Bryan Reynolds Reportedly Out 4-6 Weeks With Broken Hamate Bone

Published:

Cory Giger from the Altoona Mirror is reporting that the hand injury to Bryan Reynolds turned out to be a broken hamate in his left hand. According to Giger, he will miss 4-6 weeks.

The 23-year-old outfielder, who was acquired in the Andrew McCutchen deal, was 3-for-13 through his first four games, with two doubles and a triple. The extra-base hits were a nice early sign from Reynolds, who hasn’t shown much power as a pro, though many scouts believed there was more in his bat. Unfortunately for him now, a broken hamate is an injury that saps power for up to a year, so it’s unlikely that we will see much power from him this season.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
