On base four times Reynolds went 2-for-2 with two walks, two runs scored and an RBI on Thursday against the Tigers.
Impact Reynolds reached base in all four of his plate appearances and continued his strong start to the campaign. He's now tallied three multi-hit games in his last five starts and is hitting .313/.418/.463 across 79 plate appearances. Reynolds should maintain a spot in the heart of the Pirates' order, giving him the opportunity to accrue solid counting stats -- even in a subpar lineup.

Productive day at plate Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, and three total runs scored in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Brewers. He was also hit by a pitch.
Impact Reynolds hit a double in the third inning before scoring on Colin Moran's three-run homer. In the seventh, Reynolds restored the Pirates' lead with a two-run shot. He then served as the initial runner in the 10th and scored the last go-ahead run on a double by Moran. Through 68 plate appearances, Reynolds has a .317/.397/.483 slash line with two homers, seven RBI and 11 runs scored. He's 0-for-1 on stolen base attempts, but speed isn't a large part of the outfielder's game.

Multi-hit effort Sunday Reynolds went 4-for-5 in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Cubs.
Impact It's looking more and more like his poor offensive work in 2020 (.189/.275/.357) was an anomaly. Reynolds, who's batting .324, continues to hit third in the lineup while playing left field. There has been talk of shifting him over to center field to make room for Phillip Evans in the outfield when Ke'Bryan Hayes (wrist) returns to third base, but nothing has yet been decided.

Drives in pair Saturday Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a double, walk and two RBI in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Cubs.
Impact If the team's center field platoon of Anthony Alford and Dustin Fowler continues to struggle, then there's a chance Reynolds could shift to center, making space for hot-hitting Phillip Evans in left. Reynolds had a potential infield single taken away from him Saturday when the umpire ruled that he ran inside the baseline.

Keller shines, Pirates end 6-game skid, tag Davies, Cubs 8-2
Mitch Keller pitched five efficient innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates used an early burst to chase Zach Davies in an 8-2 win over the Chicago CubsAPRIL 11, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Looks to rebound Saturday Reynolds, who went 0-for-5 on Thursday, has five hits in 14 career at-bats against Saturday's opposing starter, Zach Davies.
Impact Reynolds never went more than one start without reaching base as a rookie in 2019, when he slashed .314/.377/.503 in 546 plate appearances. Avoiding prolonged slumps, like his 5-for-44 start in 2020, will go a long way if the outfielder, who never hit under .300 prior to last summer, wants to get back on track in 2021.
