Reinstated from restricted list Solano was reinstated from the restricted list Saturday.

Impact Solano went from the paternity list to the restricted list this week, but evidently he's cleared all protocols and is ready to return to action. While he's not a part of the long-term plans in Cincinnati, Solano is slashing .310/.374/.434 in limited action this year and figures to play regularly between third base and DH the rest of the way.

Impact With the Reds having a day off Thursday, it's safe to assume Solano will be out until this weekend's series in Pittsburgh. The 34-year-old has slashed an impressive .310/.374/.434 with 16 RBI in 163 plate appearances this season.

Full-time DH role awaits Solano will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact The righty-hitting Solano was already a fixture in the lineup against left-handed pitching when the Reds are at full strength, but he should be primed to get regular starts against right-handed pitchers like the Mets' Carlos Carrasco after Cincinnati placed his platoon mate at DH, Mike Moustakas (calf), on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Solano owns a .289/.341/.421 slash line in 85 plate appearances versus righties on the season.

Added to Monday's lineup Solano was added to the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Solano was set to open Monday's game on the bench, but fellow infielder Kyle Farmer was scratched with a sore neck, and Solano will be the player who takes his place in the lineup. Solano will serve as the designated hitter and hit fifth against Mets starter Chris Bassitt.

Takes seat against righty Solano is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Solano went 5-for-25 with two extra-base hits and three walks while starting in each of the past seven games, but he'll take a seat Monday with right-hander Chris Bassitt toeing the rubber for the Mets. The righty-hitting Solano will primarily handle a short-side platoon role at designated hitter moving forward, but his ability to play second base and third base will occasionally allow him to pick up work against righties when Jonathan India and Kyle Farmer need days off.

Goes yard in win Solano went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Brewers.

Impact Solano has slumped a bit lately, going 5-for-27 (.185) in his last eight contests. His homer Saturday was his first since July 22, but the Reds' lack of better options has kept the versatile infielder in the lineup. For the season, he's slashing .299/.357/.444 with three homers, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored and eight doubles in 35 contests. Jose Barrero's promotion has pushed Kyle Farmer to third base full time, but it appears Solano will maintain his fair share of playing time as the designated hitter.

Gets third consecutive start Solano will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Solano will draw his third consecutive start Tuesday, with the most recent two coming against left-handed pitching. As the Cincinnati roster is currently constructed, Solano looks to be a short-side platoon player, but a path to a full-time role could open up if the Reds move Brandon Drury prior to Tuesday's 6 p.m. ET trade deadline.
