TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds was limited to designated hitter duties for the third consecutive game on Wednesday because of right arm discomfort.
Reynolds is dealing with what the team calls triceps soreness, a minor but lingering issue that has prevented him from playing defensively.
“What we’re going with right now is right tricep soreness," said Todd Tomczyk, the Pirates' senior director of sports medicine. “He’s been able to hit, been able to play, and there is little soreness when throwing. So they’re taking, making the necessary steps and learning as much as we can, as fast as we can to see when he can be a full complementary player right now.
