  • Sean Murphy (oblique) nearing rehab assignment
    Sean Murphy (oblique) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week.

    Advice: It’s been a very slow and methodical progression for Murphy, who was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain at the end of March. He should only need a couple of games in the minor leagues before he’s ready to return to the Braves’ lineup. If all goes well, it’s possible that he could be ready to return next weekend.

  • Jonathan India scratched due to migraine
    Jonathan India was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup due to a migraine.

    Advice: The Reds are sticking with their plan to give Elly De La Cruz the day off, so this means Spencer Steer, who was due to play first, will make his first start at second base this year. Jacob Hurtubise entered the lineup as the left fielder. Rotoworld Today, 12:25 pm
     
  • Scratched from lineup
    India was a late scratch from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona due to a migraine, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Spencer Steer will shift to second base to cover for India, while Jacob Hurtubise will enter the lineup in left field. Consider India day-to-day for the time being. Rotowire.com Today, 12:14 pm
     
  • Option to start Thursday
    Martinez is an option to start Thursday's game against the Dodgers in place of Nick Lodolo (groin), Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Martinez would be pitching on three days' rest after he had a 1.1-inning relief appearance on May 12. He remains relatively stretched out, though, having made four starts for the Reds this season, with the last one coming on April 30. Martinez wouldn't have a full workload at his disposal Thursday, but he looks to be the favorite to take the ball for the Reds that day. Rotowire.com Today, 10:33 am
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: He'll get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon game after starting behind the plate both of the past two days while going 4-for-9 with two doubles and three runs. Luke Maile will get the starting nod behind the plate in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
     
  • Struggling in Hayes' absence
    Triolo went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Tuesday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Even with Nick Gonzales in the majors, Triolo has continued to serve as an everyday player for the Pirates while playing third base in the absence of Ke'Bryan Hayes (back). Triolo's playing time is likely to be in jeopardy once Hayes can return, however, as he has only two hits across his last 27 at-bats and has just a .521 OPS in 157 plate appearances for the season.

  • On base four times in loss
    Profar went 1-for-1 with three walks and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies.

    Advice: Profar notched a base hit in the fourth and worked walks in his other three plate appearances. It's the first time since June 29, 2022 that he's walked three times in one game. Profar has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball thus far and is now 10th in the majors with a .324 batting average and fourth with a .416 OBP after Tuesday night.

  • Bounces back with win
    Greene (2-2) got the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings.

    Advice: Greene's only blunder of an inning came in the third after allowing the first two guys on before they came around to score on a base knock from Blaze Alexander. He otherwise kept Arizona quiet and put together an excellent rebound outing after some mixed results against them last week. Greene has walked at least a batter in every start this season, but his one free pass was significantly better than the nine he'd given up over his last two starts. The 24-year-old flamethrower now owns a 3.27 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 58:22 K:BB in 52.1 innings. He lines up to complete a two-start week against the Dodgers this weekend.

  • Hunter Greene goes seven to win in Arizona
    Hunter Greene lasted seven innings and allowed two runs in the Reds’ 6-2 defeat of the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Advice: Greene walked nine in his previous two starts, but he issued just one free pass tonight. He also went without giving up a homer, though Corbin Carroll’s shot to right to lead off the bottom of the first would have been a homer had the game been played in Cincinnati, rather than Arizona. Greene improved to 2-2 with a 3.27 ERA. In spite of his success, the Reds are just 2-7 in his starts. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:52 pm
