Alex Reyes

The Cardinals are hoping RHP Alex Reyes winds up with a "high-leverage" bullpen role this season.

Fantasy Impact

Reyes has dealt with a plethora of injuries in recent seasons and wasn't even that effective when with the big-league club last year. Still, he's just 25 years old and possesses the raw talent to be come an electric weapon out of the bullpen.

The Cardinals announce Alex Reyes will miss two or three starts with a strained pectoral muscle.

Fantasy Impact

It has been a frustrating season for Reyes, who hasn't even been pitching well in Triple-A lately. He isn't worth stashing in re-draft leagues and his shine has faded a bit for dynasty purposes.

Cardinals manager Mike Shildt says Alex Reyes will make at least one more start with Triple-A Memphis.

Fantasy Impact

There was some thought that Reyes could join the big league rotation as soon as this weekend, but he'll spend at least one more start in the minors for now. Whenever Reyes gets the call he'll be an intriguing fantasy option. Those in deeper leagues might want to stash him now.

Alex Reyes (finger) is likely to start for Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Reyes fractured his pinkie punching a wall in the end of April. He has been making rehab appearances as a starter in High-A but is now on the fast track to joining the St. Louis bullpen. He's someone to start stashing in deeper leagues. The 24-year-old was once considered the best pitching prospect in all of baseball, and he still possesses a filthy arsenal of pitches.

Alex Reyes (finger) threw 60-70 pitches to live hitters on Tuesday at the Cardinals' spring training complex.

Fantasy Impact

Reyes broke his pinky on his non-throwing hand by punching a wall following a rough start in Triple-A. It has been a disappointing start to the 2019 season for Reyes, who began the year in the big league bullpen. Once he's healthy he'll rejoin the Triple-A rotation with the hope of making an impact in St. Louis later this summer.
