INJURIES

Back with Cincinnati on MiLB deal The Reds re-signed Rios to a minor-league contract Feb. 1.
Impact Rios went 1-for-10 at the plate during a brief stint with the Reds in 2024 but spent most of the year at Triple-A Louisville, where he slashed .286/.385/.547 with 22 homers in 99 games. He's likely headed back to Louisville to begin the 2025 season.

Sticking around with Reds Rios signed a minor-league deal with the Reds on Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Rios was designated for assignment Friday and elected free agency. However, after spending the weekend testing the open market, he'll return to the Reds organization on a minor-league pact. The 30-year-old slashed .236/.333/.483 in 204 plate appearances with Triple-A Louisville.
JULY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Elects free agency Rios cleared waivers Saturday and elected to become a free agent, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The Reds designated Rios for assignment Friday after he went 1-for-9 over just five games in the majors, and he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere. The 30-year-old owns an .816 OPS through 204 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, so he should have little trouble securing a minor-league deal.

Removed from 40-man roster The Reds designated Rios for assignment Friday.
Impact Rios had his contract selected July 5 but logged only 10 plate appearances and went 1-for-9 with four strikeouts. He'll vacate his spot on the active roster for Stuart Fairchild (back). If Rios clears waivers, he'll likely remain within the Reds' organization.
JULY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Makes first start Rios started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 6-0 win over Colorado.
Impact Rios made his first start for the Reds since his contract was selected from Triple-A Louisville. He was part of several moves the club made when it placed Nick Martini (thumb) and Stuart Fairchild (back) on the 10-day injured list. Once Austin Slater, who was recently acquired from the Giants, joins the team Tuesday, Rios could return to Louisville.
JULY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Joins big-league roster The Reds selected Rios' contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Rios has been at Louisville all season, where he's put up an .826 OPS with 11 home runs over 50 contests. The 30-year-old is capable of handle the corner infield and corner outfield spots, but it seems unlikely he'll garner much playing time with Cincinnati.

Removed from 40-man roster Rios was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Rios was optioned to Iowa after being reinstated from the injured list in mid-June, and he's now lost his spot on Chicago's 40-man roster. The 29-year-old has an .810 OPS at Triple-A this season but struggled to a .071/.235/.214 slash line over 34 plate appearances in the majors.

Activated, optioned to Triple-A The Cubs reinstated Rios (groin) off the 10-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact Rios has struggled mightily in the majors this season, slashing just .071/.235/.214 across 34 plate appearances. His OPS jumps up to .781 in Triple-A, but it's unlikely he gets many more opportunities in the big leagues unless he shows improvement in the minors.
JUNE 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sent out for rehab assignment Rios (groin) will head to Triple-A Iowa to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday.
Impact Rios is likely to remain at Iowa at least through the weekend to stack up plate appearances after he had been on the shelf for the past week with a left groin strain. Before he was deactivated, Rios slashed .071/.235/.214 with one home run in 34 plate appearances with the Cubs while mostly serving as a bench bat.
JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Begins baseball activities Rios (groin) was cleared to resume baseball activities Tuesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rios is about a week removed from being diagnosed with a mild left groin strain. He'll probably be asked to play a handful of minor-league rehab games before the Cubs activate him from the IL, as the 29-year-old has posted a rough .071/.235/.214 batting line over 18 games (34 plate appearances) this season in the majors.
JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Diagnosed with groin strain Rios landed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday (retroactive to Sunday) with a left groin strain.
Impact The details of Rios' injury are now known, and he will be eligible to return in a week. Rios is slashing just .071/.235/.214 on the season, and his absence shouldn't have any significant impact on the Cubs' lineup.
JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lands on injured list The Cubs placed Rios on the 10-day injured list Wednesday for undisclosed reasons, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact The Cubs have yet to announce what exactly is wrong with Rios, but the 29-year-old first baseman will sit out the next 10 days regardless. Rios hasn't found much success in the majors this season, and he hasn't recorded a hit since he was recalled May 19. He has just 11 plate appearances since the beginning of May, so his absence likely won't affect anyone else's playing time.

The Chicago Cubs placed Cody Bellinger on the injured list and designated Eric Hosmer for assignment Friday.

Cubs shuffle deck with Bellinger to IL, Hosmer designated for assignment
Recalled from Iowa The Cubs recalled Rios from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Impact Rios struggled at the plate with Chicago to begin 2023, but he has seemingly found his groove in Triple-A with a .822 OPS through 28 plate appearances. He will take the place of Eric Hosmer as the Cubs' backup first baseman, as Hosmer was designated for assignment Friday.
MAY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Optioned to Triple-A Rios was optioned to Triple-A Iowa by the Cubs on Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rios hasn't received much playing time with the Cubs and hasn't done much with the time he has been given, producing just a .580 OPS over 25 plate appearances. He's clearing out to make room for Matt Mervis on the roster.
MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Sunday Rios is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Impact Rios has mostly been relegated to pinch-hitting duties lately, and he only has 17 at-bats all season. Patrick Wisdom and Nick Madrigal have both seen more playing time at third base, so Rios has fairly limited fantasy appeal in his current role, though he offers some home run potential when he's in the lineup.
APRIL 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Seeing little playing time early Rios is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Impact Rios has made just two starts through the Cubs' first six games and looks to be stuck in a part-time role at the moment. He hasn't helped his case for earning more playing time by going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts and a walk during the two games in which he's appeared.
APRIL 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Not in starting lineup again Rios is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Brewers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's the second time in three games that Rios has not been a part of the starting nine for the Cubs. Nick Madrigal hits ninth while getting the start at third, and Luis Torrens will bat eighth as the designated hitter against Eric Lauer and the Milwaukee pitching staff.
APRIL 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Saturday Rios is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth in Saturday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Rios did not play in Thursday's season opener, so Saturday will mark his debut with the Cubs. The 28-year-old is expected to mix in at third base along with Patrick Wisdom and Nick Madrigal, though the DH role also gives him a path to playing time. Rios posted a .793 OPS with the Dodgers last year and has shown some pop from the left side as a part-time player the past few seasons.
APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
In the mix for starts at third base Rios is expected to be part of a timeshare at third base for the Cubs along with Patrick Wisdom and Nick Madrigal, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sharma writes that it won't be a straight platoon situation at the hot corner for the Cubs, but rather who starts there will be based more on what kind of pitcher they're facing. Madrigal is likely to face "starters with great swing-and-miss stuff," Wisdom will get the "soft-tossing lefties" and Rios the righties. That setup would seem to point to Rios seeing the most starts at third base of the three, although it looks to be a fluid situation. Rios will also see playing time at first base and the designated hitter spot. The former Dodger has an .898 OPS with four homers this spring, although his longstanding contact issues have also been present with a 30.6 percent strikeout rate. Still, Rios' power and what looks to be a pretty substantial role makes him an interesting late-round fantasy target.
MARCH 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Working on new approach Rios has altered his approach at the plate this spring, which has included reducing his leg kick, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rios is aiming to simplify his swing and unlock more power in the process. The infielder is just 6-for-31 in Cactus League action, though three of those hits have left the park. Rios displayed some pop the last four seasons with the Dodgers. but he never saw consistent enough playing time to truly become a fantasy asset. If he has a bigger role with the Cubs, he could be someone worth keeping an eye on.
