Alex Reyes Stats

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Alex Reyes will get the ball for the second game of Mondays doubleheader against the Cubs, marking his first Major League start since 2018. Reyes has been severely limited by injuries over the past four years, but heralded as one of the Majors top prospects, the hard-throwing righty immediately brings fantasy intrigue to the table. Across 54 career big league innings, he has compiled a 2.17 ERA with just two home runs allowed. Should things go off without a hitch Monday, he would figure to remain among St. Louis starting rotation later in the week against Cincinnati, which would give season-long owners a chance to utilize him as a streamer option in all-sized formats.

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Alex Reyes will join the Major League roster ahead of Fridays game against the Cubs. Reyes, who rejoined the team in July after having tested positive for COVID-19, has been unable to remain healthy enough to impact the Cardinals since 2016. Heralded as one of the games premier pitching prospects, the role that St. Louis envisions for Reyes is murky, but at still just 25 years old, his upside remains immense. The Cardinals bullpen has been taxed early in the year and its easy to see how Reyes' high-octane arm could translate to the role, in which case season-long owners in leagues of 12 or more teams would want to snatch him up.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said that pitchers Alex Reyes and Genesis Cabrera are "getting closer" to joining the team for workouts at summer camp. Reyes has not been at camp for undisclosed reasons, while Cabrera tested positive for COVID-19 during intake testing at the beginning of camp. He was asymptomatic. With Opening Day less than a week away, their availability for the start of the season is in question, and Shildt said the team won't rush them. With John Brebbia (elbow) and Jordan Hicks out for the season, St. Louis could use both Reyes and Cabrera to strengthen their bullpen. Cabrera has an electric fastball from the left side, while Reyes, 25, is trying to rebound from three lost seasons due to injury. Reyes was once a top prospect, but he likely won't have any redraft appeal unless he finds his way into the starting rotation at some point.
