Reds' manager Terry Francona gives incredible 2-word answer to watching Snoop Dogg concert | Sporting News Tito is the best.
Spencer Horwitz - Idle against southpaw Horwitz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Horwitz batted leadoff in each of the last four games and got on base at a .389 clip while scoring two runs and driving in two more, but the Pirates haven't yet committed to using him regularly against left-handed pitching. With southpaw Jose Quintana on the hill for Milwaukee, the left-handed-hitting Horwitz will give way to the right-handed-hitting Liover Peguero at first base.

Henry Davis - Getting Monday off Davis is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Davis will take a seat for the series opener in Milwaukee after he started behind the plate in three of the Pirates' four games versus the Reds this past weekend. Joey Bart will get the nod at catcher and will bat seventh Monday.

Alexander Canario - Filling in for Cruz versus lefty Canario will start in center field and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Brewers.
Impact With southpaw Jose Quintana taking the hill for Milwaukee, the right-handed-hitting Canario will get the nod over the left-handed-hitting Oneil Cruz in center field. Given that Cruz is slashing just .110/.219/.190 over 114 plate appearances versus left-handed pitching for the season, Canario could end up settling in as his regular platoon partner.

Oneil Cruz - Taking seat versus lefty Cruz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
Impact The left-handed-hitting Cruz will take a seat for the Pirates' second straight matchup with a lefty (Jose Quintana), as he previously exited the lineup in last Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Giants while southpaw Robbie Ray started for San Francisco. Alexander Canario will cover center field in place of Cruz, who is slashing just .110/.219/.190 over 114 plate appearances versus left-handed pitching this season.

Chase Burns - Facing innings limit Reds manager Terry Francona said he met with Burns on Monday to discuss how to handle workload restrictions with the pitcher down the stretch, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cinci...
Impact What exactly those workload restrictions will look like is not clear, but with Hunter Greene (groin) rejoining the rotation Wednesday and Nick Lodolo (blister) possibly back next week, Burns could be booted from the Reds' rotation soon. The team doesn't want to completely shut Burns down, so it might have to get creative with his usage. Burns has totaled 100.1 innings this season between the majors and minors after throwing an even 100 last year at Wake Forest. The young righty's next start is tentatively lined up for Friday against the Brewers.
