• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Starts at first base

  Rotowire Apr 22, 2024

  Reyes started at first base and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates. Reyes slotted in for the injured Triston Casas (rib), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. The Red Sox are concerned that the injury could be a significant one, and Boston manager Alex Cora will use Monday's off day to decide how the team plans to proceed without Casas, according to Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe. Reyes, Rob Refsnyder and Bobby Dalbec, who started at third base Sunday for Rafael Devers (knee), are the primary candidates to play first base.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Starts at third base

  Rotowire Apr 19, 2024

  Reyes started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Cleveland. Reyes filled in for the injured Rafael Devers (knee) and committed a costly error that allowed one of three unearned runs to score. Reyes also couldn't get a ball out of his glove quick enough to start a 5-4-3 double, which allowed another run to score. Per Ian Browne of MLB.com, the Red Sox are hoping to avoid having to put Devers on the injured list, which suggests a fill-in will be needed for more than just Thursday's contest. Reyes and Bobby Dalbec are the primary candidates to play third base should Devers need an stint on the IL.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Fills in at second base

  Rotowire Apr 14, 2024

  Reyes replaced an injured Enmanuel Valdez (thumb) at second base and went 1-for-1 in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Angels. Reyes is the likely fill-in at second base if Valdez's injury requires downtime. A post-game evaluation indicated Valdez's injury is just a bruised thumb, but he could need some time to heal.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Starts at shortstop

  Rotowire Apr 7, 2024

  Reyes started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Angels. Reyes got the start after the Red Sox placed primary shortstop Trevor Story on the 10-day injured list with a dislocated left shoulder. The fill-in shortstop had an issue during the Angels' two-run sixth-inning; Reyes was unable to get the ball out of his glove in time to get a force-out at second base that would have ended the inning. It's not clear if he's the long-term solution to replace Story, who could have a lengthy absence, as the Red Sox summoned David Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Replacement at short

  Rotowire Apr 6, 2024

  Reyes entered Friday's game in the fourth inning after Trevor Story left with a shoulder injury, finishing 0-for-2 with a walk. Story's injury appears to be a significant one, and an MRI on Saturday should confirm the severity. It's unclear if Reyes, a journeyman infielder with his fourth team in six years, will be the solution at short if Story lands on the injured list. The Red Sox have options, including moving Ceddanne Rafaela from center to short, where he has 71 starts while in the minors. Vaughn Grissom (groin), who is on the injured list, has played shortstop in the the past. David Hamilton, who made his major-league debut in 2023, could be an option.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Fills in at third base

  Rotowire Mar 31, 2024

  Reyes started at third base and went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to Seattle. Reyes started in place of Rafael Devers (shoulder), who is expected to return Sunday after missing two games. Bobby Dalbec filled in at the hot corner Friday. Reyes has appeared in all three games thus far and is the likely starter at second base when a left-hander is on the mound. That should be the case until Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) is ready to return.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Appears in first two games

  Rotowire Mar 30, 2024

  Reyes went 1-for-2 as a pinch hitter and second baseman in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Mariners. Reyes pinch hit for second baseman Enmanuel Valdez against a left-hander in the seventh inning and ripped a sinker down and away to right field for a single. It marked the second straight game Reyes pinch hit for Valdez against a lefty and went on to finish the game at second. While Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) is sidelined, it looks like a strict platoon at second, where Valdez starts against righties and Reyes against lefties. The Red Sox face righty Logan Gilbert on Saturday.

Reyes had been slated to return Monday before that game got rained out. He will not be activated for the makeup game Tuesday afternoon, but it appears he'll be added prior to the nightcap. Reyes has been out since late August with left elbow inflammation and could see some starts at second base down the stretch.

  Rotowire Sep 10, 2023

  Reyes (elbow) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, MLB.com reports. Reyes kicked off a rehab assignment Saturday and will remain with Triple-A Worcester through the weekend. He's been an unlikely factor for the Red Sox in 2023, posting a .303 average in 51 games, but as Boston's playoff hopes dim, the 30-year-old is not expected to have a large role to finish out the season.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Will backup at first base

  Rotowire Aug 17, 2023

  Boston manager Alex Cora said Reyes will serve as the backup first baseman while Justin Turner plays through a bone bruise on his left heel, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Turner is limited to designated hitter duty for the time being, so Cora said Reyes will play first base whenever Triston Casas sits. Reyes has never played first base in the majors, but he's had a reliable bat of late, which the manager could use if needed. Reyes, who popped a two-run home run Wednesday, is batting .394 (13-for-33) with two home runs, three doubles, six RBI and seven runs scored over the last nine games.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Retains starting role in infield

  Rotowire Aug 16, 2023

  Reyes will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Nationals. Though he lost hold of regular playing time at shortstop when Trevor Story returned from the 60-day injured list Aug. 8, Reyes has been able to retain an everyday role at the other middle-infield spot ahead of Luis Urias. Reyes will stick in the lineup for a 10th consecutive game Wednesday after going 12-for-32 (.375 average) with one home run, three doubles, one stolen base, four RBI and six runs over the previous nine contests.

  Reyes is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff against the Royals on Thursday. Reyes is receiving his second straight start at short while Trevor Story serves as the designated hitter.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Not yet activated

  Rotowire Jul 16, 2023

  Reyes (abdomen) is expected to play shortstop in a rehab game Sunday for Double-A Portland, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports. Reyes has appeared in six games during a rehab assignment and is 8-for-21 with three home runs and seven RBI for Portland. He's seen time at second base, designated and center field prior to his expected start at shortstop Sunday. Following Sunday's game, Boston manager Alex Cora said the organization will reassess the roster. Reyes is out of minor-league options and can't be assigned directly to Triple-A or Double-A, so if the Red Sox want to add him to the major-league roster, Cora must decide which player would be cut. The main candidates for a demotion would appear to be fellow infielders Christian Arroyo and Enrique Hernandez.

• Red Sox's Pablo Reyes: Out through break

  Rotowire Jul 8, 2023

  Reyes (abdomen) won't be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to the All-Star break, MLB.com reports. Reyes began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday and there had been speculation he could be activated by the end of the week, but that won't come to fruition. He's hit safely in all three games with Worcester, going 5-for-11 with two home runs and four RBI. Now that Yu Chang recently returned from the 60-day IL and Trevor Story (elbow) is nearing a rehab assignment, so Reyes may be limited to a utility role once he's deemed ready to rejoin the Red Sox.
