Christian Colón - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

DFA'd by Cincy Colon was designated for assignment by the Reds on Friday.

Impact Colon appeared in 11 games and had a .341 OPS this season, so the Reds opted to remove him from the 40-man roster. The 31-year-old could return to the team's alternate training site if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Back in lineup Colon will start Monday's game against Cleveland, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Colon was scratched from Monday's lineup to make room for Joey Votto (illness), but he'll rejoin the starting nine as the designated hitter after Nick Senzel was scratched with a sprained left ring finger. Colon will bat eighth in Monday's contest.

Scratched from lineup Colon was scratched from the lineup Monday against the Indians.

Impact Colon was initially slated to play first base in the Reds' series opener against Cleveland, but he'll take a seat after Joey Votto (illness) was activated and put in the starting nine. With Votto available once again and Mike Moustakas (forearm) back in the lineup, Colon's playing time should take a significant hit.

Knocks in two runs Colon went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in a win over the Tigers in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader.

Impact Colon gave the Reds some extra cushion with his two-run single in the seventh inning. Prior to Sunday, the 31-year-old had gone hitless in three at-bats this season. At the moment, there's no room for him to get regular playing time in the Cincinnati lineup.

Sitting with forearm injury Moustakas suffered a left forearm injury in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Tigers and isn't starting in Game 2, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Moustakas was hit by a pitch in the sixth inning of Sunday's first game and was removed right after. He'll be replaced at second base in Game 2 of the doubleheader by Christian Colon, who is batting seventh. Whether Moustakas will be available for Monday's game against Cleveland remains to be seen.
