Sun Apr 28 | 08:47 | Bryan Reynolds Hits Go-Ahead Home Run In Win |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds blasted an extra-inning go-ahead two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Giants. The switch-hitter went 2-for-5 in the game with the home run breaking a 1-1 tie in the top of the tenth inning. The home run came off of the Giants' LHP Taylor Rogers and was the first home run of the year that Reynolds has hit off of a lefty with his other three coming off righties. The 29-year-old is having a solid season thus far, posting a .264/.372/.418 slash line with four home runs, 17 RBI, 11 runs scored, two stolen bases, and a strong 14.7% BB% through 28 games. |

The 29-year-old is off to a great start to 2024 with a .323/.447/.548 triple slash line to go along with a homer, three runs scored, and nine RBI.

Thu Mar 28 | 14:09 | Bryan Reynolds In Opening Day Lineup |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) was dealing with back discomfort earlier in the week but is confirmed to be starting in the Opening Day lineup on Thursday against the Miami Marlins and left-hander Jesus Luzardo, batting in the two-hole. The switch-hitter was held out of the final three games of spring training. Reynolds will look to have another successful fantasy season, as he hit 27 home runs with a .263 batting average last year. |

Mon Mar 25 | 16:06 | Bryan Reynolds Dealing With Back Discomfort |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) has been held out for the last three days in spring training due to minor mid-back discomfort. Director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said that Reynolds will be fine and good to go for Opening Day this Thursday versus the Miami Marlins. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter won't finish off the Grapefruit League schedule, but the Bucs are just exercising an abundance of caution with one of their stars with the regular season starting later this week. Reynolds has hit four home runs in 15 spring training games, so he appears to be ready for the regular season to start. Although Reynolds doesn't have a ton of protection around him in Pittsburgh's lineup, he's a low-end No. 2 outfield option for fantasy managers. |

Fri Mar 22 | 09:54 | Bryan Reynolds Goes Yard |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's Grapefruit League action versus the Toronto Blue Jays. The home run would be his fourth of the spring and he now has six RBI. The power has been there for the 29-year-old this spring, but other than that, he has hit a lowly .190 in 42 at-bats. It's never a bad thing when half your hits go over the wall, so it is a strong sign to see Reynolds has been producing power. Despite the low average, managers should read too much into as Reynolds has been as steady as they come in the outfield for managers in all formats. With a career batting average and .277 and 20 or more homers in three straight seasons, Reynolds is worth the price tag of his ADP of 80, |

Wed Feb 28 | 17:04 | Bryan Reynolds Homers In Second Spring Game |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds made his spring debut on Sunday in a 2-0 Grapefruit League loss to the Orioles. The switch hitter did nothing of note, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout. The former All-Star's second game on Tuesday, a 13-4 win over the Braves, got things headed in the right direction by going 1-for-3 with his first home run of the spring. It was a 2-run shot that went over the batter's eye in centerfield off Braves reliever Ben Bowden. It came from the right side, and although he's hit for a slightly better average over his career from the right side of the plate (.282 vs .275), his power typically comes from the left side (.160 ISO vs .215 ISO). Regardless, he's been a valuable contributor in most categories other than stolen bases over the years, but with the rule changes last season he stole a career-high 12 bases. Perhaps this aspect of his game has been overlooked in drafts, with an ADP of 90 versus a RotoBaller rank of 79. |

Sat Sep 16 2023 | 21:57 | Bryan Reynolds Drives In Two In Saturday's Loss |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds had one hit in four at-bats on Saturday against the New York Yankees, a two-run homer in the bottom of the first. His club still lost, though, 6-3. Reynolds has been solid once again this season, as he's slashed .272/.333/.474 with 22 home runs, 78 runs, 77 RBI, and 12 steals across 134 games. The 28-year-old is a starter in all formats, and he should continue to provide value in all five categories. |

Mon Aug 28 2023 | 18:21 | Bryan Reynolds Hitting The Bench Monday |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Zack Greinke. The 28-year-old acted as the club's designated hitter in Sunday's series finale with the Chicago Cubs but went hitless with a strikeout across four trips to the plate. It's been a solid, if unspectacular season for the outfielder who has hit .263 with 18 home runs, 10 stolen bases, and a .782 OPS across 117 appearances. That production has produced a 108 wRC+ that sits well below his 123 mark from last season and his 139 figure from the 2021 campaign. Nonetheless, his solid combination of power and speed are certainly palatable for fantasy managers while Joshua Palacios will take over in left field Monday evening in Kansas City. |

Mon Aug 14 2023 | 12:32 | Bryan Reynolds Goes Deep Twice In Game 2 Loss |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds hit two home runs in Sunday's 6-5 loss in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the visiting Cincinnati Reds. Reynolds finished his day going 2-for-5 with two RBI, two runs scored and two strikeouts after going 0-for-4 in the first game of the doubleheader. The 28-year-old switch-hitter is now up to 17 home runs, 56 RBI, nine stolen bases and 60 runs scored to go along with a .270 batting average (109-for-404) this year. Reynolds is really enjoying the month of August so far, going 18-for-51 (.353) with five home runs, two doubles, seven RBI, a stolen base and 12 runs scored in 13 games (12 starts). Fantasy managers should continue to roll him out there in their starting lineups on an everyday basis. |

