Elly De La Cruz Shares Optimistic Health Update After Reds' 6-4 Win Over Braves De La Cruz spoke to reporters after the game.
MAY 31 • SI.COM
Eugenio Suárez - Homers in win Suarez went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta.
Impact Suarez drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning before launching a solo shot in the seventh. It was his first homer since returning from the injured list May 23, as he entered the contest mired in a 4-for-22 slump over seven games during that span. For the year, the slugger is slashing .224/.300/.371 with four long balls, 15 RBI and 13 runs scored across just 130 plate appearances.

Sam Moll - Earns one-out save Moll earned a one-out save in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts in the ninth inning.
Impact Moll was called on to relieve the struggling Tony Santillan with two men on and two outs in the ninth inning to face lefty Michael Harris. He walked Harris before inducing a game-ending groundout to earn his first save of the season. It was likely just a matchup-driven decision with Santillan reeling, but the 34-year-old Moll has put together a strong campaign, posting a 2.49 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 25.1 innings.
MAY 31 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Lodolo - Posts quality start in win Lodolo (2-1) earned the win against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks with four strikeouts over 6.2 innings.
Impact Lodolo allowed two homers and threw just 61 strikes on 100 pitches, but he managed to limit the overall damage against one of baseball's top lineups. It marked the second straight quality-start win for the southpaw, though he has now surrendered at least one long ball in each of his five outings this season. He'll carry a 5.20 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 22:13 K:BB across 27.2 innings into a road matchup against the Cardinals next weekend.

Elly De La Cruz - Dealing with hamstring issue De La Cruz was removed from Sunday's game against Atlanta due to right hamstring tightness.
Impact The 24-year-old shortstop sustained the injury Sunday during the fifth inning, when he led off the frame with a likely double but was unable to make it past first base. The severity of the issue isn't known yet, so De La Cruz should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.

MAY 31 • Associated Press
Elly De La Cruz - Departs with apparent injury De La Cruz was removed from Sunday's game against Atlanta with an apparent lower-body injury, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact The speedster led off the fifth inning with what should have been a sure-fire double, but he instead pulled up while rounding first base and was replaced by a pinch runner. The specifics of the injury aren't clear, but there could be some clarity soon with De La Cruz likely headed for medical imaging.

Tyler Stephenson - Receiving rest Sunday Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Stephenson will be handed a routine day off after he started behind the plate in each of Cincinnati's last five games. P.J. Higgins will handle catching duties for the Reds in the series finale.
MAY 31 • ROTOWIRE
T.J. Friedl - Sitting after three straight starts Friedl is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Friedl will retreat to the bench after he went 2-for-7 with a walk and a run scored while starting in the past three games. Though he probably hasn't reclaimed a full-time role just yet, Friedl's playing time appears more secure than that of Matt McLain, who is on the bench for the third time in four games while the Reds shift Spencer Steer back to second base and hand Will Benson a start in the outfield.
MAY 31 • ROTOWIRE
Matt McLain - Checking out of starting nine McLain is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Impact After going 0-for-2 with a walk in Saturday's 5-2 loss, the struggling McLain will head back to the bench for the third time in four games. The Reds will go with Spencer Steer at the keystone over McLain, who appears to be fading into more of a part-time role in the Cincinnati infield.

Impact With the MRI results indicating Pagan is healing, the reliever has been cleared to run on an anti-gravity treadmill. Pagan was removed from a game May 5 and placed on the 15-day injured list the next day. He's eligible to return at any point but his original return timeline of four-to-eight weeks is a wide window.

JJ Bleday - Homers in second straight game Bleday went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday.
Impact Bleday provided all of the runs the Reds would score with a two-run blast to right field in the second inning. The long ball was his second in as many games and his third across his past five contests. The veteran outfielder has gone 8-for-20 during that span, bringing his season slash line up to an impressive .295/.395/.629. He's added nine homers, 24 RBI and one stolen base in just 29 games.
