Pirates see signs of progress amid another dismal finish

Not in Sunday's lineup Reynolds is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Reynolds went 4-for-5 with a double, a triple and a run Saturday to raise his batting average over .300, and that will end up being his final start of the campaign. Unless he makes an appearance off the bench, the 26-year-old will finish 2021 with a .303/.391/.523 slash line, 24 homers, 35 doubles, eight triples, 90 RBI and 93 runs in 158 games.

Goes for four hits in win Reynolds went 4-for-5 with two singles, a double, a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Reds.
Impact Reynolds fell a homer short of the cycle Saturday, pouring in his third four-hit game of the season. The first-time All-Star knocked in the winning run as well, scoring Yoshi Tsutsugo on an RBI triple that put the Bucs ahead for good. Reynolds entered play batting .298, but he pushed his average to .303 with this outburst. He'll look to keep it in the .300s in the Pirates' final game of the season Sunday, though we wouldn't be surprised if the team helps him protect that magic number.

Through his last six games, Reynolds has gone 9-for-21 (.429).

Contreras 3 RBIs, Cubs beat Pirates, end 7-game losing skid

Hitting third after three-hit game Reynolds will start in center field and bat third Wednesday against the Cubs.
Impact Reynolds' bat has cooled off in September, but he had a bounce-back game in Tuesday's 8-6 win, going 3-for-4 with a double and three runs. The 59-98 Pirates may tinker with lineups over the final five games of the campaign, but the 26-year-old All-Star should be one of the few constants.

Tough-luck stretch continues Reynolds went 0-for-3 with a pair of walks in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Reds.
Impact He's now batting .295, a three-month low, with a September slash line (.262/.397/.492) that includes a .271 BABIP -- he held a .342 BABIP through August. Reynolds has also been pitched around more frequently, as evidenced by a 14:12 BB:K in September. He's made 11 outs with exit velocities better than 90-mph in his last 10 starts, so it's possible some of those outs will start dropping in again.
