Impact Bledlay was called up by the Reds from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday and made his first major-league start of the season Sunday in left field. He tied things up at 2-2 with a solo homer off Keider Montero in the fourth inning before being replaced by Dane Myers in the sixth. Bledlay should remain in the majors for as long as Eugenio Suarez (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list.

Rhett Lowder - Overcomes slow start Lowder did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Tigers. He allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven across five innings.

Impact Lowder put the Reds on the back foot early after giving up a two-run double to Kerry Carpenter in the first inning. Lowder managed to settle in thereafter, keeping the Tigers off the board over the next four frames before exiting the game with the Reds up 3-2, but he did not come away with the win after Detroit scored six runs over the seventh and eighth innings. Lowder has given up two earned runs or less in four of his first six starts of the season, and he sits at a 3.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 34 innings. He's lined up to start next week on the road against the Pirates.

P.J. Higgins - Sent to Triple-A The Reds optioned Higgins to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact The 32-year-old has been up in the big leagues the past few weeks, but he'll return to Triple-A with Jose Trevino (back) coming off the IL on Sunday. Higgins played in six games while up in the majors and went 2-for-10 with a walk and one RBI.

Rece Hinds - Not in Sunday's lineup Hinds is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Tigers.

Impact Hinds has gone 4-for-28 with 14 strikeouts in his first eight games of the season and finds himself on the bench Sunday for the third time in Cincinnati's past four contests. The 25-year-old may not have much more time to get his bat on track before heading back to the minors. JJ Bleday is picking up a start in the outfield Sunday for the Reds.

Jose Trevino - Back from IL The Reds reinstated Trevino (back) from the 10-day injured list, and he's starting behind the plate and batting eighth Sunday against the Tigers.

Trevino went 1-for-11 with a walk in three games prior to going down with the injury. Now that he's healthy, Trevino should operate as the backup catcher to primary starter Tyler Stephenson.

Nathaniel Lowe - Covers DH against righty Lowe served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Tigers.

Impact Lowe followed Sal Stewart's three-run homer in the first inning with a solo shot, increasing the Reds lead to 4-1. It was the second consecutive game in which Lowe went deep. He should see the bulk of at-bats at DH against right-handers with Eugenio Suarez (oblique) on the 10-day injured list.

T.J. Friedl - Tallies three hits, including homer Friedl went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double against the Tigers in a 9-2 win Saturday.

Impact Friedl capped a big offensive game by the Reds with a solo blast in the eighth inning. His three total hits tied a season-high mark, and this was the first time all season Friedl has logged multiple extra-base hits in a game. In fact, the veteran outfielder went 20 contests at the outset of the campaign without any extra-base knocks on his ledger. He seems to be turning things around since, going 7-for-19 with three doubles, Saturday's homer, four RBI and a stolen base across his past five games.

Sal Stewart - Continues huge season with five RBI Stewart went 3-for-4 with a home run, a walk and five total RBI in a 9-2 victory versus the Tigers on Saturday.

Impact Stewart didn't wait long to make a big impact, mashing a three-run homer off Jack Flaherty in the first inning. The budding star added a two-run single in the sixth to give him five total RBI -- his second-highest mark of the season. Stewart has been one of MLB's (and fantasy's) brightest stars so far this season, slashing .303/.398/.626 through 118 plate appearances. He leads the majors with 29 RBI, is tied for fourth with nine long balls and is tied for ninth with seven stolen bases (on as many attempts) while exhibiting excellent plate discipline with a 17:21 BB:K.

Brady Singer - Navigates 5.1 frames in victory Singer (2-1) earned the win over Detroit on Saturday, allowing two runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 5.1 innings.

Impact Singer's outing didn't start out well, as he gave up a leadoff homer to open the contest. However, he was able to get through 5.1 innings with just one other run on his ledger, which also came via a solo homer. Beyond those two long balls, the other six hits Singer allowed were all singles, and he minimized additional damage by not walking any batters. The right-hander fell short of notching a third straight quality start, but he seems to be turning things around after posting a 7.71 ERA through his first three starts of the campaign.
