Goes hitless in rare starts Farmer started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Milwaukee.
Impact The shortstop spot has been a black hole in the Cincinnati lineup for much of September, so manager David Bell opted to give Farmer a look at the position in the hope he might provide a spark. The move didn't pay off, with the hitless showing dropping Farmer's season-long average to .259. Farmer will retreat to his normal bench role in the series finale with the Brewers on Wednesday while Freddy Galvis starts at shortstop.

Rattles off three hits Farmer went 3-for-3 in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact The Reds were only able to muster six baserunners (four hits, two walks) against Kwang-Hyun Kim and the Cardinals' bullpen, and Farmer accounted for exactly half of them. All three of Farmer's hits were singles. The utility man is hitting .294/.351/.353 with three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base through 37 plate appearances this season.

Retreats to bench Farmer is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.
Impact Farmer had started five of the past six games at either middle-infield spot, but he'll take a seat in the series opener while Josh VanMeter gets a look at the keystone. Regular second baseman Mike Moustakas (quadriceps) remains on the injured list and is without a clear timeline for a return, so Farmer should have the chance to see the bulk of the starts at the position so long as he performs reasonably well offensively.

Sitting out series finale Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Farmer will retreat to the bench after making three consecutive starts in the middle infield, allowing Christian Colon and Freddy Galvis to pick up starts at the keystone and shortstop, respectively. With Mike Moustakas (quadriceps) moving to the 10-day injured list Sunday, Farmer looks like he could be in store for more regular action at second base, which could make him worthy of a pickup in NL-only leagues.

Joins big-league roster Stephenson was added to the 30-man roster Sunday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 23-year-old will replace Mike Moustakas (illness) on the roster, who was placed on the injured list Sunday. Tucker Barnhart (paternity) is away from the team, but Stephenson is still unlikely to see significant opportunities with Curt Casali and Kyle Farmer still on the roster.

Wins bench spot Farmer will be a part of the Reds' Opening Day roster, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact The versatile player will be both the Reds' third catcher and a utility infielder, as he appeared behind the plate and at all four infield spots last season. He's versatility is his primary calling card, as he hasn't done much with his bat in his first 294 career plate appearances, hitting just .236/.289/.384.

Impressing at shortstop The Reds have been impressed with Farmer's defense at shortstop in team workouts and scrimmages, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact Farmer is making a case to be Freddy Galvis's backup, as the Reds still don't have a true shortstop behind him. "He's a unique athlete in that he can play the two most important positions, demanding from an athletic standpoint and skill standpoint," manager David Bell said. "Not many people fall into that category. We knew that, but I don't think I gave it enough thought to truly see how good he was at that position. He made great points, and it opened my eyes. He's showed it in this camp. He can really play there. He knew that, and maybe other people knew that."
