Chris Heisey - #28 - Left Field - 6'0" - 224lbs
Sun. May 27, 2012 |
STATS
News: Heisey went 2 for 3 with a homer and three RBIs in Saturday's 10-3 win over Colorado.
Impact: Heisey is 6 for 15 in his last four games. Brandon Phillips - #4 - Second Base - 6'0" - 203lbs
Sun. May 27, 2012 |
STATS
News: Phillips went 3 for 4 with two RBIs in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact: The three hits were a season high for the second baseman. Mat Latos - #55 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 225lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Latos got the win against the Rockies on Sunday despite giving up a whopping five homers.
Impact: Working in Latos' favor is that all five homers were solo shots. In fact, the five homers were the only batters to not record an out in the 7.1 innings that Latos pitched - he gave up no walks or other hits, striking out three. He never pitched from the stretch in the game. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Chapman got a five-out save Sunday against the Rockies, striking out one and walking one.
Impact: Chapman came into a tight situation in the eighth inning - up two, but runners on the corners with Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki due up. He got the big strikeout of CarGo and then induced a fly out from Tulowitzki. Don't be surprised if Logan Ondrusek or Sean Marshall gets the call Monday, given Chapman's workload Sunday. Scott Rolen - #27 - Third Base - 6'4" - 245lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Rolen (shoulder) still has no timetable to return and won't join the Reds on their upcoming road trip, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: With the length of Rolen's absence, he's going to need a rehab assignment most likely, and right now there's no indication he's close to that. Jay Bruce - #32 - Right Field - 6'3" - 226lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Bruce broke an 0-for-14 slump Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a double and a walk.
Impact: Bruce seems to go through a couple of massive slumps every year - this has been the first of those this season. Todd Frazier - #21 - Third Base - 6'3" - 220lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Frazier is back in Sunday's lineup against the Rockies, the Reds' official site reports
Impact: Frazier returns to the Reds' lineup Sunday after starting Saturday's game on the bench. He ended up entering Saturday's game however, going 0-for-3. Chris Heisey - #28 - Left Field - 6'0" - 224lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Heisey is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rockies, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: Heisey, who went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI on Saturday, will give way to Ryan Ludwick in left field Sunday. Ryan Ludwick - #48 - Left Field - 6'3" - 218lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ludwick is in Sunday's lineup against the Rockies, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: With lefty Jamie Moyer on the hill for the Rockies on Sunday, the Reds will roll with an outfield of CF Drew Stubbs, RF Jay Bruce and Ludwick in left field, sending Chris Heisey to the bench. Todd Frazier - #21 - Third Base - 6'3" - 220lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Frazier is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, according to the Reds' official Twitter page.
Impact: Frazier has knocked in four runs over his last three games, but he will take a seat in favor of Miguel Cairo on Saturday. Jay Bruce - #32 - Right Field - 6'3" - 226lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Bruce is back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, according to the Reds' official Twitter page.
Impact: Bruce has had a rough go of it at the plate lately, but he will get a chance to snap out of his 1-for-27 slump Saturday night. As he typically does, Bruce will bat in the five hole in the order. Chris Heisey - #28 - Left Field - 6'0" - 224lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Heisey went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's win over the Rockies.
Impact: He also drew a walk in the game. This was the first home run of the season for Heisey, who is now 7-for-18 over his last five games. His season batting average now sits at .277 to go along with 10 RBI. Mike Leake - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 186lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Leake allowed three runs over 3.2 innings and did not factor in the decision Saturday against the Rockies.
Impact: He gave up nine hits while walking one and striking out four. In addition to giving up a lot of hits in less than four innings, Leake's pitch count was at 84 when Dusty Baker went to the bullpen. Luckily for Leake, the Reds' relief and offense carried them as they defeated the Rockies. His ERA on the season now sits at 5.47 to go along with 31 strikeouts and 15 walks. Joey Votto - #19 - First Base - 6'3" - 221lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
STATS
News: Votto had four hits for the Reds, including a pair of doubles, in Friday's 6-3 loss to Colorado.
Impact: Votto is batting .373 at home. Scott Rolen - #27 - Third Base - 6'4" - 245lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
STATS
News: Rolen has gone back on the 15-day disabled list because of a problem with his left shoulder, which had surgery last year.
Impact: The 37-year-old infielder has struggled at the plate, batting only .174 with two homers and 11 RBIs. He was examined by a doctor Saturday and went on the DL with a strained shoulder, which has been a chronic problem. He played in only 65 games last season because of the shoulder, having surgery Aug. 3. Rolen is in the final year of his contract and has acknowledged he's unsure if it will be his last in baseball. Nick Masset - #40 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 238lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
STATS
News: Masset will start the season on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his right shoulder.
