Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Not expected to miss more time
Rotowire
Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Wednesday that Reynolds (back) is fine and will travel with the club for its road trip that begins Friday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Reynolds had to be scratched from Wednesday's lineup versus the Cardinals after his back locked up on him when he was getting out of the car earlier in the day.
