Stuart Fairchild - Swipes bag in win Fairchild entered as a pinch runner, stole a base and scored a run in a 3-2 win over the Cubs in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. He went 0-for-2 as the starting left fiel...

Impact Fairchild was part of Cincinnati's two-run ninth inning, which allowed the Reds to avoid a sweep. He ran for Christian Encarnacion-Strand then stole second base, putting him in position to score the winning run on Noelvi Marte's walkoff single. The steal was the 10th for Fairchild, who recently returned from the concussion list. He'll continue to operate as a depth outfielder.

Jake Fraley - Appears in both games Friday Fraley served as the designated hitter and went 3-for-4 with a run scored in a 3-2 win over the Cubs in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. He went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter...

Impact Fraley was activated off the injured list where he'd been rehabbing a fractured toe that will eventually require surgery. Per usual, he was in the lineup against a right-hander but was on the bench in the opener against a lefty. The Reds have a healthy supply of outfielders, so they can let Fraley operate as a DH only to minimize impact on the toe.

Graham Ashcraft - Battling sore toe Ashcraft was dealing with a sore toe during his start Friday against the Cubs, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ashcraft gave up three runs during Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader and left the game after five innings to get an MRI. More information regarding the severity of his injury will be available once the results come back, but Ashcraft should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Tony Santillan - Outrighted to Louisville Santillan cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Louisville, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Santillan gave up one run over 3.1 innings in three appearances with the Reds, but a 9.26 ERA and 2.12 WHIP in Triple-A was enough to keep other teams from claiming him off waivers. Santillan will almost certainly remain in Louisville to finish the season.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alan Busenitz - Designated for assignment The Reds designated Busenitz for assignment on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact After being optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Aug. 20, Busenitz will lose his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for Tejay Antone's (elbow) return from the 60-day IL. Busenitz gave up two runs in five innings with the Reds this season and holds a 4.53 ERA in the minors.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

TJ Hopkins - Optioned to Triple-A The Reds optioned Hopkins to Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Hopkins will head back to Triple-A after going 3-for-17 with three runs scored and 10 strikeouts since being recalled on Aug. 5. He's had a strong season with Louisville, but a lack of production at the major-league level could prevent Hopkins from returning to the bigs again this season.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tejay Antone - Reinstated from IL The Reds reinstated Antone (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Antone has been out since 2021 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but he'll now return to the Reds' bullpen in time for their playoff push. The 29-year-old righty made 12 rehab appearances with Triple-A Louisville, putting up a 3.00 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 12 innings. He could potentially work his way into high-leverage situations down the line, but Cincinnati will likely limit him to middle relief after being out for so long.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Carson Spiers - Added to active roster The Reds added Spiers to their active roster from Double-A Chattanooga on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Spiers will act as a replacement for Fernando Cruz and Ben Lively, who were both placed on the COVID-19 IL on Friday. Spiers has spent all season in Double-A and holds a 3.69 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 83 innings. He will be making his major-league debut whenever he gets into a game.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fernando Cruz - Lands on COVID-19 IL The Reds placed Cruz on the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Cruz will join fellow pitchers Hunter Greene and Ben Lively on the COVID-19 IL, and he'll be forced to miss at least one week. Carson Spiers was brought up from Double-A Chattanooga as Cruz's replacement.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lyon Richardson - Recalled for Friday start Richardson was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact With Ben Lively -- who was originally scheduled to start Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader -- landing on the COVID-19 IL, Richardson will come up from Louisville to start in Lively's place. The 23-year-old righty has surrendered seven runs in 7.1 innings through two starts in the majors this season.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Lively - Placed on COVID-19 IL The Reds placed Lively on the COVID-19 injured list Friday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lively was originally scheduled to start the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cubs, but he'll now be forced to miss at least one week. Lyon Richardson will come up from Triple-A Louisville and replace Lively as Friday's starter.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Stephenson - Breather in Game 2 Stephenson is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

Impact Stephenson will head to the bench after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in the team's 6-2 loss to Chicago in Friday's matinee. Luke Maile will start behind the plate and bat ninth in the nightcap.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hunter Renfroe - On bench for Game 2 Renfroe is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader with the Cubs.

Impact Renfroe will take a seat after he went 0-for-4 in his debut with Cincinnati in their opener Friday. Will Benson will take over in right field and bat seventh against Chicago.

Joey Votto - No baseball activities yet Votto (shoulder) remains shut down from baseball activities, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact It was reported last week that Votto should be ready to return from his left shoulder soreness by early September, but clearly that's not happening. Expect the Reds to use Christian Encarnacion-Strand at first base and Jake Fraley at designated hitter against righties until Votto is ready.
