De La Cruz really filled up the box score in this one, finishing with a homer and multiple steals for the third time in his career. The other occasions were both in 2024. As of the moment, he’s tied for fourth in MLB with 10 homers, ninth with eight steals, tied for fourth with 26 runs scored and tied for ninth with 24 RBI.

Burns generated 22 whiffs on 55 swings while topping out at 100.5 mph tonight. He’s allowed two runs or fewer in five of his six starts this season and is now 3-1 with a 2.65 ERA overall even though the Reds have struggled to support him. He’s due to face the Pirates on Sunday.

Myers’ injury history might make him ill-equipped to be an everyday center fielder for Cincinnati, but he deserves more time at TJ Friedl’s expense. He’s currently sporting a .797 OPS, compared to .528 for Friedl, and he’s the better defender of the two. Nevertheless, he’s started just one game against a right-hander this year, that coming on Apr. 9.

Greene is not expected to be ready to pitch until July, and Charlie Goldsmith of FOX19 in Cincinnati reports that the 26-year-old is about three weeks away from throwing bullpen sessions. Because of his ability to miss bats, Greene is worth holding onto even with the long delay.

Lodolo worked five scoreless innings in his previous rehab start for High-A Dayton on Sunday. The 28-year-old will have a good chance of rejoining the Cincinnati rotation if there are no setbacks before/after that rehab appearance.

In 10 games at Triple-A, Marte is hitting .452/.500/.714 with two home runs, three RBI, six steals, and an 8/4 K/BB ratio. The Reds continue to play him only in the outfield, but with Ke’Bryan Hayes continuing to struggle with the bat, you have to wonder if Marte’s time in Triple-A might be better served getting him more reps at third base again to see if he can be a long-term solution there for the Reds.

After homering three times in the first two games of the series — including a two-run walk-off as the Reds were down to their final out on Saturday — Lowe kept the party going as he smacked a Keider Montero knucklecurve for a 372-foot (98.6 mph EV) solo shot to get the Reds on the board in the second inning. He finished the afternoon 1-for-4 and is now hitting a respectable .256/.333/.605 with four homers and 10 RBI on the season.

Lowder scattered six hits on the afternoon while allowing one base on balls. All of the damage done against him came in the opening inning as Kerry Carpenter smacked a two-run double with the bases loaded. The 25-year-old righty settled in nicely afterwards though and kept the Tigers off the board for the rest of his day. Lowder got nine whiffs on 94 pitches on the day, posting a solid CSW of 30 percent. He’ll carry a 3.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 25/10 K/BB ratio (34 innings) into Saturday’s divisional showdown against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

With Jose Trevino (back) returning from the injured list on Sunday, Higgins will return back to his regular role at Triple-A Louisville. Higgins, 32, hit .200 (2-for-10) with one RBI and a 4/1 K/BB ratio in 12 plate appearances during his stay with the big league club.

The 33-year-old backstop had been shelved since April 8 due to a thoracic spine strain. He’ll resume his role as the backup behind Tyler Stephenson. P.J. Higgins was optioned back to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move on Sunday.

De La Cruz also drew a pair of walks and scored two total runs in the contest. His two-run shot in the second gave the Reds a 6-1 lead and essentially put Jack Flaherty to bed; although he did finish that inning. He’s now driven in 20 runs while improving his slash to .275/.352/.569.

Stewart and the Reds’ offense was able to hit three homers off Jack Flaherty and the Detroit bullpen. The 22-year-old rookie has been outstanding, and swatted his ninth homer of the season off Flaherty with a couple of runners on. Stewart singled twice after that, and he’s now hitting .303 with an OPS of 1.025 and 29 runs driven in over the first month of the season. Hard to ask for much more than that, especially for a player in his first full season of MLB action.

Singer gave up eight hits, but amazingly both runs were allowed on solo homers. Baseball is weird. The right-hander struck out three while generating a serviceable 13 swings and misses on 94 pitches. It’s far from dominant, but effective enough. Singer will attempt to keep lowering his 4.97 ERA when he faces the Pirates on Friday.

Bleday figures to get some opportunities at DH while veteran Eugenio Suárez is on the shelf with a mild oblique strain. The 28-year-old has little to prove at the Triple-A level where he’s .341/.462/.659 with six homers in 24 games this season. It would be a little unfair to label him a Quad-A player but he’s slashed just .215/.306/.394 with 49 round-trippers in 404 games at the highest level between two different stops since 2022.

It’s officially a mild oblique strain, according to a team statement, which gives Suárez a real shot at returning to Cincinnati’s lineup when first eligible in early May. However, oblique injuries can be tricky and often carry a risk of recurrence if not managed carefully. The 34-year-old power-hitting corner infielder has gotten off to a slow start by his lofty standards, hitting .231/.300/.363 with three homers and 11 RBI through 25 games this season.

