AUSTIN ROMINE NEWS

Heads to bench Romine will sit Tuesday against the Cubs.

Impact Romine has had a slight edge in playing time over Tuesday's catcher Chuckie Robinson down the stretch, but he hasn't done nearly enough at the plate to have meaningful fantasy value even in very deep formats. In 36 games as a Red this season, he's hit .143/.170/.264.

Reclaims playing time Romine will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Romine will make his third start in four games, despite going 0-for-6 over the weekend to bring his season-long batting average down to .156. The other catcher on the Reds' active roster, Chuckie Robinson, is slashing .107/.107/.196 over 56 plate appearances on the season, which likely explains why Romine is getting the larger share of playing time between the two despite his own lowly production.
