12 Mark Reynolds, 3B

Indians infielder Mark Reynolds has a .234 average and 14 home runs over 235 at-bats this season. But his splits show a different player manning third base than the one slotted at first or DH. 

Across 117 at-bats as the team's third baseman, Reynolds has hit .171 with five home runs and a .553 OPS. But  in 71 at-bats as a first baseman, Reynolds has hit .310 with five home runs and a .948 OPS. And in 46 at-bats as DH, Reynolds has hit .261 with a .939 OPS and four home runs. 

With Lonnie Chisenhall being recalled Tuesday, Reynolds will move back to first base and DH duty. This could bring with it an uptick in his offensive output and give his 55 percent starting percentage a decent boost. 

Indians infielder/DH Mark Reynolds started playing third base regularly May 14, which coincided with the demotion of Lonnie Chisenhall. Up to that point, Reynolds had made just five appearances at third, regularly playing first base and serving as the team's DH.

Since May 14, Reynolds has hit .176 with two home runs and a .495 OPS in 25 games. He's struck out 34 times in 91 at-bats. Before Chisenhall's demotion, Reynolds was hitting .279 with 11 home runs and a .966 OPS. 

This may just be a case of Reynolds hitting a rough patch -- a natural regression for a player with a .235 career batting average. But Reynolds isn't the strongest of third base defenders -- he has five errors in 30 games there this year -- and has displayed better career numbers at first (.253 average/.858 OPS) than at third (.231 average/.792 OPS). If Chisenhall can fight his way back to the majors and kick Reynolds off the hot corner, there's a case to be made for a turnaround in his stats.
