GAME LOG
Reds place McLain (oblique) on 10-day IL McLain, 23, has been the Reds' best offensive player this season and a lynchpin to the team's success.
AUGUST 28, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Matt McLain - Placed on injured list McLain was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right oblique strain.
Impact It was reported earlier in the day that McLain would not start Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, and it appeared he was getting a simple day off. However, it turns out he is dealing with an injury that will cost him the next 10 days of action. A timeline for his recovery was not revealed, so it remains to be seen when he will be back on the field. Expect Elly De La Cruz to serve as Cincinnati's regular shortstop until McLain is ready to resume playing.
AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Will Benson - Will not start Monday Benson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.
Impact Benson will get a breather after starting seven straight games in the outfield. Nick Senzel will get a chance to start Benson opening Monday's contest on the bench.
AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Stephenson - Takes seat Monday Stephenson is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.
Impact Stephenson posted a .988 OPS over his last 10 games, but he has not started three days in a row behind the plate all season, so it comes as no surprise that he is getting a breather after opening behind the plate the past two days.
AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt McLain - Receives rare rest day McClain is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.
Impact McClain went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks, so manager David Bell decided it was time for McClain's first day off since Aug. 7. Elly De La Cruz will slide over and cover the shortstop position in McClain's place.
AUGUST 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Stuart Fairchild - Starting in return Fairchild (concussion) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Fairchild spent the past week on the concussion list after a collision with the outfield wall, but he is ready to return and will immediately claim a spot in the starting nine. To be precise, Fairchild will start in right field and hit seventh for the Reds on Monday night.

Graham Ashcraft - Yields two runs in no-decision Ashcraft allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk over 6.2 frames in Sunday's loss to Arizona. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Ashcraft gave up one run through six innings before coughing up a solo shot to Lourdes Gurriel in the seventh. Ashcraft has allowed three or fewer runs in 11 consecutive starts, posting a 2.39 ERA during that span. His season ERA still sits at 4.73 alongside a 105:51 K:BB through 140.2 frames. Ashcraft's next start is projected to be at home against the Cubs.

Daniel Duarte - Brought back from Triple-A The Reds recalled Duarte from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
Impact Duarte was summoned from Triple-A to give the Reds a fresh arm out of the bullpen after Cincinnati received just five innings from its starting pitchers over the previous two days. Over 20 prior relief appearances with Cincinnati in 2023, Duarte has pitched to a 3.86 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 18.2 innings.
AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brett Kennedy - Heads to Triple-A The Reds optioned Kennedy to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
Impact Kennedy covered four innings of long relief in Friday's 10-8 loss to Arizona and might not have been available for another day or two, so the Reds opted to swap him off the 26-man active roster in favor of a fresh arm in right-hander Daniel Duarte, who was called up from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Cincinnati has a doubleheader coming up next Friday versus the Cubs that will create a temporary need for a sixth starter, so Kennedy could be headed back to the big club in short order to fill the opening in the rotation.
AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Martini - Stays hot Saturday Martini went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and two RBI in Saturday's 8-7 win over Arizona.
Impact Martini has now posted a monstrous 1.423 OPS through five games with the Reds since being called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, and so long as he's wielding a hot bat, he'll likely continue to play on a near-everyday basis while Cincinnati is without the likes of Jonathan India (foot), Joey Votto (shoulder), Jake Fraley (toe) and Stuart Fairchild (concussion). Martini will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Sunday's series finale.
