Tyler Naquin - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Remains on bench Naquin isn't starting Monday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Naquin has crossed the plate in each of his last three appearances, but he'll be excluded from the lineup for a third consecutive game. Aristides Aquino will take over in center field and bat eighth.

Sitting again Sunday Naquin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Naquin will take a seat for the second day in a row, as Shogo Akiyama will be rewarded with another start in the outfield after going 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-3 win. Though Naquin still looks to have an edge on the everyday role in center field, his grasp on the job has likely slipped now that Nick Castellanos has re-entered Cincinnati's outfield mix.

On bench Saturday Naquin isn't starting Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Although right-hander Mitch Keller is starting for the Pirates on Saturday, Naquin will take a seat after he went 0-for-7 with two runs, a walk and two strikeouts across the last two games. Shogo Akiyama will start in center field and bat eighth.

AUGUST 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Idle versus lefty Naquin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Impact The lefty-hitting Naquin will head to the bench for the second time in four games, giving way to Shogo Akiyama in center field with a southpaw (Charlie Barnes) on the hill for Minnesota. Naquin is hitting a respectable .267 since the All-Star break, but he's failed to hit a home run and has provided eight RBI, six runs and a stolen base in 17 games over that stretch.

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doubles twice, steals base Sunday Naquin went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two walks, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Mets.

Impact Naquin recorded his first multi-hit effort since July 19. The outfielder padded Cincinnati's lead with a two-run double in the ninth inning. He's hit to a .247/.313/.429 slash line with 13 home runs, 57 RBI, 33 runs scored, 17 doubles and five stolen bases through 342 plate appearances this year as a near-everyday option in the outfield.

Takes seat Saturday Naquin isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Mets.

Impact Naquin had reached base safely in each of the last four games and went 3-for-15 with two doubles, two runs, a walk and five strikeouts. He'll get a rare day off while Shogo Akiyama starts in center field and bats eighth.

JULY 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Career night in loss Naquin went 5-for-6 with a double and four RBI in Monday's 15-11 extra-innings loss to the Mets.

Impact The five knocks were a new career high for the 30-year-old, but Naquin's efforts couldn't get the Reds into the win column. He still hasn't recaptured his early-season power stroke, but since the beginning of July he's slashing a palatable .280/.333/.380 with a homer, six runs and nine RBI in 14 games.

JULY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in two Naquin went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs and two RBI in Friday's 11-6 loss to the Brewers.

Impact The double was only the second extra-base hit that Naquin has produced over his last 16 games, with the veteran outfielder plating just five runs over that stretch. Though Naquin is beginning to cool off after a red-hot start to the season, he appears fairly secure in an everyday role in the outfield while Nick Senzel (knee) remains sidelined.

Pops 13th homer Naquin went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

Impact He snapped an 0-for-12 skid with the fifth-inning blast. Naquin is batting .243 (17-for-70) since the beginning of June with only three of his 13 homers on the season, but he's retained a near-everyday role long after his early-season power surge has evaporated.

JULY 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Friday Naquin (wrist) is back in the starting lineup Friday against the Cubs.

Impact Naquin did not start in the previous four games due to right wrist soreness, though he did get two at-bats off the bench in Thursday's win. He'll bat fifth and play center field Friday.

JULY 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still not starting Naquin (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

Impact Naquin will miss a fourth consecutive game due to right wrist soreness, and he hasn't appeared off the bench in any of those contests. Manager David Bell was hopeful that the center fielder could return to the lineup Thursday, but he'll need at least one more day to recover. Aristides Aquino will start in center field and bat seventh.

JULY 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out of lineup Naquin (wrist) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Impact Naquin was scratched from Monday's lineup due to right wrist soreness, and he'll be held out for a third straight game. It's not yet clear when he could return, but Shogo Akiyama will start in center field and bat eighth.

JUNE 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not in Tuesday's lineup Naquin (wrist) will sit Tuesday against the Padres.

Impact Naquin was expected to sit Tuesday after getting scratched Monday due to right wrist soreness, though he likely would have sat even if fully healthy against the left-handed Blake Snell. Aristides Aquino will handle center field in his absence.

JUNE 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to start Tuesday Naquin (wrist) is unlikely to start Tuesday against the Padres but is expected to be available off the bench, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Naquin was scratched from Monday's matchup due to right wrist soreness, but the issue shouldn't force him to miss extended time. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Castellanos hits slam as Reds rally past Phillies 12-4

Nick Castellano hit a grand slam in the seventh inning and drove in a career-high seven runs, helping the Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies 12-4

JUNE 29, 2021 • Associated Press

Scratched from lineup Naquin was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies due to right wrist soreness, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Naquin took a seat against left-handers in two of the last three games, and he'll remain out of the lineup Monday following his late scratch. It's not yet clear whether the 30-year-old could be available off the bench, but Shogo Akiyama will take his place in center field and bat fifth.

JUNE 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat against lefty Naquin is not in the starting lineup Sunday against Atlanta.

Impact Naquin will retreat to the bench against lefty Kyle Muller. Scott Heineman will start in center field and bat eighth during the series finale.

JUNE 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hits bench against lefty Naquin will sit against Atlanta lefty Drew Smyly on Friday.

Impact Naquin has started just a single game against a southpaw all season, a setup that makes sense given that he owns a career 76 wRC+ against lefties but a 108 mark against righties. Aristides Aquino will handle center field in his absence.

JUNE 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Launches game-winning homer Naquin went 4-for-4 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Twins.

Impact The 30-year-old broke a 7-7 tie during the ninth inning with a 420-foot shot to left center to put the finishing touches on a perfect day at the plate. Naquin entered the contest 2-for-20 over his previous eight appearances, but he busted out of that slump with his first four-hit game of the year.
