Description: Cleveland 1B/3B Mark Reynolds is 1-for-10 with six strikeouts against Kansas City starter james Shields. | Insight: Reynolds has one homer in his last 15 games and just one hit in his last 14 at-bats, so avoidance is best. | | |
| Cold | 6/15/2013 10:32:00 PM |
Description: Cleveland 1B/3B Mark Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two strikeouts Saturday against the Nationals. | Insight: Reynolds had not homered in 13 straight games and came in hitting .174 with two homers and 43 strikeouts in 115 at-bats over his last 33 games. | | |

Description: Cleveland 1B/3B Mark Reynolds is hitting .173 with 27 strikeouts over his last 23 games. | Insight: Reynolds batted .291 with 11 homers and 32 RBI over his first 34 games, but his batting average has come back to reality. | | |
| Cold | 6/2/2013 10:06:00 AM |
Description: After hitting just .208 with 34 strikeouts in May and sitting out Saturday, Cleveland slugger Mark Reynolds will face Jeremy Hellickson of the Rays Sunday, who he has had trouble against in the past. | Insight: Reynolds has 13 homers and 41 RBI, but his average is down to .250. He is just 3-for-18 (.167) against Hellickson, so Sunday could be a tough day. | | |
| 6/1/2013 12:45:00 PM |
Description: Cleveland slugger Mark Reynolds is not in Saturday's starting lineup against Tampa Bay. | Insight: After a fast start, Reynolds (.250, 13 HR, 41 RBI) has hit just one home run over the past two weeks. He can probably use the day off. | | |
| 5/28/2013 10:08:00 AM |
Description: Cleveland slugger Mark Reynolds is 0-for-5 with four strikeouts against Cincinnati right-hander Mat Latos. | Insight: After a fast start, Reynolds (.259, 12 HR, 40 RBI) has hit just one home run in the last two weeks (12 games). This is not the matchup to get him started. | | |
| 5/25/2013 10:42:00 AM |
Description: Cleveland slugger Mark Reynolds is 5-for-15 (.333) with a home run against Boston lefty Jon Lester. | Insight: That's almost 100 points above his career batting average. More importantly, he's struck out just two times in 18 plate appearances, meaning he actually gets his bat on the ball. Start him despite his recent struggles. | | |
| Cold | 5/24/2013 9:42:00 AM |
Description: Cleveland slugger Mark Reynolds is 1-for-8 with six strikeouts in his career against Boston right-hander John Lackey. | Insight: After hitting an unsustainable .301 in April, Reynolds has reverted to his old self, batting .216 in May with four homers, 18 RBI and 25 strikeouts in 74 at-bats.

| Cold | 5/21/2013 9:49:00 AM |
Description: Cleveland slugger Mark Reynolds has struggled against Detroit right-hander Max Scherzer, going 0-for-8 with five strikeouts in their matchups. | Insight: Reynolds' average has started to fall as his strikeouts (45 in 42 games) have piled up, but the first baseman still has 12 homers and 37 RBI in 146 at-bats. Facing Scherzer is likely to continue his drive toward another "strikeout title." | | |
| 5/18/2013 8:42:00 PM |
Description: Cleveland corner infielder Mark Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBI Saturday against the Mariners. | Insight: Reynolds' average has started to fall as his strikeouts have piled up, but the first baseman still has 12 homers and 37 RBI in 138 at-bats. | | |

Description: Cleveland 1B Mark Reynolds has struck out in seven of his 12 at-bats versus Detroit right-hander Justin Verlander and has two hits for a .167 batting average. | Insight: Reynolds is off to a great start in Cleveland, batting .291 with 11 HR and 29 RBI, but this is an unfavorable matchup. | | |
| 5/9/2013 9:36:00 PM |
Description: Cleveland 1B Mark Reynolds cracked his AL-leading 11th home run Thursday against the A's. | Insight: Reynolds went 2-for-3 with two RBI and is batting .291. His strikeout rate is still down from last season, but that could change, as he has fanned 11 times over his last eight games. | | |
| 5/1/2013 10:38:00 AM |
Description: Cleveland 1B Mark Reynolds is hitless in six at-bats versus Phillies starter Cliff Lee and struck out on five occasions. | Insight: Reynolds usually hits a bunch of homers and bats around .220, but he'll take a .301 average and eight home runs into May. This matchup, however, is an unfavorable one. | | |
| Hot | 4/30/2013 10:28:00 PM |
Description: Cleveland 1B Mark Reynolds blasted his eighth home run of the season Tuesday night against the Phillies. | Insight: Reynolds usually hits a bunch of homers and bats around .220, but he'll take a .301 average into May. | | |
| Hot | 4/21/2013 9:15:00 AM |
Description: Cleveland 1B Mark Reynolds has six homers and 17 RBIs in 54 at-bats. | Insight: He's also batting .296 and has walked seven times. Of course, he also has struck out 14 times. We know he can hit the longball, but he'll have to keep his average at a respectable level to be a reliable fantasy option. | | |
| Hot | 4/17/2013 9:53:00 AM |
Description: A career .235 hitter, Cleveland first baseman Mark Reynolds improves to .333 with a pair of solo homers when facing Boston starter Alfredo Aceves.
| Insight: Reynolds is off to a hot start this season having already hit five homers and knocked in 13 runs. This is the power guy we remember from 2009-11. | | |
| 4/14/2013 11:19:00 AM |
Description: Cleveland first baseman Mark Reynolds is off to a hot start this season. With that said, fantasy owners might want to give him the day off Sunday against White Sox righthander Jake Peavy. | Insight: Reynolds is just 2-for-17 against Peavy in his career with nine strikeouts. The 29-year-old usually takes an all-or-nothing approach at the plate. Sunday we think it'll mostly be nothing. | | |
| 4/13/2013 9:28:00 PM |
Description: Indians DH/1B Mark Reynolds belted a grand slam Saturday in a win over Chicago. | Insight: Reynolds finished the afternoon with two hits, five RBI and a stolen base. The grand slam was his fifth home run of the season. That's good for third-best in the American League behind Seattle outfielder Mike Morse and Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis (six each). | | |
| 4/8/2013 9:52:00 AM |
Description: Cleveland DH Mark Reynolds is just a career .192 hitter versus Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda, including 10 strikeouts in 26 at-bats. | Insight: Take a snapshot of Reynolds's statistics as you will likely not see him often with a .300 batting average. He's blasted four homers in five games, but is in an unfavorable matchup on Monday. | | |
| 4/7/2013 7:50:00 PM |
Description: Cleveland DH Mark Reynolds went deep twice Sunday in a win over the Rays. | Insight: Reynolds has swatted a homer in three out of his last four games and he's actually done it while carrying a very respectable .300 batting average. Despite his early season success, Reynolds continues to be a liability in fantasy leagues that deduct points for strikeouts (six punchouts in 20 at bats this season). | | |
