The Pirates plan to play Reynolds at first base, at least on a part-time basis, in 2025, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Reynolds has never played first base in pro ball, but he began working out there in September of this past season. The soon-to-be 30-year-old graded out as one of the worst outfield defenders in baseball in 2024, ranking in the first percentile in Outs Above Average. How much action Reynolds ultimately sees at first base could depend not only on how well he takes to the position but also how the Pirates address the position this offseason.

Reynolds went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Yankees. Reynolds tied the game at 2-2 with his solo shot in the sixth inning. He then drilled a go-ahead two-run shot in the eighth. Reynolds snapped a 21-game homerless drought, during which he posted a disappointing .580 OPS. He's up to 24 home runs, matching his total from both 2023 and 2021. Reynolds is slashing .276/.344/.450 through 683 plate appearances.

Reynolds is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds. This looks like a breather for Reynolds, who is in the midst of a 3-for-23 cold spell. After totaling 18 home runs in the first half, Reynolds has hit just four homers since the All-Star break, and none since Sept. 2. Billy Cook will get the start in left field, batting ninth against right-hander Hunter Greene.

Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI on Friday against the Royals. Reynolds recorded his third consecutive multi-hit game and second straight start with a pair of doubles. He hasn't homered since Sept. 2 but has still managed seven RBI and five runs scored while hitting .263 in his last 10 games.

Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Thursday against the Nationals. Reynolds logged his fourth stolen base in his last 13 games to reach 10 for the season. He remains a very steady contributor overall, as he now has 22 or more home runs in each of the last four seasons and has double-digit steals in each of the last two campaigns.
