Expected to see time at first base The Pirates plan to play Reynolds at first base at least on a part-time basis in 2025, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Impact 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 spot this offseason.

Belts two homers Reynolds went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Friday's win over the Yankees.

Reynolds is slashing .276/.344/.450 through 683 plate appearances.

Taking seat Sunday Reynolds is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Impact 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.
