Alex Reyes Stats

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes ended the Cardinals season in the National League Wild Card Game by giving up a two-run walk off home run to Chris Taylor in the bottom of the ninth. Reyes, who seemingly walked every other batter he faced this season and struggled down the stretch, was inexplicably called upon to pitch with a runner on second in the bottom of the ninth inning of a winner-take-all game. The loss on the box score goes to T.J. McFarland, who had left the runner on base, but the real loss is split between manager Mike Schildt and Reyes. Reyes has excellent stuff and is hard to hit, but you can get on base against him almost every time by simply not swinging the bat.

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes pitched poorly in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader, but ended up with a win anyway. Reyes pitched 1 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on two hits and two walks, striking out three and allowing a home run. It was vintage Reyes, who threw only 18 of his 33 pitches for strikes. The win puts him at 10-8 with a 3.28 ERA, and he doesn't seem anywhere close to regaining his closer's role. The middle reliever doesn't need to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes earned a win in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. After the Cardinals starter made it through just four innings, Reyes was called on and pitched the fifth and sixth innings. In his two innings of work, he allowed just one hit and struck out two. Of his 29 pitches, 18 were strikes. Reyes was removed from the closer's role earlier this month, but has been mostly solid in lower leverage situations since then. It's unclear if or when he will be given a chance to make his way back to the ninth inning. The win improves his record to 6-8 and lowers his ERA to an even 3.00. If he's pitching middle innings, though, he likely shouldn't be rostered on most fantasy playoff teams.
