Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran matched his 14 home runs from 2016 in less than half the plate appearances and sports an impressive .307/.380/.556 slash line. It probably wise to expect Reynolds to slow down over the coming months, but he's also sporting a career-low 23.0 strikeout percentage, and Coors Field is fantasy buoy. Additionally, Reynolds has already banked two months of elite production, so there is plenty of room for negative regression before his virtual stock is in jeopardy.

Reynolds went 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI in Sunday's 8-4 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Reynolds continues to produce at an impressive rate, moving into a tie for second in the National League in RBI. After a strong start in the month of April, Reynolds has put together an excellent month of May. In 22 games during the month, Reynolds is slashing .338/.427/.532. His OPS of .965 for the season ranks 12th in the National League. Strikeouts will always be a part of Reynolds' game, but he is striking out a career-best 22.7 percent this season. If he continues that trend, Reynolds will put up big numbers for Colorado.

Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 10-0 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The blast was his team-leading 13th of the season, leaving him one shy of his total from last season, but it was also his first since May 9. Reynolds enjoyed a fast start to 2016 before fading over the summer, hitting .307 in April and May but .234 in June and July, and a similar pattern may be about to repeat itself this year.

Reynolds is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Ben Harris of Phillies.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite his impeccable .319/.396/.575 line on the season, Reynolds will take a seat for the second game in a row with Rockies manager Bud Black looking to get an extra left-handed bat (Gerardo Parra) in the lineup to counter Phillies right-hander Jeremy Hellickson. Reynolds has proven his worth against both right- and left-handed pitching this season, so it's too early to conclude that he's fallen into the small side of a platoon with Parra. If Reynolds struggles in his subsequent starts, however, a platoon role could become more realistic.

Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a walk and 3 RBI in Friday's win over Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
It was another productive day for the veteran, who has now upped his RBI total on the season to 38. The .329/.407/.610 slash line and 1.017 OPS are certainly impressive, and even with a .367 BABIP, it is reasonable to assume that Reynolds should continue to produce while playing at Coors Field.

Reynolds went 1-for-2 with two walks and two RBI during Thursday's win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran is off to a great start to 2017 with 12 home runs, 35 RBI and a .319/.398/.610 slash line. His current .351 BABIP probably has negative regression ahead, and Reynolds could see his playing time decrease now that Ian Desmond is back. David Dahl (ribs) is also inching closer to returning, which could further cut into Reynolds' at-bats. Still, Coors Field is a great fantasy stabilizer, and Reynolds is making a case to stick in the lineup.

Reynolds is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader with the Twins, Jenny Cavnar of Root Sports Rocky Mountain reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite reaching base three times in the first game, Reynolds will head to the bench as Carlos Gonzalez serves as DH and Ian Desmond takes over at first base. Reynolds continues to earn consistent at-bats with his performance at the plate this season.

Reynolds will start at first base and bat fifth in the order Monday against the Cubs, Jenny Cavnar of Root Sports Rocky Mountain reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reynolds was expected to see his playing time dip following the activation of Ian Desmond (hand) from the disabled list a little over a week ago, but the veteran corner infielder's hot bat has made it difficult for manager Bud Black to bench him. Reynolds has gone 8-for-16 with a trio of homers and five runs scored while starting the past four games.

Reynolds is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres, Jenny Cavnar of Root Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
For just the first time all year, Reynolds will head to the bench for two straight games as Ian Desmond takes over at first again. With Desmond back in the mix, it appears Reynolds could be in line to lose a good chunk of his playing time should the Rockies continue to deploy both at first base. We'll give it a few games to see, but it could be time to sell on the veteran slugger.

Reynolds is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reynolds is off to a torrid start with the Rockies, slashing .298/.362/.606 with eight homers and 23 RBI in 26 games, but with Ian Desmond (hand) back from the disabled list, the 33-year-old will be relegated to the bench. Desmond was signed to serve as the Rockies' primary first baseman, but if Reynolds keeps swinging the bat like he is, he shouldn't be in danger of losing much playing time given Desmond's versatility in the field.
