Sits in second straight game Almora is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Almora finds himself on the bench versus a right-handed pitcher (Carlos Carrasco) for the second game in a row. The righty-hitting Almora looks as though he'll settle in as a fourth outfielder for the Reds behind Nick Senzel, Jake Fraley and Aristides Aquino, with most of Almora's starting opportunities likely to come against left-handed pitching moving forward.

Starting streak comes to end Almora is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Almora will take a seat after going 5-for-19 with three doubles, four walks, a stolen base, three RBI and three runs while starting each of the Reds' first six games of August. Though the righty-hitting Almora should be a fixture in the lineup against left-handed pitching, it's less certain if he'll be able to play regularly against right-handers over the final two months of the season. Jake Fraley and Aristides Aquino will man the two corner-outfield spots Monday against Mets righty Chris Bassitt.

Gets sixth straight start Almora will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Almora will stick in the lineup for the sixth game in a row after he went 5-for-17 with three doubles, two walks, a stolen base, three runs and three RBI over the previous five contests. He's largely benefited from the Reds encountering a heavy stretch of left-handed pitching, but Almora could lose time against right-handed pitching to either Jake Fraley or Aristides Aquino moving forward. Almora will get the nod over Aquino against righty Corbin Burnes on Sunday, however.

Propels offense in return Almora went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run, two RBI and a stolen base in a 3-1 win over Miami on Monday.

Impact Almora was out for three weeks while on the COVID-19-related IL, but he showed no rust in his return to big-league action. The outfielder collected three of the Reds' eight hits in the contest, including both of the team's extra-base knocks. Almora may not be an everyday player moving forward, but he'll see plenty of playing time if he continues to produce as he did Monday.

Activated from injured list Almora (illness) was activated from the COVID-19-related injured list Monday.

Impact Almora missed three weeks of action after being placed on the IL, but he completed a rehab assignment and is ready to rejoin the big club. He will jump right back into action Monday in Miami, starting in right field while occupying the eighth spot in Cincinnati's batting order.

Impact Almora was placed on the COVID-19 injured list July 12 but has been cleared to return to game action in the minors just over two weeks later. It's possible that the 28-year-old reclaims his fourth-outfielder role for the Reds as early as this weekend.

Lands on COVID-19 IL The Reds placed Almora on the COVID-19-related injured list Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Stuart Fairchild was summoned from Triple-A Louisville to replace Almora, who had transitioned into a fourth-outfielder role for the Reds following Tyler Naquin's recent return from the injured list. For as long as Almora is unavailable, the righty-hitting Fairchild will likely serve as a short-side platoon mate in the outfield with the lefty-hitting Naquin.

Could move into reserve role Almora is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact With Tyler Naquin (quadriceps) returning from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and batting cleanup, Almora's time as the Reds' primary right fielder could be coming to an end. According to Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer, manager David Bell said that the Reds will take a "day-by-day" approach to center field now that Naquin is back in the mix, which suggests that Almora may be primarily competing with Nick Senzel for playing time rather than Naquin or left fielder Tommy Pham. Almora enjoyed a hot first month with the Reds following his May 4 promotion from Triple-A Louisville, but he's delivered a paltry .158/.179/.184 batting line over his last 10 games.

Takes seat Thursday Almora isn't starting Thursday against the Cubs.

Impact Almora has been an everyday player for the Reds recently but will get a breather after he hit .150 with a double, three RBI, two runs and five strikeouts over the last five games. Max Schrock is taking over in right field and batting eighth.

Pops fifth homer Almora went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact He took Tyler Anderson deep in the fifth inning to tie the game at 4-4, but it was the last gasp for the Reds' offense. Almora has gone yard three times in the last five games to give him five homers on the year, and since returning from the restricted list in late May after not being allowed north of the border for a road trip to Toronto due to his unvaccinated status, the 28-year-old has locked down a starting spot for Cincinnati by slashing .294/.307/.529 with 11 runs and 21 RBI through 24 contests.

Starting Wednesday after all Almora (hip) will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Almora was initially excluded from the lineup after manager David Bell noted that the 28-year-old was dealing with hip tightness, but the Reds evidently saw enough progress from Almora during his pregame workout to include him in the lineup. Kyle Farmer will instead take a seat in the series finale while Almora picks up his fourth start in five games.

However, manager David Bell said that Almora could be available off the bench Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Nick Senzel (back) is also out, leaving Tommy Pham, TJ Friedl and Aristides Aquino to start from left to right in the outfield.
