 at-bats with seven strikeouts in his last five games. The cold stretch has dropped the two-time All-Star's season line to .194/.259/.309 with five home runs, 20 RBI, 16 runs scored and three stolen bases in 43 games played. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues may want to keep Reynolds benched until he shows signs of breaking out of his slump. Pham has been worse in 2025, going 19-for-108 (.176) with no homers, six RBI, nine runs and three steals for the Bucs.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and two RBI in his team's 8-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. The veteran outfielder put the Pirates on the board in the bottom of the first inning to give them a 1-0 lead. He drove in his second run on a fielder's choice in the eighth to bring them within two runs of Chicago. However, that'd be the final run they could push across. Reynolds broke out of a 0-for-16 slump at the dish a few days ago with a two-hit effort and followed that up by blasting his fourth homer of the season -- and first in two weeks. He hasn't quite come around yet regarding his average (.238), but that should begin to pick up soon, as statcast has him pegged for a serviceable .267 xBA, which is closer to what we expect from him.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 3-for-5 with two runs, two RBI, and a walk during their 9-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday evening. Reynolds would hit three singles in this game. In the ninth inning, Reynolds would conclude his evening with a two-run single, which scored outfielder Tommy Pham and infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa. This was Reynolds' second-straight three-hit game and third three-hit game over his last four games. During this offensive surge, Reynolds has posted an impressive .526/.550/.684 slash line with just one extra-base hit. However, before this impressive run, Reynolds was in a slump, hitting just .179 over his previous eight games. Given his recent hot stretch, the 30-year-old switch-hitter should be viewed as a strong play in DFS on Wednesday, facing Los Angeles right-hander Jack Kochanowicz.

After starting the 2025 season as the regular designated hitter due to right-triceps soreness, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is making his first start in right field and will hit second in Thursday's series finale against the Washington Nationals and right-hander Trevor Williams. With Reynolds feeling good enough to return to the field, it should open up more at-bats for veteran outfielder Andrew McCutchen at DH moving forward. Fantasy managers will certainly be hoping that the Reynolds returning to the outfield means that he's getting healthier. His sore triceps might have played a big part in his underwhelming start to the season, as he enters Thursday's contest with a .203/.268/.338 slash line, two home runs, eight RBI and seven runs scored in his first 74 at-bats. The 30-year-old switch-hitter has hit .250 in eight career at-bats against Williams.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds will take the day off in Monday's series opener against the visiting St. Louis Cardinals and left-hander Matthew Liberatore at PNC Park. Reynolds has been serving as the team's designated hitter to open the season due to a minor right-triceps injury, which probably helps explain why he's hit .182 (8-for-44) with a homer, two doubles, five RBI, one steal, three walks and 15 strikeouts in his first 10 games of the season. The 30-year-old All-Star should be back in the DH spot for the Bucs on Tuesday. In the meantime, veteran Andrew McCutchen is the DH and will bat in the two-hole, while Alexander Canario is starting in right field and hitting sixth on Monday against Liberatore. Canario has never faced Liberatore, while McCutchen has an RBI but is hitless in just six career at-bats. McCutchen has swung it well early in the season, going 6-for-19 with a homer and two RBI.

Pittsburgh Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said that outfielder Bryan Reynolds (triceps) is experiencing right-triceps soreness, but he's in the starting lineup on Wednesday as the designated hitter and is batting second against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Ryan Pepiot at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Reynolds has been able to hit, but throwing has been an issue, which is why Tommy Pham is making the start in left field on Wednesday. The issue isn't too serious for the 30-year-old, as he's played in all seven games so far, but it explains why he's been the DH for the last three contests. He's gone 6-for-26 in the early going with a double, two RBI, one stolen base, two walks and eight strikeouts in 28 plate appearances. It's something to watch, but for now, fantasy managers should carry on as usual with Reynolds in their starting lineups.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds will work as the team's right fielder in 2025, according to manager Derek Shelton. There was talk of the veteran possibly making a move to first base due to Spencer Horwitz's (thumb) injury, but he's apparently put those rumors to rest. He's not the only one making a move, as former shortstop Oneil Cruz is expected to play center for the Bucs, and newly signed Tommy Pham will man left field. Reynolds has played right field in the past, logging 398 innings there at the major-league level, so it should be somewhat familiar to him. Regardless of where he plays, the 30-year-old will be a reliable multi-category contributor again this season, as ATC projections foresee a .264-22-79-79-9 line with a .340 wOBA and 113 wRC+ in 2025. The two-time All-Star is fairly priced in drafts at the moment, owning an NFBC ADP of 91 overall compared to being ranked 84 overall at RotoBaller.

