Thu May 18 202312:28Nationals Sign Franmil Reyes To Minor-League Deal
The Washington Nationals signed free-agent outfielder Franmil Reyes to a minor-league deal on Thursday, according to a source. Reyes went 11-for-59 (.186) for the Kansas City Royals with two home runs, seven RBI, four walks and 24 strikeouts in 19 games before he was cut. The 27-year-old right-handed power hitter will resurface in the minors for the Nationals, but it remains to be seen if he can hit enough to make it back to the Show. There will be more opportunity in D.C., though, but Reyes needs to make more contact to turn things around. He hit 30 long balls and drove in 85 for the Cleveland Guardians in 2021, but Reyes has hit .217 with 16 homers and 54 RBI in 137 games since then.

Mon May 8 202312:07Franmil Reyes Designated For Assignment
The Kansas City Royals designated outfielder Franmil Reyes for assignment on Monday to make room for right-hander James McArthur on the 40-man roster. The Royals acquired McArthur from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for minor-league outfielder Junior Marin and cash considerations. Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Omaha last week after a rough start to the 2023 season. The 27-year-old right-handed power hitter went just 11-for-59 (.186) with two home runs, seven RBI, four walks and 24 strikeouts in 65 plate appearances and 19 games before the Royals cut him. Reyes hit 30 homers as recently as 2021 with the Cleveland Guardians, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to make it back to the big leagues at this point.

Wed May 3 202312:20Franmil Reyes Sent To Minors
The Kansas City Royals optioned outfielder Franmil Reyes to Triple-A Omaha before Tuesday's game. The move came after Reyes started to see a drop in playing time because of his struggles at the plate. The 27-year-old right-handed slugger struck out 36.9 percent of the time and had a .186/.231/.288 slash line with just two home runs, seven RBI, five runs scored and 24 strikeouts in 65 plate appearances and 19 games for the Royals. It's been a long fall for Reyes, who hit 30 home runs with the Cleveland Guardians in 2021. Especially if Reyes continues to strike out a ton in the minors, he could be a candidate to be designated for assignment. Fantasy managers should have moved on a long time ago.

Fri Apr 28 202314:15Franmil Reyes, Nicky Lopez Not Playing Against Twins
Kansas City Royals outfielder Franmil Reyes and infielder Nicky Lopez are not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against right-hander Pablo Lopez and the Minnesota Twins. Reyes went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Thursday and is hitting just .200 (11-for-55) with two home runs, seven RBI and 22 strikeouts in 61 plate appearances through the first 18 games in 2023. He's hitless in his last 13 at-bats. Vinnie Pasquantino is serving as the designated hitter and batting second, while Hunter Dozier is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth in the lineup against Lopez on Friday. Recently recalled Nick Pratto is getting the start at first base and is hitting sixth.

Fri Apr 21 202314:55Franmil Reyes Placed On Paternity Leave List
Kansas City Royals outfielder Franmil Reyes has been placed on the paternity leave list on Friday. The right-handed slugger is expected to miss two or three games while he's away from the team. In the meantime, catcher Freddy Fermin has been recalled from the minors. He appeared in three games last season, but is still seeking his first career hit. Fantasy managers can ignore Fermin as he's expected to serve as depth on the roster.

Wed Feb 15 202316:28Royals Sign Franmil Reyes To Minor-League Deal
The Kansas City Royals signed free-agent outfielder/designated hitter Franmil Reyes to a minor-league deal on Wednesday that includes a non-roster invite to major-league spring training, according to sources. The former Cleveland Guardian hit 30 home runs in 2021 but finished last year with the Chicago Cubs and hit a combined .221/.273/.365 with a career-low .638 OPS, 14 home runs, 47 RBI, 43 runs scored and two stolen bases in 473 plate appearances in 118 games played. Reyes had a career-high 37 bombs with the Guardians and San Diego Padres in 2019, so there is clearly a lot of power in his bat. The 27-year-old will need to make a lot more contact, though. His best opportunity in Kansas City will likely be as a platoon DH.

