2024 MLB free agents: Whose stock is up, down from Shohei Ohtani to Julio Urías
Hunter Greene - Confirmed for return Sunday The Reds announced that Greene (hip) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Blue Jays in Cincinnati.
Impact As anticipated, Greene will get the green light to make his first appearance for Cincinnati since June 17 after he completed a successful four-start rehab assignment in the minors Tuesday. In his latest outing Tuesday for Triple-A Louisville, Greene built up to 83 pitches and 5.2 innings, allowing one unearned run on one hit and three walks while striking out nine. Given the healthy workload he handled Tuesday, the 24-year-old is unlikely to face any significant restrictions as he steps back into the Cincinnati rotation this weekend.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alan Busenitz - Back with big club The Reds recalled Busenitz from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
Impact He'll be joining the 26-man active roster as a replacement on the pitching staff for right-hander Luke Weaver, who was designated for assignment. Busenitz has spent much of the season in the minors but has previously made four appearances out of the Cincinnati bullpen, giving up two earned runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Dunn - Beginning rehab assignment Dunn (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
Impact Dunn is expected to return to the Reds as a reliever, but he's been out all season with a right rotator cuff injury and will need to prove his health and effectiveness with several minor-league rehab appearances. The 27-year-old struggled to a 6.10 ERA across 31 innings (seven starts) for Cincinnati in 2022.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brett Kennedy - Likely to join rotation Kennedy is expected to join Cincinnati's rotation and make a start during this weekend's home series versus the Blue Jays, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Kennedy previously made a five-inning spot start in his Reds debut July 4, but since returning from Triple-A Louisville on Aug. 7, he's made one two-inning appearance out of the bullpen. However, with the Reds designating Luke Weaver for assignment Wednesday, Kennedy now looks to be the next man up to fill the team's vacant fifth starter role. Kennedy looks poised to start either Friday or Saturday, but he may be in line for only a brief stay in the rotation, as the Reds could get Nick Lodolo (tibia) back from the injured list as soon as next weekend.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Weaver - Cut from 40-man roster Weaver was designated for assignment by the Reds on Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The Reds gave Weaver 21 starts this season even as he posted a 6.87 ERA. He will undoubtedly clear waivers and can elects free agency once that happens. Hunter Greene (hip) is expected to be ready to rejoin Cincinnati's rotation the next time Weaver's turn comes up.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Stephenson - Retreats to bench Stephenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Stephenson is slashing a woeful .180/.254/.246 since the All-Star break, and his ongoing struggles at the dish appear to have resulted in him moving into more of a timeshare at catcher with Luke Maile. The two backstops have now alternated starts behind the plate over the past eight games.

Hunter Greene - Dominant in rehab start Greene (hip) allowed one unearned run on one hit and three walks while striking out nine over 5.2 innings for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Impact Greene raised his pitch count to 83 in his fourth rehab start. The Reds targeted Aug. 20 for the right-hander to make his return to the majors, and he appears set to hit that mark.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Fraley - MRI scheduled Fraley (toe) will undergo an MRI on Aug. 18, MLB.com reports.l
Impact Fraley has already used up the 10-day minimum stay on the IL, and it's uncertain at which point he can began rehab. The results of the MRI may provide clearer answer about the outfielder's next step.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ben Lively - Next rehab start coming Friday Lively (pectoral) is scheduled to make a second rehab start Friday for Triple-A Louisville, MLB.com reports.
Impact Lively was expected to throw 85 pitches during his first rehab start Sunday but lasted just 32 pitches after allowing six runs in two-thirds of an inning. This is Lively's second stint on the injured list to a pectoral strain.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan India - Upset by original diagnosis India (foot) expressed dismay at how the Reds originally assessed his plantar fasciitis injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact At issue for India is how long the team had him abstain from running. At the time of his injury in late July, the club prescribed a week of inactivity. India began rehab work and suffered a setback, prompting a second MRI from a doctor in Los Angeles, which revealed a more significant tear. The doctor said India should have taken two weeks off before beginning rehab. The infielder, who was scratched from a start July 29 then added to the injured list, was shut down for two weeks as of last Friday and feels would have been back had he been initially shut down for two weeks.

Reds vs. Guardians Prediction, Odds, Picks - August 16
Graham Ashcraft - Goes seven innings in loss Ashcraft (6-8) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings against the Guardians. He struck out two.
Impact After allowing a pair of runs in the opening inning, Ashcraft blanked the Guardians over his subsequent six frames before allowing a third run in the seventh. However, the Reds failed to generate any run support in a 3-0 loss. Ashcraft hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start since June 24 -- he's pitched to a 2.17 ERA over his last nine outings. Overall, the 25-year-old right-hander has a 4.89 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 90:48 K:BB across 23 starts (127 innings) this season. Ashcraft's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Angels in his next outing.

AUGUST 15, 2023 • CLEVELAND.COM
T.J. Friedl - Steps out of lineup versus lefty Friedl is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Reds manager David Bell will stash three of his lefty-hitting regulars in Friedl, Joey Votto and Will Benson on the bench for the series opener while the Guardians bring southpaw Logan Allen to the hill. Stuart Fairchild will check in for Friedl in center field.
AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Stuart Fairchild - Becoming fixture in lineup Fairchild will start in center field and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Fairchild has largely served as a short-side platoon bat during his multiple stints with the big club this season, but he seems to have moved into more of a full-time role in August while the Reds have been down Jake Fraley (toe) and Jonathan India (foot). He'll be included in the lineup for the seventh time in eight games, replacing the lefty-hitting TJ Friedl in center field while southpaw Logan Allen takes the hill for Cleveland. Fairchild should occupy a corner-outfield spot when the Reds oppose right-handed pitching.
AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Will Benson - Gets day off versus lefty Benson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Benson will join fellow lefty hitter Joey Votto on the bench Tuesday while the Guardians bring southpaw Logan Allen to the hill. Though he's coming off a productive weekend in Pittsburgh in which he went 5-for-9 with two walks, four runs and a stolen base, Benson will cede his spot in the outfield to TJ Hopkins in the series opener with Cleveland.
AUGUST 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Votto - Sitting against lefty Votto is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Guardians.
Impact Henry Ramos will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and Christian Encarnacion-Strand will cover first base with left-hander Logan Allen getting the start for Cleveland. Spencer Steer is in left field and batting cleanup.
