Luis Mey - Sent back down to minors The Reds optioned Mey to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact Mey was recalled from Louisville on Tuesday and got into one game with the Reds, allowing two runs on three walks, a hit batsman and one hit over one-third of an inning versus St. Louis on Friday. He'll now return to the minors in order to clear a spot on the 26-man roster for Rhett Lowder (shoulder), who was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Rhett Lowder - Officially activated ahead of start The Reds activated Lowder (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Lowder landed on the injured list May 13 due to right shoulder discomfort, and he's slated to make his return as Sunday's starting pitcher after missing just over three weeks. The right-hander tossed 70 pitches for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday in his lone rehab appearance, so he may be held to a pitch count in his return to the big-league rotation. To make room for Lowder on the 26-man roster, Cincinnati optioned reliever Luis Mey to Louisville.

Tejay Antone - Escapes inherited jam Antone allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over 1.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's 6-5 loss to St. Louis.

Impact Antone escaped a bases-loaded jam with none out, inducing a double-play grounder and a groundout to shortstop. After a rocky return to the majors early in May, Antone has authored six consecutive scoreless outings, giving up five hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings.

Sam Moll - Blows lead Moll (1-4) allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one and was tagged with a loss and blown save in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Moll is the latest Reds reliever to meltdown. Cincinnati manager Terry Francona has cycled through a few relievers in search of someone that can replace injured closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring). Despite Saturday's unfortunate outing, Moll has pitched well overall and sports a 2.96 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 30 appearances (27.1 innings).

Matt McLain - Goes deep in loss McLain started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to St. Louis.

Impact McLain launched his sixth home run of the season in the fourth inning, giving Cincinnati a 5-3 lead. He's started at shortstop in four of the five games since Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) landed on the injured list. Edwin Arroyo started the other contest.

Blake Dunn - Three hits Saturday Dunn went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Getting the start in left field against southpaw Matthew Liberatore while Dane Myers covered center field, Dunn delivered his third straight multi-hit performance while swiping his third bag of the season. The 27-year-old has seized a regular role in the Cincinnati outfield by batting .324 (23-for-71) over his last 17 games with one homer, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs.

Nick Lodolo - No-decision in St. Louis Lodolo didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals, giving up four runs on nine hits and a walk over five-plus innings. He struck out three.

Impact The southpaw got tagged for three runs in the second inning and another in the fifth on a Jordan Walker solo shot, but Lodolo actually left the mound with the Reds nursing a 5-4 lead, only for the bullpen to blow it late. Lodolo has lasted at least five innings in five of six starts since making his season debut in early May due to blister issues, managing a 5.51 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25:14 K:BB over 32.2 innings while serving up eight homers. He'll look to produce a sharper outing in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Cincinnati Reds Get Encouraging Update on Hunter Greene and Elly De La Cruz Terry Francona spoke to reporters ahead on Saturday's game and provided an encouraging injury update.

5 DAYS AGO • SI.COM

Elly De La Cruz - Next MRI scheduled for Friday De La Cruz (hamstring) had his scheduled MRI moved up three days to this coming Friday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact De La Cruz is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks due to a right hamstring strain that he sustained this past Sunday against Atlanta. The good news for the superstar shorstop is that he appears to be progressing ahead of his recovery schedule, so Friday's MRI should give the Reds a better sense of next steps for De La Cruz's rehab program. In his absence, Matt McLain is expected to see more starts at shortstop, and Edwin Arroyo and Noelvi Marte are also slated to see more playing time.

Impact Greene continues to recover from a procedure in mid-March to remove bone chips from his right elbow. He was cleared to throw in bullpen sessions in late May, and the Reds will have a better sense of the right-hander's recovery timeline once he's been given the green light to embark on a rehab assignment.

Edwin Arroyo - Sitting Saturday Arroyo isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against St. Louis.

Impact Arroyo will take a seat Saturday after going 2-for-10 with two walks and six strikeouts across his first four games as an MLB player. Spencer Steer will start at second base in Arroyo's stead, and Noelvi Marte will enter the starting nine as Cincinnati's right fielder.

Tyler Stephenson - Idle Saturday Stephenson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Stephenson broke an 0-for-12 stretch at the plate by hitting a single in Friday's loss, and he'll now retreat to the bench to begin Saturday's contest. P.J. Higgins will fill in at catcher and bat ninth.

Blake Dunn - Moves to center field Dunn started in center field and went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Friday's 10-3 loss to St. Louis.

Impact Dunn opened the game with a single and scored the Reds' first run. This was his second straight start in center field, after the club demoted TJ Friedl on Wednesday. At the very least, Dunn will serve as the strong side of a platoon there with Dane Myers entering the lineup against lefties. Dunn is slashing .284/.333/.420 over 87 plate appearances since his call-up in early May.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Noelvi Marte - Makes first start since call-up Marte started in right field and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Marte made his first start since being recalled Thursday. The Reds have cycled through a few bodies in right field, including Marte earlier this season, and will give him another shot. The recent demotion of TJ Friedl opened up center field for Blake Dunn, leaving right field open for Marte or Will Benson whenever Spencer Steer is occupied at another position.
