Emilio Pagán - Notches seventh save Pagan picked up the one-inning save in Sunday's 6-4 victory over the Rockies, allowing one run on a hit and a walk. He struck out three.
Impact Pagan looked to be cruising to another save by striking out the first two batters swinging in the ninth. However, he then yielded a walk and a double to snap his streak of three consecutive scoreless outings before securing the win with another strikeout. Pagan now sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB across 13.1 innings. He remains the closer over Alexis Diaz -- who pitched in the eighth inning for a hold.

Hunter Greene - Punches out eight in win Greene (3-2) earned the win Saturday against the Rockies, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out eight.
Impact After taking a drubbing against the Orioles in his last start, the Cincinnati looked much sharper in this 98-pitch performance, generating an incredible 20 whiffs. The long ball bit Greene again as all three Colorado runs were scored on homers by Michael Toglia and Adael Amador. Greene now sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 43:6 K:BB over 36.2 innings. He is scheduled to make his next start against the Cardinals at home.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Doing rotational exercises Encarnacion-Strand (back) has been doing rotational exercises since receiving an epidural for his back issues and will be evaluated after the weekend to determine whether he'll nee...
Impact So far there's no indication of a timetable for Encarnacion-Strand's return to action. When he returns, it'll be a little tricky to figure out his playing time following Noelvi Marte's strong performance this week. One possibility is Jeimer Candelario losing more playing time - Candelario is hitting only .118 and was left out of the starting lineup on Saturday.

Austin Hays - Goes yard twice in Colorado Hays went 2-for-4 with two solo homers and a walk in Saturday's 6-4 win against the Rockies.
Impact The veteran outfielder notched his seventh career multi-homer game, marking his first since June 3, 2024 when donning an Orioles uniform. Hays broke a 2-2 tie in the fourth with a 406-foot solo shot off Anthony Senzatela. Then he gave the Reds the lead again in the sixth inning with another solo homer off Senzatela, blasting it 429 feet to center. Hays has been a revelation since being activated from the injured list April 15. He's now slashing .386/.449/.773 with five homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored across 49 plate appearances.

Adael Amador - Homer and steal in loss Amador went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, a steal and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Cincinnati.
Impact The 22-year-old made his third consecutive start at second base and popped his first MLB homer off Hunter Greene in the fifth inning. Amador also pilfered his first bag of the season earlier in the game. The switch-hitter should continue to get regular playing time with the Rockies as long as Ezequiel Tovar (hip) remains on the injured list.

Antonio Senzatela - Suffers fourth loss Senzatela (1-4) took the loss Saturday against the Reds, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Impact The Colorado right-hander yielded a season-worst three homers, as he allowed four or more runs for the third time in his four starts. Senzatela remains a bottom-of-the-barrel fantasy option, sporting an unsightly 5.22 ERA, 1.87 WHIP 13:5 K:BB across 29.1 innings. He has allowed an MLB-worst 50 hits this season. Senzatela is currently slated to make his next start against the Giants on the road next weekend.
