Elly De La Cruz - Moves to leadoff De La Cruz batted leadoff and went 0-for-4 with a walk in Saturday's 9-6 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact De La Cruz moved from second in the order to leadoff, as Blake Dunn (elbow) was held out Saturday. Dunn's condition has not yet been determined, so De La Cruz could remain in the leadoff spot until Dunn is ready to return. In four games back from the injured list, De La Cruz went 1-for-14 with three walks, one RBI and one run scored.

Dane Myers - Remains in center field Myers started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Pirates.

Impact Myers replaced Blake Dunn (elbow) during Friday's game when the latter was removed and remained in center field Saturday. An MRI on Dunn's elbow did not lend clarity to his condition, and he could return to Cincinnati for further testing. Until Dunn is ready to return, Myers is expected to get most of the work in center field. He's slashing .252/.356/.374 with three home runs, 13 RBI, five steals and 18 runs over 135 plate appearances (62 games).

Blake Dunn - MRI inconclusive Dunn (elbow) underwent an MRI on Saturday and is likely to return to Cincinnati for more testing, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact Dunn was not in Saturday's lineup after being removed from Friday's game with elbow discomfort. The Reds want to conduct further tests before landing on a diagnosis. "Until we get more back, he will stay with us today. And then we'll try to get as much information as we can," Reds manager Terry Francona said. Dunn was replaced in center field by Dane Myers and as the team's leadoff hitter by Elly De La Cruz.
