Pirates' Bryan Reynolds Deals with Triceps Soreness

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds is currently experiencing right triceps soreness, which has affected his throwing ability but not his hitting. This injury has led to Reynolds primarily playing as the designated hitter for several games, allowing him to maintain his offensive presence while impacting Andrew McCutchen's playing time. Senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk indicated that Reynolds is expected to remain in the lineup despite this issue. Meanwhile, Giants pitcher Ryan Walker has been dealing with back tightness but is expected to return to action soon after missing a save opportunity. The team remains optimistic about his availability for their upcoming game against the Reds. Both players' injuries reflect the ongoing challenges teams face in managing player health early in the season.
