  • Senzel has two hits, two RBI Monday
    Nick Senzel went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI against the Braves on Monday.

    Advice: Senzel hit a two-run double in the first inning to extend the Nationals lead to 4-0. He’s hitting just .221 and striking out a decent amount with a 24 percent strikeout percentage. Senzel is hitting for power, though, with a .183 ISO and his 111 wRC+ would be a career-high. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:01 pm

  • Could return this week
    Reds manager David Bell said Monday that Friedl (thumb) could return as soon as late this week or early next week, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Just six games into his return from a fractured right wrist, Friedl suffered a broken left thumb as a result of a hit-by-pitch. Fortunately for Friedl and the Reds, it doesn't sound like he will have to miss nearly as much action this time around. Bell has already said he thinks Friedl could bypass a rehab assignment.

  • May not need rehab
    Friedl (thumb) has started hitting off a tee and may not require a rehab assignment, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Apparently, Friedl is progressing at such a rate that manager David Bell feels he can avoid any detours and jump back into the majors. The outfielder, who missed the first six weeks of the season with a wrist injury, made just 24 plate appearances before suffering a fractured left thumb. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:37 am

  • Returns with two hits, stolen base
    Fraley went 2-for-4 with two singles and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers. He was picked off and caught stealing on another attempt.

    Advice: After missing three starts due to a hand injury, Fraley was back in the cleanup spot against right-hander Walker Buehler. Fraley stole a base right away after his single in the first inning, his eighth steal of the campaign, which puts him on pace to surpass 20 stolen bases for a second consecutive season. The power has been severely lacking, however, as he still sits with just one home run and his SLG is down nearly 80 points from a year ago. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:03 am

  • Back in lineup
    Fraley (hand) is starting in right field Saturday versus the Dodgers.

    Advice: Fraley has been out of the Reds' lineup for the past three games after suffering a bruised hand during Tuesday's contest, though he was used as a pinch runner Thursday. He appears to have fully recovered ahead of Saturday's game and will now look to get hot at the plate after beginning the year with a .692 OPS -- his worst mark since joining the Reds in 2022.

  • Sitting down Saturday
    Pages isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Pages' single Friday broke an 0-for-12 skid at the plate, though he is still slashing just .200/.235/.325 across 85 plate appearances since the beginning of May. He'll get a day to regroup Saturday while Chris Taylor makes his first start of the year in center field, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:04 pm

  • Andy Pages not in Dodgers lineup on Saturday
    Andy Pages is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: The 23-year-old rookie outfielder has been fighting it at the plate over his last 17 games — hitting a paltry .148/.197/.213 with one homer, four RBI and a 23/4 K/BB ratio over 66 plate appearances. Hopefully a day off to clear his head will help the cause. Chris Taylor will start in his place in center field and will bat ninth for the Dodgers against Hunter Greene and the Reds.

  • Jake Fraley returns to lineup Saturday vs. Dodgers
    Jake Fraley is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Fraley is back in Cincinnati’s lineup for the first time since suffering a right hand contusion earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch. X-rays came back negative for any fractures and he should be ready to roll moving forward. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:54 pm

  • Resting Saturday
    Soler isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday versus the Mets.

    Advice: After going 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's victory, Soler will now get his first day off since returning from the injured list May 17. His absence will move Patrick Bailey into the DH spot, allowing Curt Casali to pick up a start behind the plate while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:40 am
