Bryan Reynolds

Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds was limited to designated hitter duties for the third consecutive game Wednesday because of right arm discomfort.

Tomczyk notes that the soreness has affected Reynolds' ability to throw, which is why he's been at the designated hitter position for the past few games. The 30-year-old has at least been in the lineup, but fantasy managers will want to keep an eye and make sure that he's playing until the soreness subsides.

Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Reynolds has been dealing with right triceps soreness that has impacting his throwing, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The Pirates likely are better off using Jack Suwinski over McCutchen against righties, especially since it means improving the outfield defense (Bryan Reynolds is DHing for the second time in three days). Still, it's surprising they're doing it often already. McCutchen didn't look great this spring, but he has four hard-hit balls and a couple of walks in 13 plate appearances thus far.
