Since he hasn't thrown more than 111 1/3 innings in a season since 2013, he might be used as a swingman or multi-inning reliever -- roles that would cap his fantasy value because it would limit his chances at things like wins, quality starts and holds, not to mention keeping his other counting numbers down. Even in that role, though, he has good enough stuff to contribute in ERA and strikeouts, although he'll need to lower his walk rate from its usual double-digit percentage in order to help your WHIP. Reyes remains an elite dynasty-league prospect, but this year he might be underwhelming due to the combination of his ongoing recovery and an uncertain role."},"mostRecentNews":{"date":"Mon Nov 26","news":"Reyes (lat) is preparing for spring training as a starter, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports.","spin":"The Cardinals are going to manage Reyes' workload carefully in 2019, regardless of what his role shapes up to be. Injuries limited him to just 27 innings in 2018, and considering that he lost all of 2017 recovering from Tommy John surgery, it's not unreasonable to think that Reyes may spend some portion of the season in the bullpen. In any case, the Cardinals will likely ensure that Reyes is completely healthy when spring training begins before his role is written in anything more than pencil, and regardless of where he begins the season, expecting anything close to a typical starter's workload for him is overzealous."},"fullName":"Alex Reyes","playerId":5716}
