The rise of Alex Reyes continues.
It became increasingly clear during spring training that Alex Reyes would play a prominent role in the St. Louis Cardinals bullpen.
Reyes entered the season unsure if he would be in the rotation or bullpen, but quickly realized he would be a reliever. Then president of baseball operations John Mozeliak said he was primed for a 100+ inning season in a multi-inning relief role.
