Alex Reyes Fantasy

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Alex Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday. With an unknown amount of time left until Opening Day, things can still change, but teams are trying to cut down their rosters regardless. Reyes still has tantalizing upside and is still only 25 years old, but injuries have limited him to just 53 big league innings since 2016. He's worth a late-round pick in deeper leagues because of his potential, but anyone drafting him should be ready for a roller coaster ride. It is still somewhat unclear what role Reyes will fill when he reaches the Cardinals big league roster.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes pitched two innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Houston Astros. He struck out four while allowing a run on three hits and a walk. It was mostly a positive sign from Reyes, who lowered his spring ERA to 10.80 after a rough few outings. Reyes was originally fighting for a rotation spot, but seems much more likely to end up in the bullpen. He has tons of upside, but injuries have kept him off the field for most of his career. He's worth picking up as a speculative piece in most formats, but there's a zero-floor risk involved.

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes allowed a solo home run in his one inning of work on Friday. Pitching against the New York Mets in a Grapefruit League game, Reyes notched two strikeouts but coughed up a homer to Andres Gimenez. The outing lowered Reyes' ERA to 20.25. The often-injured but super-talented Reyes is reportedly among those being considered for a rotation spot, but he's more likely to end up in the bullpen, at least to start the season. He's a guy to keep an eye on in all formats, as he could be a real fantasy asset if he reaches his potential.
