Matt McLain (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers.

McLain takes a seat for the third consecutive game due to lingering left shoulder soreness. It seems unlikely that he’ll require a trip to the injured list with less than two weeks left in the season, but the Reds aren’t going to rush him back too quickly and risk a setback. It’ll be Juan Brito drawing another opportunity at the keystone in his absence.
