Bryan Reynolds confirmed Tuesday that he is focusing exclusively on right field rather than preparing for a potential role at first base. The Pirates had explored the idea of using him at first last September, but even after Spencer Horwitz’s injury, there are no current plans for Reynolds to shift positions.

Reynolds sticking to the outfield means fantasy managers should not expect him to gain first-base eligibility. His value remains steady as a reliable contributor in batting average, runs, and power production. While position flexibility would have been a bonus, Reynolds’ primary focus in right field should allow him to remain locked in offensively for the Pirates.

Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-3 in the Pirates' 4-2 victory over the Yankees with two home runs, two runs scored, and three RBI.

This performance underscores Reynolds's ability to deliver power when it counts, boosting his season home run tally to 24. His consistent presence in the lineup, evidenced by his participation in 154 games, and a solid .276 batting average make him a reliable fantasy option. While his strikeout rate remains a concern, his knack for timely hitting and run production, coupled with a decent .344 wOBA, should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.

Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in the Pirates' 8-3 loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's struggles, Reynolds's ability to hit for extra bases was a small silver lining in an otherwise disappointing game. His performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .281 batting average with a decent power output of 22 homers and 28 doubles. However, his high strikeout rate and relatively low walk rate might be areas of concern for fantasy managers. Moving forward, Reynolds remains a reliable option in most fantasy formats, especially given his consistent ability to contribute in multiple categories, but the lack of support around him in the Pirates' lineup could limit his run-scoring and RBI opportunities.