Franco returns for his second stint with the Reds after posting a respectable 3.18 ERA across 5 2/3 innings over three appearances earlier this season. The 25-year-old rookie figures to pitch in middle relief.

Nicolas heads back from the minors after allowing seven runs on eight hits with a 7/13 K/BB ratio across 7 1/3 innings over seven appearances. The 27-year-old righty, who came over from the Pirates in a trade back in early March, will attempt to iron out his control issues back at Triple-A.

Phillips technically has been unofficially retired for a couple years but he’s signed a ceremonial one-day contract to retire with Cincinnati where he spent 11 seasons from 2006-2016. He last appeared in the big leagues for the Red Sox back in 2018 before spending a couple years kicking around the independent leagues. The 44-year-old second baseman finishes a nearly two-decade run with a .275/.320/.420 slash line with 211 homers and 209 steals in 1,902 games from 2002-2018.

Initially it was reported that the 34-year-old slugger was being held out of the lineup on Friday due to mid back pain, but it’s actually the dreaded oblique that he’s dealing with. The Reds are hopeful that he’ll only have to miss a couple of weeks’ worth of action. It’s unclear what the corresponding move will be on Saturday, though it could mean the return of Noelvi Marte from Triple-A Louisville.

The Reds entered the ninth inning facing a one-run deficit and were down to their final out against Tigers’ closer Kenley Jansen with no one on base. Spencer Steer kept hope alive with a two-out single before Lowe stepped up and played the role of hero. He crushed an 0-1 sinker for a 396-foot (104.6 mph EV) two-run shot that sent the Reds’ home faithful into a frenzy. He also swatted a solo shot off of Kyle Finnegan in the sixth inning. The 30-year-old finished the night 2-for-5 with three runs scored and three RBI and is now slashing a solid .257/.333/.514 with a pair of homers and eight RBI on the season.

McLain victimized Tigers’ left-hander Framber Valdez for a 421-foot (106.8 mph EV) two-run shot in the fifth inning to get the Reds on the board. Then after a lengthy rain delay, he walloped a 419-foot (106.3 mph EV) two-run shot off of Will Vest that tied the game at 5-5 in the seventh inning. The dynamic 26-year-old also drew a walk in the ballgame, finishing the night 2-for-4. He’s now hitting .213/.339/.330 with two homers, eight RBI and four stolen bases through his first 112 plate appearances on the season.

The 26-year-old southpaw struck out four batters on the night while issuing a pair of walks. He struggled to keep the ball in the yard in this one, serving up solo homers to Riley Greene in the second inning and Javier Baez as part of a three-run uprising in the third. Abbott generated eight swings and misses on 89 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 28 percent. He’ll attempt to put this one behind him and improve upon his disappointing 6.59 ERA and 1.78 WHIP when he takes on the Rockies at home on Thursday afternoon.

It doesn’t sound like anything overly concerning, so the 34-year-old slugger should be considered day-to-day. Ke’Bryan Hayes will man the hot corner and bat ninth for the Reds while Nathaniel Lowe functions as the designated hitter against Framber Valdez and the Tigers on Friday evening in Cincinnati.

The 33-year-old catcher landed on the injured list a couple of weeks ago with an injury that apparently sounded scarier than it actually turned out to be. Trevino will eventually take the backup catcher duties back in Cincinnati, but it might be a few weeks before he’s ready to play in the majors again.

This is now two straight days with a home run for Marte, who is slashing .370/.433/.741 in seven games at Triple-A with two home runs, two steals, and a 7/3 K/BB ratio. We know he struggled at the MLB level to begin the season, but he doesn’t belong in Triple-A.

The left-hander struck out three and walked three while posting just a nine percent swinging strike rate and 22 percent CSW. His cutter was really the only pitch he had working here, throwing it for a strike 70 percent of the time and posting a 20 percent swinging strike rate. He failed to miss bats with many of his other pitches, and the Rays weren’t chasing anything out of the zone. If Nick Lodolo (blister) is finally able to make his return from the injured list, then it’s likely that Williamson will lose his spot in the rotation.

De La Cruz took Rays starter Steven Matz deep in the opening frame before taking position player Ben Williamson deep in the ninth inning to record his first multi-homer performance of the season. The final blast came in garbage time, but it counts all the same for fantasy purposes. He added an RBI single in the seventh inning to extend Cincinnati’s advantage to nine runs at the time. The dynamic 24-year-old fantasy superstar has left the yard eight times in 24 games, while also chipping in six stolen bases.

Stewart continues to find a way to make a fantasy impact, even when he’s not driving the ball into the seats. The 22-year-old sensational rookie smacked a two-run single to cap off a four-run outburst in the sixth inning and also added a sacrifice fly in the next frame. He also picked up his sixth stolen base of the year in this one.
