2022 Fantasy Outlook
After thriving in a bullpen role in the abbreviated 2020 campaign, the Cardinals announced last spring that Reyes would work as a reliever again with a goal of reaching 100 innings. St. Louis also announced at the time their intention to move Reyes to the starting rotation in 2022. While he didn't quite reach that 100-inning mark - he finished with a career-high 72.1 innings - Reyes opened 2021 as the Cardinals primary closer. The 27-year-old was very successful in the role despite an ugly 16.4% walk rate, converting 22 straight saves while maintaining a sub-2.00 ERA before blowing his first save in late-July. Reyes lost the role a month later, but finished the year with a solid 3.24 ERA, 11.8 K/9 and 29 saves. He was originally expected to push for a rotation spot this season, but he received a stem-cell injection to address a fray labrum in mid-March and won't resume throwing for at least four weeks. He could be in the mix to close once healthy, but with Reyes out it'll be Giovanny Gallegos and Genesis Cabrera who handle those opportunities for the first couple months of 2022. Read Past Outlooks

Shut down from throwing
Reyes (shoulder) experienced renewed soreness when throwing this week and has been shut down, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old resumed throwing in late April after beginning the season on the 60-day injured injured list, but he'll halt his rehab program after the soreness cropped up. Reyes underwent an MRI and is seeking a second opinion, leaving his availability for the rest of the season in question.

Reyes came up as a rookie in 2016 and was tantalizing with his stuff before the injuries set in. First, it was his elbow that cost him the 2017 season, then his labrum gave out four innings into his return. His 2019 was mostly lost due to continued shoulder area issues and a broken hand. All in all, Reyes had thrown just seven innings in Major League Baseball since the end of the 2016 season, so just to see him on the mound in 2020 was nice, even with his flaws. He walked 14 batters in 19.2 innings, but he also struck out 27 and allowed just 14 hits. He still has elite velocity and life to his fastball, which was a surprise given the shoulder issues that have plagued him the past few seasons. The durability issues may leave him in the bullpen going forward, but he could be a dominant closer if he can show more command as he continues to shake off the rust from the injury-plagued seasons past.
