Reds notes: How the outfield looks with Tyler Naquin back from the IL Tyler Naquin made a quick recovery from a quad injury and was back in the Reds lineup on Tuesday.
Albert Almora Jr. - 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.

Matt Reynolds - Replaces banged-up Farmer in lineup Reynolds will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Impact Reynolds will get his third straight start in the middle infield while everyday shortstop Kyle Farmer (hand) misses another game. The Reds haven't suggested that Farmer is a candidate to land on the 10-day injured list, so Reynolds' stint as a lineup regular could soon come to an end. Reynolds was productive in Tuesday's 7-4 loss, going 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored while also reaching base on a hit-by-pitch.

Kyle Farmer - Remains out Tuesday Farmer (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Impact Farmer's hand injury will keep him on the bench for the third game in a row, but the Reds seemingly have optimism he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. According to Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer, manager David Bell said Farmer was re-evaluated Tuesday and received more good news, though the skipper didn't go into any specifics. Matt Reynolds will fill in at shortstop and should operate as the primary option at the position for however long Farmer is sidelined.

Aramis Garcia - Sits after hurting elbow Garcia (elbow) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Garcia made his return to action for Monday's 7-4 loss in the series opener after a four-game absence due to a bruised left middle finger, only to exit early after a Mets player accidentally hit him on the left elbow with a bat. Though X-rays on Garcia's elbow returned negative, manager David Bell said Tuesday that the 29-year-old is still being evaluated as the Reds look to pinpoint a diagnosis for his injury. Michael Papierski will be back behind the plate Tuesday while Garcia goes to the bench.

Mark Kolozsvary - Returns to minors Kolozsvary was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Impact Kolozsvary was brought up Monday with fellow backstop Aramis Garcia slowed by a finger injury, but Garcia -- despite also picking up an elbow injury -- is apparently feeling better, as Kolozsvary will head back to Louisville just one day later.

Joey Votto - Resting Tuesday Votto is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact Manager David Bell said it's a "recovery day" for the 38-year-old Votto, who has gone hitless in four consecutive games. Mike Moustakas fills in at first base while Donovan Solano gets the start at designated hitter.

Chris Okey - DFA'd on Tuesday The Reds designated Okey for assignment Tuesday.
Impact The depth catcher went 2-for-12 with the Reds in June and doesn't figure to draw much interest on waivers, so chances are he'll remain with Triple-A Louisville.

Tony Santillan - Moves to 60-day IL The Reds transferred Santillan (back) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Impact The move guarantees Santillan will return from his back strain no sooner than mid-August, though manager David Bell speculated the reliever might not be activated until September, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Prior to landing on the shelf with al lower-back strain, Santillan struggled to the tune of a 5.49 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in 19.2 innings, but he could still see high-leverage work once healthy.

Max Schrock - Heads to Louisville The Reds optioned Schrock to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Impact Schrock went 4-for-24 with one RBI after returning from the injured list June 17. Big-league injuries will likely bring the versatile Schrock back to Cincinnati sometime before the season ends.

Ian Gibaut - Claimed by CIncinnati The Reds claimed Gibaut off waivers from the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Impact Gibaut finds a new home two days after the Dodgers designated him for assignment. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role out of Cincinnati's bullpen after throwing 1.1 scoreless innings June 27, which was his first and only 2022 big-league appearance to date.

Nick Lodolo - Activated Tuesday The Reds activated Lodolo (back) off the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Mets.
Impact The rookie southpaw made only three April starts before sustaining the back injury and landing on the shelf, striking out 19 batters while turning in a 5.52 ERA and allowing three home runs across 14.2 innings. After recently wrapping up a four-game minor-league rehab assignment in which he topped out at 4.2 innings and 78 pitches, Lodolo should be sufficiently stretched out as he slots back into what is expected to be a six-man rotation for Cincinnati.

Tyler Naquin - Activated off IL Naquin (quadriceps) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will bat cleanup as the right fielder Tuesday against the Mets, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact Naquin slashed .255/.315/.460 before going down May 31 with a left quadriceps strain. He figures to be a near-everyday player in Cincinnati's outfield going forward.

Nick Senzel - Pops second homer Senzel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Mets.
Impact The 27-year-old took Drew Smith deep in the seventh inning, providing the Reds with their last gasp of offense on the night and Senzel with only his second homer in 53 games. He's locked in right now though, batting .432 (16-for-37) over his last 11 games with three steals, six RBI and eight runs, and Cincinnati will continue to give him plenty of playing time as the 2016 first-round pick tries to put together his long-awaited breakout.

Brandon Drury - Mashes 17th homer Drury went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Mets.
Impact The veteran utility player took Taijuan Walker deep in the third inning to tie the score at 3-3, but the Reds' offense didn't do much after that. Drury has established a new career high with 17 homers this season in only 69 games, and his .270/.331/.533 slash line should keep him locked into an everyday role for Cincinnati, barring a trade to a contender before the deadline.

Hunter Greene - Hit hard by Mets Greene (3-10) took the loss Monday as the Reds fell 7-4 to the Mets, coughing up six runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.
Impact The rookie flamethrower has been finding the plate more often lately, but his command lags behind his control and he got taken deep by Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor -- the third time in his last four starts Greene has served up multiple homers. The 22-year-old hasn't walked more than two batters in any of his last seven outings, posting an impressive 42:9 K:BB through 35 innings over that stretch, but that comes with a 6.17 ERA and 1.8 HR/9.

Aramis Garcia - Picks up another injury Garcia was removed from Monday's game against the Mets in the eighth inning after being struck on his left elbow by a swing, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact Garcia's status for Tuesday's game is certainly in jeopardy, as he's dealing with a bruised left middle finger and now a sore elbow. He was sent for X-rays after the game, which fortunately came back negative. Garcia will be considered day-to-day until further notice.