Thu Nov 10 202220:07Franmil Reyes Outrighted To The Minors
The Chicago Cubs outrighted Franmil Reyes, David Bote, Steven Brault, Narciso Crook, and Anderson Espinoza to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday after they all cleared waivers. Alec Mills and Brad Wieck were also outrighted to Iowa after being activated from the 60-day injured list. Reyes began the 2022 season with the Cleveland Guardians, but he was traded to the Cubs after hitting .213/.254/.350 with nine home runs, 28 RBI, 24 runs scored and a whopping 104 strikeouts in 280 plate appearances over 70 games. In his 48 games with Chicago, he went 41-for-175 (.234) with five round-trippers, 19 RBI, 19 runs scored and 53 strikeouts. It's been a long fall for the 27-year-old, who hit 30 home runs and drove in 85 runs just last year for Cleveland.

Tue Aug 9 202216:51Franmil Reyes Hitting Fifth In Cubs Debut Tuesday
Chicago Cubs outfielder/designated hitter Franmil Reyes is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth in his debut for the team on Tuesday against Washington Nationals right-hander Paolo Espino. Reyes was designated for assignment this week by the Cleveland Guardians after hitting just .213/.254/.350 with nine home runs, 28 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases in 263 at-bats in 2022. The rebuilding Cubs will take a flier on the 27-year-old Dominican slugger, who hit 30 home runs and drove in 85 in 115 games last season. Reyes will likely serve as the team's regular designated hitter the rest of the way, and a change of scenery to Wrigley Field could help him turn things around at the plate.

Mon Aug 8 202215:06Cubs Acquire Franmil Reyes From Guardians
The Chicago Cubs acquired outfielder Franmil Reyes, who was designated for assignment by the Cleveland Guardians last week, from the Guardians on Monday, according to multiple sources. Reyes is owed around $1.5 million the rest of this season and is arbitration-eligible this winter. He's been described as a great clubhouse guy and prior to the 2022 season had put up big power numbers. However, the 27-year-old Dominican slugger has fallen off a cliff this year, hitting just .213/.254/.350 with nine home runs, 28 RBI, 24 runs scored, two stolen bases and 104 strikeouts in 280 plate appearances over 70 games. The rebuilding Cubs will take a flier on him and hope he can work out his issues at the plate.

Sat Aug 6 202221:49Franmil Reyes Designated For Assignment On Saturday
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Franmil Reyes was designated for assignment on Saturday. He's struggled mightily this season, slashing .213/.254/.350 with nine home runs and 28 RBI across 280 plate appearances in 70 games. The Cleveland Guardians optioned the 27-year-old on Tuesday, and he will now be removed from the 40-man roster. Despite his struggles this season, Reyes smashed 30 homers and drove in 85 runs in 2021. An MLB team will likely take a chance and claim Reyes on waivers with his past success.

Tue Aug 2 202222:29Franmil Reyes Optioned To The Minors
The Cleveland Guardians optioned outfielder Franmil Reyes to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. Oscar Gonzalez (intercostal) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Reyes has struggled mightily this season, slashing .213/.254/.350 with nine home runs and 28 RBI across 280 plate appearances in 70 games. The 27-year-old smashed 30 homers and drove in 85 runs in 2021. He will look to get back on track in the minors, but fantasy managers can move on from Reyes in most league formats. Gonzalez slashed .285/.315/.431 with a pair of home runs and 14 RBI in 32 games before getting injured. The 24-year-old is a speculative add in deep-league formats and should see everyday at-bats as the team's starting right fielder.

Tue Aug 2 202200:45Franmil Reyes Could Be Optioned Tuesday
The Athletic's Zack Meisel reported Monday that Cleveland Guardians designated hitter/outfielder Franmil Reyes was cleaning out his locker after Monday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks and could be optioned to Triple-A Columbus. Reyes pinch-hit in the game, going 0-for-1. Franimal has served as a power option for fantasy managers for much of his career, but he has managed a meager .213/.254/.350 slash line with nine home runs and 28 RBI this season. This move may come if outfielder Oscar Gonzalez (intercostal) were to be activated from the injured list. Fantasy managers have likely lost trust in Reyes, and this move would solidify that judgment.