Sun Aug 6 2023 | 13:22 | Bryan Reynolds Getting The Day Off On Sunday |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is not in the lineup on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers. This is just a day of rest for the 28-year-old outfielder. Reynolds was mired in a months-long slump but has started to show some signs of life at the dish, particularly over the last seven contests. In that span, he's slashing .367/.406/.600 with two home runs, four RBI, and a stolen base (30 at-bats). Josh Palacios is starting in left field and batting leadoff against Brandon Woodruff and the Brewers in Reynolds' absence. |

Sat Aug 5 2023 | 11:08 | Bryan Reynolds Raps 13th Homer In Victory |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder/designated hitter Bryan Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored, and a double in Friday's 8-3 triumph over the Milwaukee Brewers. The 28-year-old doubled on the first pitch he saw in the second inning to drive in a run and next knocked a leadoff single during the fourth frame. Reynolds then went deep in the sixth to launch back-to-back jacks with Josh Palacios. While Reynolds' overall fantasy upside remains limited out of the lowly Pirates lineup, the former All-Star has operated as the offense's engine, leading the club in hits (99) and runs (51) overall. The switch-hitting Reynolds is also to riding an eight-game hitting streak, batting .412 (14-for-34) with three homers, five RBI, and seven runs scored in this period. |

Wed Jul 19 2023 | 16:13 | Bryan Reynolds Continues To Struggle |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds went 0-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in a 7-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. The struggles continue for Reynolds who is batting just .205 with a .609 OPS over the last 30 contests. He nearly ended the Pirates' seventh-inning rally when he appeared to ground into a double play with the bases loaded to end the inning before a team challenge ruled it a force-out instead. As a result, Reynolds was awarded an RBI and came around to score later in the frame. The 28-year-old was one of the best players in all of fantasy baseball in April after he slashed .323/.351/.586 with five home runs, 22 RBI, and five stolen bases. However, it's been a tough slog ever since as his current batting line sits at .255/.323/.427 with just nine home runs, 44 RBI, and eight stolen bases. It's worth noting that Reynolds landed on the injured list back on June 22 with lower back inflammation. Although it was a minimum stay on the IL, back issues can be tricky and tend to linger. He still has time to turn things around but it's fair to say he's been underwhelming overall. |

Sun Jul 2 2023 | 12:11 | Bryan Reynolds Back From The Injured List |
The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) from the 10-day injured list on Sunday and placed infielder/outfielder Ji Hwan Bae (foot) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Reynolds is back in left field and is hitting second in the batting order for Sunday's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Colin Rea. Fantasy managers are going to want to get Reynolds back into their starting lineups right away. The 28-year-old switch-hitting outfielder will return to a .279/.350/.473 slash line with an .823 OPS, eight home runs, 20 doubles, three triples, 40 RBI, eight stolen bases and 38 runs scored in 294 plate appearances over 68 games. Reynolds had been out since June 19 to minor lower-back inflammation. Reynolds hit .268 (15-for-56) with a homer, four doubles and four RBI in 16 games in June. |

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) hit on the field on Thursday and will return from the 10-day injured list "in the coming days."

Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups as soon as possible, as Reynolds continues to be one of the better hitters in all of baseball. He's currently batting .279 (72-for-258) with eight long balls, 20 doubles, three triples, 40 RBI, eight stolen bases and 38 runs scored in 68 games played. |

Wed Jun 28 2023 | 16:30 | Bryan Reynolds Hoping To Return Friday |
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) said Tuesday night that he did some hitting earlier in the day and will attempt to throw on Wednesday. He is feeling good and is hoping to be activated from the 10-day injured list when he's eligible this Friday. "That's the hope," Reynolds said. Hopefully for fantasy managers, Reynolds will be back in Friday's lineup for the start of a crucial divisional series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 28-year-old landed on the IL due to lower-back inflammation, but it hasn't been a serious issue and he should be back this weekend.

Thu Jun 22 2023 | 17:20 | Bryan Reynolds Lands On Injured List |
The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Bryan Reynolds (back) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday due to lower-back stiffness. The Pirates initially didn't believe that Reynolds' back injury was serious, but they've changed their tune and will now have him sit out for at least the next 10 days. Depending on how he recovers, there's a chance fantasy managers won't have the 28-year-old switch-hitter until after the All-Star break. Reynolds is having a fine season so far, slashing .279/.350/.473 with an .823 OPS, eight home runs, 20 doubles, three triples, 40 RBI, eight stolen bases and 38 runs scored in 294 trips to the plate over 68 games. Until Reynolds is able to return, expect the Pirates to roll with Josh Palacios and Connor Joe in left field. |

Reynolds is dealing with a tight lower back, although the Pirates aren't too worried right now that he'll need to go on the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider the 28-year-old left-handed hitter to be day-to-day. Josh Palacios is getting another start in left field on Wednesday and will hit fifth in the batting order against Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks. On the season through 68 games played, Reynolds is hitting a useful .279 (72-for-258) with eight homers, 20 doubles, three triples, 40 RBI, eight stolen bases, 38 runs scored, a .350 on-base percentage and an .823 OPS in 294 plate appearances. |
