Makes spring debut McLain started at second base and went 0-for-2 in Sunday's spring game against Cleveland.

Impact McLain took the field for the first time in a Cactus League game after dealing with an oblique injury. He batted third and played four innings in the field at what will be his primary role in 2024, Cincinnati's starter at second base. There's plenty of time for McLain to get at-bats and swings, and he should be ready to go Opening Day.

Making good progress Reds manager David Bell said Monday that McLain (oblique) is making good progress, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact McLain has been doing lots of core/medicine ball work and soon will attempt to swing the bat with light intensity. We are six days into a projected 5-to-7 day timetable that Bell had provided for McLain, who tweaked his right oblique. It's uncertain as to when he might be cleared for Cactus League action, but that does not appear imminent.

Taking swings McLain said he's "full-go" and gotten up to 100 swings at this point during the offseason, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact McLain's 2023 season ended prematurely with an oblique injury in late August. The middle infielder said he's working on adjustments that he plans to continue during spring training. Specifically, McLain wants to be better at is making contact on fastballs up in the zone. "Some of those four-seam guys who really ride the ball, I feel like if I can really take care of that fastball at the top of the zone, I can hit them at all the other places around the zone," McLain said. He started 52 games at shortstop and 33 at second base and has been working at both positions in preparation for spring training.

Rehabbing in Arizona McLain (oblique) has begun rehab work at the Reds' spring training complex in Arizona, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact McLain wound up missing the final month-plus of the season with an oblique injury, which he aggravated in late September. He's on the mend now, though, and should be healed up well ahead of spring training. McLain is in line to hold down a starting spot in the Reds' infield in 2024, with the position yet to be determined.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2023 • MLB.COM

Shut down with oblique injury McLain aggravated his right oblique Sunday and has been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact McLain was on the cusp of returning to the Reds following a nearly four-week absence for a right oblique strain, but the injury reappeared as he was playing in a minor-league rehab game this weekend with Triple-A Louisville. A fresh round of imaging scans taken Monday revealed it to be a Grade 2 strain, so he can probably be ruled out for a potential postseason run as well. The 24-year-old infielder finishes his rookie campaign with a .290/.357/.507 batting line, 16 homers, 50 RBI, 14 steals and 65 runs scored in 89 major-league games.

Not activated Tuesday McLain (oblique) will not be activated from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's game at Cleveland, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact McLain apparently needs at least one more day to recover from the right oblique strain that sent him to the IL in late August. The 24-year-old infielder spent the weekend on a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville and went 1-for-6 with a single, a walk and three strikeouts.

In Triple-A for rehab-assignment McLain (oblique) was sent to Triple-A Louisville on a rehab-assignment Saturday.

Impact McLain remains on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. The infielder had resumed taking batting practice earlier in the week as he nears the end of his recovery from a right oblique strain.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On track for Tuesday Manager David Bell said McLain (oblique) remains on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact McLain resumed taking batting practice earlier this week and is nearing the end of his recovery from the right oblique strain that has kept him on the shelf since late August. The 24-year-old infielder had delivered an impressive .290/.357/.507 slash line with 16 homers and 14 steals across his first 89 major-league games prior to suffering the injury.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could be activated next week Reds manager David Bell said McLain (oblique) could be reinstated from the 10-day injured list as soon as next Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Per MLB.com, McLain is expected to resume taking batting practice Monday, and if all goes well while he spends the upcoming week gradually ramping up the intensity of his baseball activities, he could get the green light to rejoin the Reds for the final week of the regular season. While McLain has been on the shelf since Aug. 28 with a right oblique strain, fellow rookie Noelvi Marte has been able to pick up more work on the left side of the infield.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out multiple weeks Reds manager David Bell said Sunday that McLain (oblique) will be out for another two-to-three weeks, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact McLain landed on the injured list Monday with a right oblique strain, and while it doesn't seem like a return is imminent, there is still room for McLain to return before the end of the season. Spencer Steer has been filling in as the Reds' second baseman while McLain is out, and Elly De La Cruz has been playing at shortstop.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Timeline for return uncertain Manager David Bell said Monday that McLain (oblique) is without a clear timeline for a return from the 10-day injured list, but the Reds are hopeful the rookie will play again this...

Impact McLain was surprisingly placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's 4-1 loss to the Giants after he was sent in for a precautionary MRI on Sunday and diagnosed with a right oblique strain. The Reds are still in the process of determining whether McLain is dealing with a Grade 1 or Grade 2 strain, the latter of which would necessitate a longer recovery timeline. If McLain's injury is on the milder side, he would have a chance at being available to return from the IL when first eligible Sept. 8.
