Alex Reyes Being Stretched Out As Starter
5 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals pitcher Alex Reyes is on a starter's workload this spring and impressed during live batting practice on Monday. With Miles Mikolas (elbow) expected to miss the start of the regular season, Reyes, along with John Gant, Ryan Helsley, Genesis Cabrera, Daniel Poncedeleon and Austin Gomber, will be looking to win the No. 5 rotation spot. As of now, Carlos Martinez and Kwang-Hyun Kim are the favorites for the final two spots in the rotation. Reyes, a former top prospect, might have the most upside of those competing for a spot, but he's also missed three years with injuries. There's also some appeal with him in a late-inning role, but Reyes would be a wild card as a fantasy streamer if he makes some starts early in the season.
