Hunter Renfroe - Scratched with tight hamstring Renfroe was scratched from the lineup Tuesday versus the Mariners due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact Will Benson will move from left field to right field, with TJ Friedl taking over in left and Harrison Bader joining the Reds' lineup in center. Renfroe should be considered day-to-day for now.

Kevin Newman - Beginning rehab assignment Newman (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Louisville.

Impact On the shelf since Aug. 19 because of a left oblique strain, Newman looks poised to return to the Reds' active roster around the end of this week. The 30-year-old infielder was slashing .253/.311/.364 with three homers and eight steals through 74 games for Cincinnati prior to the injury.

Michael Mariot - Designated for assignment Mariot was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.

Impact Mariot made his first major-league appearance in seven years Monday versus the Mariners and allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk over 2.2 innings of relief. Kevin Herget will take his place on the 40-man roster as he returns to the Reds' bullpen ahead of Tuesday night's game against Seattle.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Herget - Selected to MLB bullpen Cincinnati selected Herget's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Herget has struggled to a 5.73 ERA in 22 innings this season at the major-league level, but the Reds badly need fresh arms in general. The 32-year-old right-hander will likely operate in a low-leverage relief role.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nick Martini - Goes to bench Tuesday Martini is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Hunter Renfroe will enter the lineup in the corner outfield as a replacement for Martini, who had started in all but 11 of the Reds' past 14 games. All three of his absences had come when the Reds faced left-handed pitchers, but the lefty-hitting Martini will sit against right-hander Bryce Miller on Tuesday. Martini's move to the bench comes amid a 4-for-27 slide at the plate over his last nine games.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Stephenson - Not in lineup Tuesday Stephenson is not in the lineup Tuesday versus Seattle.

Impact Stephenson went 5-for-7 with a homer, two doubles and four RBI between Sunday's series finale against the Cubs and Monday's series opener against the Mariners, but he'll grab some rest Tuesday as Luke Maile takes a turn behind the plate for Cincinnati.

Alan Busenitz - Outrighted to Triple-A Busenitz was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, per the MLB's transactions log.

Impact Busenitz was designated for assignment by the Reds on Friday, and after failing to draw interest on the waiver wire, he'll see action with the Bats. The right-hander owns a 4.53 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 41 strikeouts over 43.2 frames this season at Triple-A.

Ian Gibaut - Grabs second save Gibaut picked up the save Monday against the Mariners. He allowed one hit while striking out one over one-third of an inning.

Impact Gibaut came on in relief of Buck Farmer with two outs and two runners on in the ninth inning. He'd give up an RBI single to J.P. Crawford before punching out Julio Rodriguez, who represented the tying run, to close out the 6-3 victory. It's the second save of the year for the 29-year-old Gibaut and his first since April 9. He's been solid while working in a setup role in front of Alexis Diaz this season -- Gibaut now sports a 3. 32 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP, 61:24 K:BB and 20 holds across 65 innings.

Lyon Richardson - Sent down to minors Richardson was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Richardson had been slated to start Wednesday versus the Mariners, but the Reds needed his roster spot to add a reliever. It's possible he could still make Wednesday's start, but that would involve him replacing an injured player.

Brett Kennedy - Optioned to Triple-A Kennedy was Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Gordon Wittenmyer reports.

Impact Kennedy had been a candidate to get a start or two this week, but he was needed in relief in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. Unfortunately for him, that means the Reds need to replace him with a fresh arm.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Casey Legumina - Rejoins big club Legumina was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The Reds need a fresh relief arm after their bullpen was overused in Sunday's loss to the Cubs. Legumina holds a 6.17 ERA in 10 relief appearances with the big club this season.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Mariot - Added to roster The Reds selected Mariot's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Mariot could be used as a bulk reliever Monday and/or receive a start later this week as the Reds scramble for arms in the wake of a COVID-19 outbreak. It's the first stint in the majors since 2016 for the 34-year-old Mariot, who holds a 6.93 ERA this year at Louisville.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Taking seat Monday Encarnacion-Strand is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

Impact It's Encarnacion-Strand's first day off since July 28. Nick Martini is starting at first base and Jake Fraley is in the designated hitter spot for the Reds.