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is expected to see time at first base in 2025. While this will likely only be in a part-time role, this is a situation worth monitoring as it could provide Reynolds even more at-bats throughout the season. Rosenthal also noted that given Pittsburgh's offensive struggles last season, they would "ideally" like to add a first baseman and another corner outfielder. Last season, the 29-year-old posted a strong .275/.344/.427 line with 24 home runs and ten stolen bases. Reynolds enjoyed an impressive stretch during June and July when he held a stellar .328/.389/.566 slash line. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor who the Pirates bring in during free agency but should expect Reynolds to continue to serve as a staple in the starting nine in 2025.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs -- one from each side of the plate for the switch-hitter -- in Friday's 4-2 win over the Yankees. The 29-year-old collected three RBI in the contest, walked once, and scored twice as well. The home runs ended a long 21-game homerless stretch and gave him 24 on the year. With two games to go, the 2x All-Star will finish with strikingly similar results for the fourth consecutive season, logging a .276-24-88-72-10 line with a .344 wOBA and 118 wRC+, making him one of the game's more reliable multi-category producers.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) has returned to the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale at PNC Park against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander George Kirby, serving as the designated hitter and batting second. Reynolds missed Saturday's win with a sore lower back, but he's back in there just a day later. Bryan De La Cruz is in left field again and is batting sixth for the Bucs. It's a tough matchup, but Reynolds is a must-start for fantasy managers when he's active. In just two career at-bats against Kirby, he does have a hit and two RBI. The 29-year-old two-time All-Star has been in a little funk at the plate of late, but overall this month, he's hitting .273 (15-for-55) with a homer, three doubles, eight RBI and six runs scored in 13 contests. Get him back into your lineups for the series finale.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is getting the day off on Saturday in Game 2 of the series against the Seattle Mariners at PNC Park. Bryan De La Cruz will take his spot in left field and will bat fifth against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Reynolds appears to just be getting a normal day off after going hitless in eight at-bats with five strikeouts in his last two games. The 29-year-old two-time All-Star is a must-start when he's in the lineup, though, and has hit .273 (15-for-55) with a homer, three doubles, eight RBI and six runs scored in 13 games so far in August. De La Cruz has hit only .167 against Castillo in his career, but only in a sample size of six at-bats. The 27-year-old has some nice power, but he has yet to go deep in 12 games with the Pirates and has gone 10-for-50 (.200) with a walk and 19 strikeouts since being acquired in a trade from the Miami Marlins.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and his 19th home run of the season on Saturday, a two-run blast in the sixth inning that broke a 1-1 tie, with the Pirates eventually winning 4-2 over the Diamondbacks. After a relatively slow start to the season. the 29-year-old has turned it on since June 1, slashing .332/.396/.582 with nine doubles, two triples, and 12 home runs in 49 games. The switch-hitter now owns a .287-19-65-51-6 line with a .362 wOBA and 134 wRC+ on the season and should continue to be a solid contributor for fantasy.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds has been activated from the bereavement list on Monday. The 29-year-old sat out the weekend series which might've been a good time considering he has been dealing with a back issue. He'll make his return to the lineup on Monday which sends outfielder Jack Suwinski back to the minors. Reynolds will bat second and start in left field versus right-hander Jake Bloss. Fantasy managers who have Reynolds rostered can get him back in their lineups ahead of first pitch.

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Bryan Reynolds on the bereavement list on Thursday. They plan to add another player to the roster in a corresponding move before Friday's series opener in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. RotoBaller offers up its condolences to Reynolds and his family, but this move does buy him a few more days to rest up after he was scratched from Wednesday's series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals due to back spasms. Now that the 29-year-old All-Star is on the bereavement list, he could miss the entire series in Arizona. When healthy, the former second-round pick by the San Francisco Giants in 2016 out of Vanderbilt has been a must-start in fantasy lineups in his sixth year in the league, hitting .288/.353/.485 with an .839 OPS, 18 home runs, 61 RBI and five stolen bases in 101 games.

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton said that outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back), who was scratched from Wednesday's series finale against the visiting division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, is fine. Reynolds was moving around like he normally would by the end of Wednesday's game. His back "locked up on him" while he was getting out of his car on Wednesday morning and said there was simply not enough time to get warmed up because of the fact it was an afternoon game. Reynolds will travel with the team to Arizona for the start of a series on Friday against the Diamondbacks, but that doesn't mean the All-Star will be back in the starting lineup. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now. When he returns to the Bucs' lineup, Reynolds needs to be returned to all fantasy lineups.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the visiting division-rival St. Louis Cardinals due to back spasms. Reynolds is currently being examined and treated by the team's medical staff and he's considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers obviously need to remove him from their starting lineups for Wednesday's slate. Joshua Palacios will get the start in left field in his place and will bat sixth in the order against Cardinals left-hander Matthew Liberatore. This is the first time all year that the 29-year-old Reynolds will miss a game. The good news is the left-handed-hitting All-Star will have a scheduled day off on Thursday before Pittsburgh starts a weekend series in Arizona against the Diamondbacks, so perhaps Reynolds back will be feeling better by then.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 4-for-5 at the plate on Saturday with four singles and four RBI. Reynolds knocked his first two-run single of the game in the seventh frame to score Ke'Bryan Hayes and Connor Joe. Then, in the ninth inning, the 29-year-old hit his final single, which brought in Connor Joe for the second time and Yasmani Grandal. Through 95 games this season, the switch-hitter sits with a stellar .281/.342/.478 line, 17 home runs, 60 RBI, five stolen bases, and a 33:90 BB:K ratio. Since posting a remarkable 25-game hitting streak through June, the Vanderbilt product entered this game with a solid .245 AVG. Reynolds should be seen as a lineup staple in all leagues going forward and a viable play in all DFS formats.
