    • On bench against righty
      Robles is not in the lineup for Thursday's opener versus the Reds.

      Advice: The Nationals will go with Eddie Rosario in center field against right-hander Frankie Montas. It doesn't figure to be a strict platoon, particularly with Rosario's defensive shortcomings in center, but Robles might initially be used mostly versus lefties. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
       
    • Officially lands on IL
      The Reds placed Lodolo on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left calf tenosynovitis.

      Advice: Lodolo's stay on the IL shouldn't be much longer than the 15-day minimum, as he's already slated to pitch two games on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville and will likely make his regular-season debut when eligible in mid-April. The 26-year-old southpaw appeared in two Cactus League games this spring, surrendering one earned run over 4.2 innings while striking out five batters and walking two. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:34 pm

    • Reds put Matt McLain (shoulder) on 10-day IL
      Reds placed 2B/SS Matt McLain on the 10-day injured list following left shoulder surgery.

      Advice: There isn’t a definitive timetable for McLain to return this season after undergoing surgery this week to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. It’s a significant loss for the Reds, and fantasy managers, as the 24-year-old looked like a potential five-category stalwart last year in his first taste of the majors. There should be some clarity on his potential return at some point in the coming weeks, but he’s facing a lengthy absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:27 pm

    • Reds place Nick Lodolo (calf) on 15-day IL
      Reds placed LHP Nick Lodolo on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 25, with left calf tenosynovitis.

      Advice: It’s merely a procedural move as Lodolo is pretty much fully healthy and will make his season debut on April 10, barring something unexpected. The 26-year-old southpaw is expected to make a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Louisville in the coming days. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:21 pm

    • Placed on 10-day IL
      The Reds placed McLain (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

      Advice: McLain underwent surgery on his left shoulder Tuesday and a timetable for his return remains unclear. Although it is still possible he plays this year, fantasy managers shouldn't expect the 24-year-old to return to the field until at least the second half of the season. Jonathan India will likely assume the role as Cincinnati's primary second baseman while McLain is out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:21 pm

    • Expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks
      Brewers manager Pat Murphy said in an interview Wednesday with 97.3 The Game Milwaukee that Mitchell is expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks with a fractured finger on his left hand.

      Advice: Murphy revealed Monday that Mitchell suffered a fracture, and the skipper has now offered specifics on a timetable which will have the outfielder out well into May. Mitchell had been set to start in right field against right-handers, but now those duties will fall to Jackson Chourio, with Sal Frelick covering center field. On a positive note, Murphy said that Mitchell won't need surgery at this time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:54 pm

    • Kodai Senga (shoulder) throwing at Citi Field
      Kodai Senga (shoulder) played catch at Citi Field on Wednesday.

      Advice: It’s not much, but it’s a positive step in the right direction for the 31-year-old hurler. Senga, who will open the season on the injured list with a right shoulder strain, is expected to return to action in mid-to-late May. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:28 am

    • Wraps up tepid spring
      Senzel batted .231 (9-for-39) over 15 Grapefruit League games with a 4:13 BB:K and only two extra-base hits, both doubles.

      Advice: The former Red signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Nationals in December, and Senzel's new team is hoping it has the same success reviving his career that it did with Jeimer Candelario in 2023. Senzel showed little this spring to indicate he's headed for a breakout season though, and while he'll be the Nats' Opening Day starter at third base, he may need to hit the ground running to keep the job with Trey Lipscomb making a big impression in camp and Brady House potentially ready to push for a spot in the majors as well.

    • Plays catch Wednesday
      Senga (shoulder) played light catch at Citi Field on Wednesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Senga began what is expected to be a six-week ramp-up process as he works his way back from a moderate posterior capsule strain in his right shoulder. The timeline suggests an early-to-mid-May return for Senga in a best-case scenario. Senga finished seventh in the National League Cy Young Award voting in his rookie season in 2023, posting a 2.98 ERA and 202:77 K:BB over 166.1 innings covering 29 starts.
