2024 Fantasy Outlook

Reyes fell into a good situation in 2023 with the Red Sox, whose middle infield was in flux all season. Trevor Story's elbow injury and Enrique Hernandez's backslide at the plate created opportunities for the journeyman infielder and others. The situation prior to spring training got less hopeful for Reyes after the Red Sox acquired Vaughn Grissom from Atlanta in the Chris Sale trade. Early on, Grissom is perceived as the leader to become Boston's everyday second baseman. The 30-year-old Reyes has never had more than 185 plate appearances in the majors and is probably going to serve as a backup utility infielder - manager Alex Cora said last season that he did not view Reyes as an everyday player.

Fills in at second base

SSBoston Red Sox

April 14, 2024

Reyes replaced an injured Enmanuel Valdez (thumb) at second base and went 1-for-1 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Angels.

ANALYSIS
Reyes is the likely fill-in at second base if Valdez's injury requires downtime. A post-game evaluation indicated Valdez's injury is just a bruised thumb, but he could need some time to heal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Not in long-term plans

SSBoston Red Sox

June 14, 2023

According to Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald, Reyes is expected to receive more playing time at shortstop going forward, though manager Alex Cora doesn't view the infielder as an everyday player.

ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old has a .288/.327/.346 slash line in 56 plate appearances this season, but he's apparently shown enough to receive a longer look at shortstop with the Red Sox reducing the role of Enrique Hernandez. Reyes won't be a lineup staple but for now appears atop the depth chart at the position, as Boston is without a clear answer while Yu Chang, Adalberto Mondesi and Trevor Story are on the injured list. Story likely won't be back until at least August while recovering from an elbow issue, while Chang and Mondesi recently suffered setbacks with their wrist and hamstring injuries, respectively.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020

2019

Reyes spent about half the season on the Pirates' big-league roster, mostly in a bench role. He saw time at six different positions but did very little in his 157 trips to the plate, hitting just .203/.274/.322 with two homers. According to Statcast, that line was a result of poor performance, not bad luck, as he finished with an xBA of .192 and an xSLG of .284. He did at least look far more competent in 51 games for Triple-A Indianapolis, hitting .286/.342/.543, but the Pirates have seemingly lost interest in a player who has yet to find big-league success through his age-26 season, as he was designated for assignment in January. Reyes' defensive versatility could help him find his way back to a bench spot at some point this season, but it's a stretch to predict a player with his lack of a track record to earn much playing time let alone to become a valuable fantasy asset.

Reyes began the season at Double-A but spent much of the year producing good numbers at Triple-A Indianapolis (hitting .289/.341/.435) before earning a big-league callup in September. He continued his hot hitting with the Pirates, posting a .293/.349/.483 slash line with three homers in 18 games while playing four different positions. Gregory Polanco's shoulder injury leaves playing time in the outfield available at least at the start of this season, and Reyes should get a shot to stake his claim. He doesn't project as anything close to a star, but the ability to play all over the field gives him multiple paths to big-league playing time. He could take a step forward offensively if the excellent plate discipline he showed in 2017 at Double-A (14.5% strikeout rate, 10.6% walk rate) begins to translate to the majors.
