Mark Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a walk-off fielder's choice in Saturday's win over the Mariners.
Reynolds drove in three runs on the day. The fielder's choice came with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, as catcher Jesus Montero was unable to keep his foot on home plate on a throw from shortstop Brendan Ryan. Reynolds has been one of the AL's most productive hitters thus far, batting .268/.354/.580 through 40 games. He's tied with the Yankees' Robinson Cano for the American League lead with 12 homers.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Indians manager Terry Francona said Mark Reynolds "will get the majority of the time at third" base following the demotion of Lonnie Chisenhall.

Reynolds is making his third straight start at the position Tuesday since Chisenhall's demotion. He offers below average defense at the hot corner, but with the way he's swinging the bat, the Indians don't really care. Having Reynolds at third should ultimately mostly help Ryan Raburn and Jason Giambi get more playing time. Mike Aviles will also see some starts at the hot corner

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Mark Reynolds slugged his 11th home run of the season in the Indians' win over the A's on Thursday.

It was a two-run blast to center field that put the Tribe up 9-0. Reynolds has been a fantasy steal so far in 2013, boasting a 1.013 OPS and 29 RBI through 31 games played. He is on pace for 56 home runs and 147 RBI.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Mark Reynolds made his fifth start and appearance at third base in Tuesday's game against the A's.

This gives Reynolds extra eligibility, as well as extra value, in many leagues. He's the Indians' primary DH, but it looks like he'll keep playing third base against lefties with Lonnie Chisenhall falling into a platoon role.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Mark Reynolds went 2-for-4 with four RBI in the Indians' 19-6 rout of the Astros on Saturday night.

Reynolds contributed a three-run homer to the Indians' eight-run first inning and an RBI single to the Indians' six-run second inning. The 29-year-old slugger is off to an excellent start in 2013, boasting a .296/.371/.704 batting line, six homers and 17 RBI in 15 games. He also has one stolen base.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Mark Reynolds finished 2-for-4 with a homer and five RBI in Saturday's 9-4 win over the White Sox.

Reynolds slapped an RBI single to left-center field in the third inning and a grand slam home run in the fifth. The 29-year-old slugger has a weak .257 batting average and .289 on-base percentage, but his five dingers and 13 RBI in nine games have made him a fantasy asset.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Mark Reynolds hit a game-winning home run in the top of the 11th inning as the Indians beat the Blue Jays 3-2 on Wednesday night in Toronto.

Reynolds will serve primarily as the Indians' DH this season, so they'll be expecting more of those kinds of shots from the 29-year-old. He's all power at this point in his career, and the batting average has struggled mightily as a result. You have to know what you're getting into when you put him on your fantasy roster.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Mark Reynolds blasted a mammoth home run off David Hernandez in a losing effort against the Diamondbacks on Friday.

While there was no measurement on the towering drive to center field, those who witnessed it were amazed by the distance. It was the third homer on the spring for Reynolds, who's hitting .350/.422/.700 with nine RBI this spring. Hitting in the middle of the Indians lineup, he has the ability to rack up large RBI totals and could return to fantasy prominence.

Mark Reynolds (back) returned to the Indians' lineup Wednesday.

Reynolds hasn't played in a week due to back soreness, but it was never a major concern. He has plenty of time to get ready for the season.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Mark Reynolds hasn't played since March 6 and has been ruled out until later this week due to a sore back.

It doesn't seem to be a major concern at this point, but it's late enough that a setback could threaten his availability for Opening Day. Reynolds is slated to be the Tribe's designated hitter this season.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Indians signed 1B Mark Reynolds to a one-year, $6 million contract.

The deal includes $1.5 million in possible incentives. Reynolds batted .221/.335/.429 with 23 homers in 135 games last season for the Orioles and is expected to serve as the Indians' starting first baseman in 2013. Progressive Field is one of the toughest ballparks in the majors for right-handed power, so we're not optimistic about a huge rebound.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Indians have signed Mark Reynolds to a one-year, $6 million contract.

The deal includes an additional $1.5 million available through incentives. According to Heyman, the Indians plan to go into spring training with Lonnie Chisenhall at third base, so this likely rules them out for free agent Kevin Youkilis. Reynolds, 29, hit .221/.335/.429 with 23 homers and 69 RBI in 135 games last year for the Orioles. He'll open the 2013 season as Cleveland's everyday first baseman.

Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal lists Mark Reynolds as an option for the Indians at first base if Kevin Youkilis decides to sign with the Yankees.

Reynolds' agent has also met with the Yankees, but the Indians would probably have an edge for him because he prefers to play first base. The 29-year-old hit .221/.335/.429 with 23 homers and 69 RBI in 135 games this past season for the Orioles.

The Yankees met Wednesday with the agent for Mark Reynolds, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

Reynolds has also drawn recent interest from the Indians, Cubs, Marlins and Rays. The 29-year-old hit .221/.335/.429 with 23 homers and 69 RBI in 135 games this summer for Baltimore while earning $7.5 million.
