2023 Fantasy Outlook
It was ultimately a disappointing 2022 campaign for Reyes, though he did show some flashes of potential. In 70 games with Cleveland, he registered a .603 OPS with a 37 percent strikeout rate. The Guardians decided they had seen enough, so they designated Reyes for assignment in August. The slugger latched on with the Cubs and got off to a hot start with his new team, posting a 1.007 OPS across his first 10 games. However, by the end of the season, his OPS dipped to .689 over 48 games in Chicago. Overall, it was a significant departure from the .846 OPS he recorded in 2021, and he also saw his home run total fall from 30 to 14. His decline saw him sign just an NRI deal with the Royals. If he does make the squad in Kansas City, it will probably be as a part-time designated hitter and bench bat. He can also handle a bit of corner-outfield work, though most defensive metrics would advise against it. Read Past Outlooks

Reinstated from IL, released
The Nationals reinstated Reyes (undisclosed) from the injured list Friday and released him, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Reyes hadn't played in a game with Triple-A Rochester since early July, and he'll now attempt to latch on with his third organization of the season. The 28-year-old is slashing just .217/.317/.392 across 167 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, but there's a decent chance he gets a minor-league contract from another team.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Reyes has proven to be a reliable power producer, posting two 30-homer seasons by the close of his age-25 season. He's backed that with a 94th percentile mark in barrel rate in two separate campaigns, suggesting he could become one of the more prolific and consistent power hitters in the game for seasons to come. However, to take an additional step forward, he'll have to overcome two particular shortcomings in his profile. First, he has consistently shown a relatively heavy groundball lean, as his 36 percent flyball rate in 2021 represents a career high. In addition, Reyes' strikeout rate ballooned to a 32 percent clip -- the worst mark of his career -- which is enough to call his ability to maintain a solid batting average into question. Overall, Reyes is a valuable fantasy contributor because he has a stable power skillet, just don't expect a huge leap forward until he finds a way to lift the ball more.
