2025 Player Outlook
The Pirates want to get Reynolds some time at first base this season, and the 1B/OF eligibility will be a welcomed addition for fantasy managers. Reynolds has remained very consistent over the years, hitting at least .260 with 24 home runs in each of the last four seasons. His 1B eligibility will be enticing, as first base isn’t exactly the deepest position in fantasy baseball this season. While Reynolds seems like a safe projection for yet another season of hitting .260+ and 25-ish home runs, it is worth noting that his contact rate has dropped each of the last three seasons, with last year’s 72.9% contact rate being the lowest of his career. I like the lineup around him, and the price point in drafts is fair for his consistency and projectability.
Player News
Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Tuesday in a loss to the Cardinals.
Reynolds was one of the few bright spots for the Pirates on a 38-degree evening at PNC Park.
Bryan Reynolds is not in the lineup for Monday’s game agains the division-rival Cardinals.
It’s Reynolds first day off this season after starting 10 straight contests between right field and DH as he continues to play through lingering right triceps soreness. The 30-year-old has been ice-cold so far at the dish, batting .182 (8-for-44) with one homer and one steal in 47 plate appearances. It’ll be Alexander Canario in right field and Andrew McCutchen at DH on Monday night.
Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk told reporters that Bryan Reynolds is currently dealing with soreness in his right triceps.
Tomczyk notes that the soreness has affected Reynolds’ ability to throw, which is why he’s been at the designated hitter position for the past few games. The 30-year-old has at least been in the lineup, but fantasy managers will want to keep an eye and make sure that he’s playing until the soreness subsides.
Bryan Reynolds homered twice to help the Pirates to a 4-2 win over the Yankees on Friday.