Sat Jul 9 202213:15Franmil Reyes Hits 100th Career Homer
Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Franmil Reyes reached a major milestone in Friday night's game, hitting the 100th home run of his career. It's his eighth long ball of this season. Reyes went 1-for-4 with the two-run shot. Fantasy managers certainly expected Reyes to reach this point earlier in the year, but it's been an underwhelming campaign overall, with Reyes putting up a .633 OPS in 205 plate appearances. The major culprit has been his 82 strikeouts versus just 12 walks, but with three homers in his last seven games, it's possible the power could start to outweigh the swing-and-miss in his game.

Mon Jun 27 202215:13Franmil Reyes Not Starting On Monday
Cleveland Guardians outfielder and designated hitter Franmil Reyes isn't in the lineup on Monday for a matchup with the Minnesota Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray. Reyes is batting .209 with a .265 on-base percentage and four home runs in 166 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Owen Miller moving to designated hitter and hitting seventh against Gray and the Twins. Miller is batting .258 with a .313 on-base percentage, four home runs, and a stolen base in 246 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers in search of streaming help are probably better off looking elsewhere.

Tue Jun 21 202216:28Franmil Reyes Activated And Batting Sixth On Tuesday
The Cleveland Guardians have activated outfielder Franmil Reyes (hamstring) from the injured list. He will be batting sixth and filling in as designated hitter for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Reyes missed nearly a month due to right hamstring tightness. The 26-year-old slugger has been held to just 35 games so far this year and he's struggled at the plate when he's been active. Over those 35 games, he's slashed .195/.255/.278 with three home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs.

Sat Jun 18 202221:37Franmil Reyes Expected To Return Tuesday
Cleveland Guardians outfielder Franmil Reyes (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's series against the Minnesota Twins. He has been sidelined since May 25 with right hamstring tightness. The 26-year-old has struggled this year, slashing just .195/.255/.278 with three home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs scored, and 57 strikeouts in 145 plate appearances. He has hit well during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus and is 6-for-16 with a double, homer, and four RBI over four games. Reyes should provide fantasy managers power after bashing 30 home runs in 2021.

Sat Jun 11 202211:24Franmil Reyes To Start Rehab Assignment Tuesday
Cleveland Guardians skipper Terry Francona said that outfielder/designated hitter Franmil Reyes (hamstring) will begin his minor league rehab assignment as the DH for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday. Reyes has been sidelined since May 25 with right hamstring tightness, but he's getting closer to a return to Cleveland's lineup after taking batting practice on Wednesday. It's possible that the 26-year-old power hitter will return to the Guardians lineup at some point late next week. Reyes has really struggled this year, hitting just .195/.255/.278 with three home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and 57 strikeouts in 145 plate appearances over 35 games, so hopefully the time off allowed him to get his mind right.

Thu May 26 202218:13Franmil Reyes Placed On Injured List
Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Franmil Reyes (hamstring) was placed on the injured list on Thursday with right hamstring tightness. The move will be retroactive to Wednesday, May 25. Reyes was also out on Wednesday. The 26-year-old has had a tough year so far in 35 games for the Guardians, so perhaps a little break will be the right remedy for the power-hitting right-hander. Reyes is slashing .195/.255/.278 with only three home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs scored in 145 plate appearances this year. He has hit just .095 with a double, an RBI and eight strikeouts in seven games since suffering his injury. Third baseman Jose Ramirez will serve as the DH on Thursday and hit third, while Ernie Clement gets the start at third base and is hitting seventh against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal.

Wed May 25 202216:55Franmil Reyes Sitting Against Astros On Wednesday
Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Franmil Reyes is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against right-hander Cristian Javier and the Houston Astros. Josh Naylor will be filling in as designated hitter for the game. Reyes has yet to settle in at the plate this year. Over 35 games, he's slashing just .195/.255/.278 with three home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs. The 26-year-old has continued to make elite hard contact at the plate this year. His 94 mph average exit velocity is a career-best clip and it ranks in the 98th percentile. Fantasy managers should remain patient with the slugger as better times should be ahead.
