Pirates place OF Bryan Reynolds on 10-day IL with strained right oblique

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 7/11/22

While it was reported Monday that the Pittsburgh Pirates are " unlikely " to trade star outfielder Bryan Reynolds anytime soon, nothing is impossible. Now there appears to be a potential roadblock further decreasing the likelihood of the 27-year-old being on the move.

We have activated OF Jake Marisnick from the 60-day injured list and placed OF Bryan Reynolds on the 10-day injured list.

In addition, we have designated LHP Cam Vieaux for assignment.

Reynolds exited the Pirates' Sunday contest against the Brewers due to right side discomfort. He's slashed a team-leading .261/.343/.465 this season and also leads the club with 15 home runs, 79 hits, 40 runs scored and an OPS of .808.

A first-time All-Star in 2021, Reynolds agreed to a two-year, $13.5 million deal with Pittsburgh in April, avoiding arbitration.
