Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Set to begin rehab assignment
The Reds announced that Encarnacion-Strand (back) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
Shortly after being placed on the injured list April 17 due to lower-back inflammation, Encarnacion-Strand reported to the Reds' spring training facility in Arizona to conduct his rehab program. His back has apparently responded well since he resumed ramping up his baseball activities in recent weeks, and he's now been deemed ready to test himself in a game setting. He'll likely stick around in Arizona for a few games before eventually transferring his rehab assignment to a higher-level affiliate, and a return from the IL by the end of next week could be a possibility if everything goes smoothly. Before landing on the shelf, Encarnacion-Strand had been serving as Cincinnati's primary first baseman but slashed just .158/.183/.298 over 60 plate appearances. With Spencer Steer having since settled in at first base over the past month and having picked up the pace at the plate following a slow start to the season, Encarnacion-Strand may not have an everyday spot in the Cincinnati lineup waiting for him once he returns.

Reds' Matt McLain: Slumping again
McLain went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Pirates.
McLain is 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts over the last four games. On May 13, manager Terry Francona dropped him from second in the order to the lower third, and McLain looked like he was breaking out of a season-opening slump while going 6-for-18, but the pendulum has swung back in the subsequent four contests. Both his strikeout (32.8) and whiff (31.0) percentages have increased relative to his rookie 2023 season. The good news is that McLain makes solid contact when he does hit the ball, with an 11.8 barrel percentage and 47.3 percent hard-hit rate.

Reds' Lyon Richardson: Bound for Triple-A
The Reds optioned Richardson to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
Cincinnati will announce a corresponding roster move Friday, when Hunter Greene (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start the Reds' series opener versus the Cubs. Richardson has allowed just three runs (two earned) over 13.2 innings out of the Reds bullpen this season, although he struck out only seven batters.

Reds' Will Benson: Sits against lefty again
Benson, who was held out of the lineup for a second straight day against a lefty, entered Wednesday's game as a pinch runner and was caught stealing.
Benson has a career .138 average and .451 OPS against southpaws, so holding him out of starting lineups against them is expected. He finished the game in right field. Following Thursday's off day, the Reds return home Friday to face the Cubs and left-hander Matthew Boyd, which means Benson could sit a third straight game.

Reds' Brady Singer: Fights control in Wednesday's loss
Singer (5-3) took the loss Wednesday, giving up two runs on five hits and four walks over five innings as the Reds were downed 3-1 by the Pirates. He struck out three.
Cincinnati's hitters only managed four hits on the afternoon, giving Singer no margin for error, but the right-hander didn't help himself by throwing just 57 of 102 pitches for strikes. The four free passes were a season high, but he's issued multiple walks in four of his last five starts, posting a 6.29 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 14:13 K:BB over 24.1 innings during that stretch. Singer will try to get back on track in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week against Kansas City -- the team he spent the first five seasons of his career with before being traded for Jonathan India in November.

Reds' Sam Moll: Activated, sent to Triple-A
The Reds reinstated Moll (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
With Moll's 30-day rehab window coming to a close, the Reds were content with the members of their nine-man bullpen and opted to keep the lefty at Triple-A rather than opening a spot for him on the 26-man active roster. Moll should still rank near the top of the list for a call-up if the Reds require another relief arm at any point. The southpaw had posted a 6.52 ERA and 1.97 WHIP over 9.2 innings during his rehab assignment with Louisville, but he delivered scoreless appearances in four of his last five outings.

Reds' Chase Petty: Returning to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Petty to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
After Cincinnati chose to bypass Petty for a start last Saturday against the Guardians and instead opted for a bullpen day when the fifth spot in the rotation came up, the writing was on the wall for the 22-year-old righty to head back to the minors. He's been roughed up in both of his two starts for the Reds this season, covering 5.1 innings while coughing up 13 earned runs on 13 hits and eight walks.

Reds' Ian Gibaut: Comes off IL
The Reds reinstated Gibaut (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Gibaut will be back in the Cincinnati bullpen after he had missed nearly a month while working his way back from a right shoulder impingement. The right-hander is likely to operate in a middle-relief role after he logged a 5.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB in 11.2 innings with the Reds prior to landing on the shelf.

Reds' Nick Martinez: Fifth straight quality start
Martinez (2-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings as the Reds fell 1-0 to the Pirates. He struck out three.
The veteran right-hander delivered his fifth straight quality start on 91 pitches (51 strikes), but Cincinnati hitters couldn't solve Bailey Falter and the Pittsburgh bullpen. Martinez has a 1.74 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB through 31 innings over his quality start streak, but just a 2-2 record to show for it as the Reds have scored a total of 11 runs in those games. He'll hope for more offensive support in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Kansas City.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Legs out triple in loss
Friedl went 2-for-4 with a triple in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to the Pirates.
Friedl gave the Reds their best chance at scoring when he took advantage of a carom off the right-field wall and turned a sure double into a triple. Unfortunately for Cincinnati, he was stranded there, as Pittsburgh lefty Bailey Falter induced a groundout, strikeout and pop out to escape. Since returning from a two-game absence due to a wrist injury, Friedl is 6-for-18 with three extra-base hits, three walks, an RBI and three runs scored.

Reds' Ian Gibaut: Expected back Wednesday
Reds manager Terry Francona said Tuesday that Gibaut (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Gibaut has been shelved since late April with a right shoulder impingement but has made four scoreless rehab appearances without any setbacks. He will return to a middle-relief role.

Reds' Will Benson: On bench versus lefty
Benson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.
The 26-year-old has gone 12-for-34 with five homers in 10 games since being called up by Cincinnati on May 9, but he'll sit Tuesday against Pittsburgh lefty Bailey Falter. Benson should continue to see plenty of at-bats while filling the strong side of a platoon in right field with Jake Fraley (calf) sidelined.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Taking seat against lefty
Lux is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.
It's southpaw Bailey Falter on the bump for the Pirates, so the left-handed-hitting Lux will begin the contest on the bench. Austin Hays is in left field and Tyler Stephenson is in the designated hitter spot for the Reds.

Reds' Luke Holman: Sidelined at Single-A
Single-A Daytona placed Holman on its 7-day injured list April 17 due to an unspecified injury.
Before being shut down, the 22-year-old righty breezed through his first two starts of the season, striking out 10 over nine innings while allowing one earned run on two hits and four walks. The Reds haven't offered word on the nature of his injury, nor has a timeline for Holman's return been provided.
