  • Drives in three in win
    Steer went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Monday's 11-5 win over Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Steer sparked the Reds' offense with a two-run double in the fourth inning, then singled in a run as part of the team's four-run sixth. Following a 13-game stretch in which he had just three RBI, Steer has knocked in five over the last three games. He leads Cincinnati with 48 RBI, which ranks 20th overall in MLB.

  • Doubles twice, scores three runs
    India batted leadoff and went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Monday's win over Pittsburgh.

    Advice: India, who replaced the injured TJ Friedl (hamstring) atop Cincinnati's batting order, picked up a hit and scored a run in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. It was his third straight multi-hit game, boosting his season OPS from .696 to .732 in the process. He's gone 11-for-23 (.478) with five extra-base hits over his last six games. India is now slashing .258/.363/.369 with 16 extra-base this and 33 runs scored through 71 games. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:45 pm
     
  • Spencer Steer tallies two hits, three RBI in blowout
    Spencer Steer went 2-for-4 with three RBI on Monday in the Reds’ lopsided win over the Pirates.

    Advice: It’s pretty remarkable that the Reds finished with 11 runs in this one considering they put three straight zeroes on the scoreboard to open the contest before Steer finally got Cincinnati on the board with a two-run double in the fourth inning. The versatile 26-year-old has five homers and one steal over his last 30 games and is up to nine homers and 12 thefts overall this season through 76 contests. Rotoworld Monday, 7:19 pm

  • Taking seat Monday
    Ortiz is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Ortiz had started each of the previous 10 contests but will begin this one on the bench. Andruw Monasterio will cover third base while Ortiz gets some rest. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:17 pm

  • Absent from lineup
    Rosario (face) is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Mariners.

    Advice: The Mariners are starting right-hander Bryan Woo, so Rosario might not have been in the lineup regardless, but he's now on the bench for a second straight day after being struck on the face by a pitch in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates. He's considered day-to-day, but it's not clear whether Rosario will be available Monday. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:01 pm

  • Mariners activate Jorge Polanco from IL
    Mariners activated Jorge Polanco (hamstring) from the 10-day IL.

    Advice: Polanco has not been off to a good start in 2024, hitting just .195/.293/.302 this season. He will seemingly replace Ryan Bliss at second base even though Bliss is hitting .295/.354/.477 in 18 games in June with one home run and four RBI. Perhaps Polanco won’t have a long leash, but it seems like he’ll be back in the starting lineup this week. Tyler Locklear was sent to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Held out again Monday
    Lowe (toe) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Lowe suffered a fractured right pinky toe when he was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates. While the plan is for him to attempt to play through the injury, Lowe has now missed two straight starts. Richie Palacios will again handle second base while Lowe stays off his feet.

  • Reinstated from injured list
    The Mariners activated Polanco (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Polanco was sidelined for just under a month with a right hamstring strain. He went 6-for-20 in six games between High-A Everett and Triple-A Tacoma during his rehab assignment, slugging three home runs over his final two contests. Polanco has slashed a disappointing .195/.293/.302 across 181 plate appearances for Seattle this season. He'll resume his role as the club's everyday second baseman.

  • Notches fifth steal
    Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Padres.

    Advice: Ortiz logged his second multi-hit effort in a row after going 11 contests without one. The infielder has maintained a strong .278/.383/.449 slash line with six home runs, five steals, 27 RBI, 31 runs scored, 13 doubles and two triples over 244 plate appearances this season. While the overall numbers are good, he has just three extra-base hits across 20 games in June. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:41 pm
