Nick Senzel - Notches fifth steal Senzel went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Giants.

Impact Senzel knocked in the opening run and stole a base in the second inning, but the Giants took over after that. After enduring a 2-for-18 skid, Senzel has gone 5-for-10 with a double, three RBI, three steals and two runs scored in his last three contests. The outfielder still has plenty to prove -- he's slashing .222/.275/.272 with one home run, 11 RBI, 19 runs scored, five steals and five doubles across 171 plate appearances this season, but he's finally trending in the right direction again.

Brandon Drury - Pops 15th homer in loss Drury went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Giants.

Impact Drury went yard in the eighth inning, but it was far too late to make an impact on the result. He's clubbed seven of his 15 homers in his last 21 contests while going 28-for-84 (.333) in June. The productive month has boosted his slash line to .270/.329/.522 with 37 RBI, 44 runs scored, a stolen base and 13 doubles in 61 contests overall. As long as the bat stays hot, Drury should be penciled in for a near-everyday role at third base and as the No. 2 hitter.

Mike Minor - Hit hard in loss Minor (1-4) allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings, taking the loss versus the Giants on Saturday.

Impact Minor allowed three home runs, though he was fortunate they were all solo shots. It was still far too much for the Reds to overcome, and the southpaw has only picked up one run through five starts since making his season debut June 3. He's sporting an ugly 7.71 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB through 25.2 innings, and he's already allowed 10 long balls after giving up 26 in 28 starts last year. The 34-year-old will try to keep the ball down in a home start versus Atlanta next week.

Impact India was hit in his right wrist/hand in top of the fifth inning by Logan Webb, forcing him to later be removed for Matt Reynolds in the eighth. Due to the fact that he was able to stay in the game for multiple innings, India can be considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale.

Tyler Stephenson - Approaching rehab assignment Manager David Bell said Saturday that he hopes Stephenson (thumb) could begin a rehab assignment in the next week to 10 days, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Stephenson sustained a fractured right thumb June 9 and initially carried a return timetable of 4-to-6 weeks, but he appears to be slightly ahead of schedule in his recovery. He shed his cast this week and will likely resume baseball activities in the coming days as he prepares for a minor-league rehab assignment.

Hunter Strickland - Notches third save Strickland saved Friday's 4-2 win against the Giants, recording a walk and strikeout apiece in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact With Alexis Diaz (biceps) and Tony Santillan (back) both sidelined, manager David Bell turned to Strickland for the save and the righty delivered against his former team. The 33-year-old was able to work around a two-out walk and has now logged each of Cincinnati's last two saves, though he possesses an uninspiring 5.11 ERA and 1.74 WHIP with 18 walks and 24 strikeouts in 24.2 innings.

Graham Ashcraft - Goes eight innings in win Ashcraft (4-1) earned the win during Friday's 4-2 victory over San Francisco, allowing two runs on six hits with eight strikeouts in eight innings.

Impact Coming off two subpar starts, Ashcraft regained his previous form with the best outing of his short career. The 24-year-old was staked to an early lead and cruised through seven easy frames while recording an impressive eight strikeouts despite averaging just 3.2 per start through his first six turns. Manager David Bell opted to stick with Ashcraft for the eighth and the young righty showed poise by inducing a double play and permitting just one run after putting two runners on with none out. He now sports a 3.27 ERA and 1.09 WHIP and is projected to pitch again midweek against the Cubs.

Alexis Díaz - Bullpen session Saturday Diaz (biceps) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The 25-year-old landed on the injured list last weekend with right biceps tendinitis, but he resumed playing catch Wednesday and is set to retake the mound Saturday. Diaz is eligible to return from the injured list late next week, and he may not end up missing much more than the 15-day minumum.

Nick Lodolo - Making another rehab start Lodolo (back) is scheduled for another minor-league rehab start Wednesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The 24-year-old covered four scoreless innings during his previous rehab outing Thursday with Triple-A Louisville, and he'll remain in the minors for at least one more rehab appearance. Lodolo is expected to throw about five innings and 85-to-90 pitches in what should be his final start before rejoining the Reds' rotation.

Jared Solomon - Recalled by Reds Solomon was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

Impact Solomon was sent to Louisville on June 9, and he posted a 3.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in six innings over five relief appearances following his demotion. However, he'll rejoin the Reds' bullpen after Jeff Hoffman (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jeff Hoffman - Placed on injured list Hoffman was placed on the injured list for an unspecified reason Friday.

Impact Since the Reds didn't provide an injury designation for Hoffman on Friday, it seems likely that he's on the COVID-19 injured list. Assuming that's the case, he'll be eligible to return as soon as he clears the league's health and safety protocols, but his return timetable depends on whether he's tested positive for the virus. Right-hander Jared Solomon was recalled to take Hoffman's place in the rotation.
