Alex Reyes Stats

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.

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes, formerly the team's closer, pitched in the sixth inning of a 4-2 deficit on Tuesday. Reyes started the season as the closer and locked down the ninth for the first few months of the season, but struggled mightily in August and was removed from the closer's role. Giovanny Gallegos has been closing for the Cardinals since Reyes was removed from the role, but the team has said they'd like Reyes to have a chance to work back into the ninth. On Tuesday, he pitched one inning, allowing a solo home run but striking out two. With the Cardinals holding on to the outskirts of the Wild Card race, it's unlikely Reyes makes it back into the ninth as long as other relievers are pitching well.

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Alex Reyes was not called upon for Monday's save chance in a 3-1 game against the Cincinnati Reds. This comes on the heels of a blown save for Reyes which was followed by the team saying they would be reevaluating their ninth inning options. It will most likely end up as a closer-by-committee situation with Reyes still involved, but Giovanny Gallegos got the save on Monday and Genesis Cabrera figures to mix in as well. Reyes could well earn his inning back if he starts pitching better, but he's been escaping a lot of innings by the skin of his teeth all season long. Gallegos could take the job and never look back.
