Sent to Triple-A Senzel was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

Impact Senzel had been starting at third base roughly two-thirds of the time lately, but the Reds will select Henry Ramos' contract to take his place on the active roster. On the season, Senzel has been worth -0.6 fWAR while slashing .219/.290/.368 with nine home runs and five steals in 80 games.

Heads to bench Monday Senzel is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Though Senzel finds himself on the bench for the series opener with Miami, he started in five of the Reds' first six games of August and went 3-for-20 with a solo home run. With Jake Fraley (toe) recently joining Jonathan India (foot) on the injured list, Senzel could be in store for a near-everyday role in the short term.

Homers in loss Senzel went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 extra-inning loss to the Nationals.

Impact As usual, Senzel got the start against a left-hander, Patrick Corbin, and he delivered immediately with the first of back-to-back homers in the first inning. He later had a chance to walkoff the Nats with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning, but his weak liner against right-hander Andres Machado was caught and the teams moved onto the 10th inning. Senzel is typically pinch hit for late in games when facing a right-hander, against whom he is batting just .180 this season, but no left-handed bat was available off the bench at that time. Jake Fraley (undisclosed) was unavailable, while Will Benson and TJ Friedl had already entered the game.

Still with Reds Senzel started at third base and went 0-for-4 with three errors in Wednesday's 16-6 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Senzel's usage has picked up recently as a result of Jonathan India (foot) landing on the injured list, but the player presumed to be a trade chip at the deadline remained with the Reds. The influx of youth has marginalized Senzel, who told Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer that he loves the organization but would like more playing time, something that could have occurred had he been traded. "I'm at a different point in my career than the younger guys we have on our team because I'm getting paid year-to-year now," Senzel said, referring to the two more years under club control. "With that, I need at-bats; I need the innings; I need the games played." Senzel is slashing .231/.306/.376 over 248 plate appearances.

Replaces India in lineup Senzel was a late addition to the starting lineup in left field and went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Senzel was added to the lineup after the Reds scratched Jonathan India (heel). Spencer Steer was slated to start in left, but he was moved to third base as part of a lineup reshuffle to accommodate India's absence. The Reds await results of an MRI on India's injury.

Homers in win Senzel started in right field and went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over Washington.

Impact Senzel, making his first start since June 26 in Baltimore, gave the Reds a 5-0 lead in the third inning with his sixth home run of the season. He's been lost in the shuffle as an influx of young prospects pushed him to the bench. In addition to the competition, Senzel's playing time took a hit due to an unproductive bat. He batted just .143 (6-for-42) with two RBI and a .448 OPS for the month of June.

On the bench again Friday Senzel is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Padres.

Impact Senzel has now been out of the lineup for three straight games and started just six of 13 contests since returning from the injured list. He's just 4-for-25 at the plate over that span and could continue to see his playing time squeezed on a Reds club that's been a surprise contender.

Sits again Wednesday Senzel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Senzel will take a seat for the second day in a row and the third time in four games after going just 1-for-13 at the dish since returning from the injured list earlier this month. With Will Benson swinging a hot bat thus far in June, he appears to have the edge over Senzel for the final spot in the Reds' everyday outfield for the time being.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Tuesday Senzel is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

Impact Will Benson, TJ Friedl and Jake Fraley will start across the outfield for the host Reds. This appears to be a normal day of rest for Senzel, who slugged a solo homer in Monday's win over Colorado.

Impact Senzel will return to the big leagues Friday after missing the minimum 10 days while nursing a sore right knee. The 27-year-old appeared in two games with Triple-A Louisville while on a rehab assignment, going 2-for-7 with two runs scored while walking once and striking out twice. Prior to getting hurt, Senzel had produced a .277 average with three doubles, nine RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base over his previous 13 games.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start rehab assignment Senzel (knee) is set to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Senzel was initially supposed to start for Louisville on Sunday, but their game got rained out and they had an off day Monday. The 27-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since last Tuesday with right knee irritation and isn't eligible to be activated until Friday, so he'll likely make multiple starts in Triple-A.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kicks off rehab assignment Senzel (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Senzel will hit leadoff and start at third base in his first game with Louisville, a promising sign for his health after he was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to right knee irritation. The Reds may want Senzel to get another game or two under his belt in the minors before bringing him back from the IL at some point during next weekend's series in Houston. Once activated, Senzel should be in store for a near-everyday role, though he could see most of his action in the outfield moving forward following the recent promotion of top prospect Elly De La Cruz to the big leagues.

JUNE 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Knee issue considered minor Reds manager David Bell said Wednesday that Senzel (knee) could return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Senzel was placed on the injured list Tuesday due to irritation in his right knee, but it's nothing overly concerning and it sounds like he'll be back in the fold for the Reds next week. He'd been on a streak of solid production before the injury, though Elly De La Cruz is now up with Cincinnati to command regular starts at third base.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on IL with knee injury Senzel was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right knee irritation, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Senzel missed one game last week and another this week with the injury and the Reds have decided to give him a little down time. He will be eligible for activation on June 16, but whether he will be ready to roll at that time remains to be seen. Top prospect Elly De La Cruz is up to take Senzel's spot on the roster.

JUNE 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with sore knee Senzel was scratched from the Reds' lineup Monday due to right knee irritation, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Senzel was a late scratch from a game last week with the same injury. He should be considered day-to-day at this point. T.J. Hopkins entered the lineup Monday in Senzel's place.

JUNE 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Senzel (knee) is hitting seventh and playing left field versus the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Impact Senzel was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to soreness in his right knee, but manager David Bell seemed confident that it was a precautionary measure with a good to return to the lineup for Wednesday's affair. Senzel has played decently as of late, and he has picked multiple hits in three of his last seven games including a four-reach effort against the Cubs on Sunday.
