Look: Reds Release Lineup Against NL Central Rival The Reds host an NL Central rival at Goodyear Ballpark on Monday night.
Alexis Díaz - Recovering from hamstring injury Diaz has been held out of Cactus League play after tweaking his hamstring during pitchers' fielding practice about a week ago, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Diaz said Monday that he feels "great" now and expects to be ready for his Cactus League debut this weekend. If he is indeed ready to pitch later this week and can avoid setbacks, Diaz should have enough time to be ready for Opening Day. The righty is expected to open the 2025 season as the Reds' closer, although he could be on a relatively short leash after posting a 3.99 ERA and just a 22.7 percent strikeout rate in 2024.
