Pablo Reyes Moves Into Leadoff Spot Thursday
1 year agoBoston Red Sox infielder Pablo Reyes is hitting out of the leadoff spot for Thursday's series finale versus the Kansas City Royals and left-hander Austin Cox. It's the first start of the season for Reyes in the leadoff spot while he has not started a game hitting higher than the six-hole in the lineup. The 29-year-old has had a nice season in part-time duty in the big leagues, hitting .321 with a .780 OPS across 92 trips to the plate. Reyes lacks power with just one homer and a .095 isolated power on the season but he has also struck out in just 13% of his plate appearances. Additionally, Reyes is hitting .458 with four doubles in 27 trips to the plate against southpaws this season.
