Reynolds is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Nationals.
It's the first day off this season for Reynolds, who boasts a .288/.400/.470 batting line with three home runs in his first 18 games this season. Billy Cook will handle left field and bat ninth for the Pirates in Thursday's series finale.

Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Drives in four in three hit game
Rotowire
Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a triple, a hit-by-pitch, a run scored and four RBI in Monday's 16-5 win over the Nationals.
In his second three-hit performance of the season, Reynolds helped spark Pittsburgh's massive sixth inning, ripping a bases-clearing triple off Jackson Rutledge -- his first of the season -- to jumpstart the club's 10-run frame. The 31-year-old has now hit safely in 11 of his first 16 games, including five multi-hit efforts. Through 72 plate appearances, Reynolds is slashing .290/.375/.484 with three home runs, 12 RBI, 12 runs and one stolen base.

Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Supplies only offense in win
Rotowire
Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Cubs.
The Pirates were no-hit by Shota Imanaga through six innings, but their bats woke up as soon as the southpaw left the mound. Ryan O'Hearn led off the seventh with a single before Reynolds jumped on a first-pitch curveball from Caleb Thielbar and launched it into the left-field bleachers. It was Reynolds' third homer of the season in 13 games to go along with a .245/.345/.449 slash line, seven RBI and 11 runs.

Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Homers in second straight
Rotowire
Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Reds.
Reynolds began the season 3-for-18 with eight strikeouts across four starts, but he's quickly turned things around. He took Emilio Pagan yard in the ninth inning to provide some insurance runs for the Pirates, his second homer in as many games. Reynolds has started all six games and batted third in each contest.
Reynolds will be Pittsburgh's primary left fielder in 2026, Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com reports.
Reynold has played primarily in left or center field for most of his career, though he was moved to right field in 2025 after his defense declined. He experienced better defensive metrics after starting to utilize a tennis hop prior to pitches, which helped him improve his reaction time. Reynolds was a positive defender in left field as recently as 2023, so it's possible that he rebounds in 2026.