Impact: Masset was held out for 12 days after feeling tightness after his March 7 outing in which he was removed after 2-3 of an inning. The right-hander returned March 19 and made his last appearance Thursday. Masset says "there is no major damage." Chris Heisey - #28 - Left Field - 6'0" - 224lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Heisey will start in right field and bat fifth against the Rockies on Friday, the Reds' official Twitter page reports.
Impact: Jay Bruce will take a seat against southpaw Christian Friedrich, so Heisey gets the start in right. The 27-year-old is batting .317 in May, and has now been included in the starting lineup six of the last seven days. Jay Bruce - #32 - Right Field - 6'3" - 226lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Bruce is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, the Reds' official Twitter page reports.
Impact: Chris Heisey will take right field and bat fifth in the absence of Bruce, who is currently amidst an awful 1-for-27 slump. The Reds are facing a left-hander in Christian Friedrich, so Bruce will sit, as he did May 16 against Johan Santana. Joey Votto - #19 - First Base - 6'3" - 221lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Votto was 4-for-4, including two doubles, with a run scored in Friday's 6-3 loss to Colorado.
Impact: Votto is now hitting .314 on the season and remains one of the most respected hitters in the National League. Unfortunately, the top of the Reds order has not been getting on base. He has four RBI in his last 12 games. Johnny Cueto - #47 - Pitcher - 5'10" - 220lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cueto was roughed up a bit by the Rockies on Friday, allowing five runs on 11 hits while walking two and striking out three over just 4.2 innings.
Impact: Cueto was brilliant earlier in the year, but has now had two poor outings in his last three starts. However, despite the recent struggles, he will sport a very respectable 2.53 ERA as he takes on the light-hitting Pirates on the road in his next scheduled start. Ryan Hanigan - #29 - Catcher - 6'0" - 207lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hanigan is back in the starting lineup Friday against the Rockies, the Reds Team Website reports.
Impact: Hanigan was given the day off Thursday, but he's back behind the plate Friday. He'll bat eighth against Christian Friedrich. Bill Bray - #45 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 226lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Bray (groin) underwent an MRI on his sore back, which revealed no structural damage, the Cincinnati Enquirer's John Fay reports.
Impact: Bray was placed on anti-inflammatories and hopes to be able to begin throwing again Monday. He originally went on the DL with a groin injury, but the back issue has flared up since then. Drew Stubbs - #6 - Center Field - 6'4" - 200lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Stubbs went 2-for-4 with a homer and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Braves.
Impact: Stubbs finally got his OBP over .300 with the game Thursday, but his fundamental problem - his strikeouts - remains. A .240-.250 batting average is his baseline so long as his contact rate remains so low. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Logan Ondrusek got the save Thursday against the Braves because Chapman was unavailable after working six of the last eight days, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Don't worry, the Reds haven't changed back their minds about the closer's job. Chapman should be available for any save chance that arises this weekend. Devin Mesoraco - #39 - Catcher - 6'1" - 220lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Mesoraco is in the starting lineup for the Reds on Thursday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact: The start will be Mesoraco's fourth in the last 10 games, but the rookie hasn't forced the issue for more playing time to this point, as he's hitting just .207/.299/.293 with one homer and three RBI through 20 games. Ryan Hanigan - #29 - Catcher - 6'0" - 207lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hanigan is not in the starting lineup Thursday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact: For now, Hanigan continues to see the slightly larger share of the playing time behind the plate for the Reds, as he's started six of the last 10 games while yielding the others to rookie Devin Mesoraco. Ryan Ludwick - #48 - Left Field - 6'3" - 218lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ludwick is not in the starting lineup Thursday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact: Chris Heisey appears to be gaining the upper hand in the ongoing battle for playing time in left field, as he'll be starting for the 10th time in 12 games Thursday night. Ludwick has only started five of the last 12 games, while three of those starts have come against left-handed pitching. Chris Heisey - #28 - Left Field - 6'0" - 224lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Heisey is starting in left field for the Reds on Thursday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact: The start is Heisey's 10th out of the Reds' last 12 games. During that span, he's going 13-for-35 (.371) with a pair of RBI. For now, it appears as though he has the upper hand in the left field timeshare over Ryan Ludwick. Devin Mesoraco - #39 - Catcher - 6'1" - 220lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Mesoraco hit a grand slam in Thursday's win over Atlanta.
Impact: It was just the second home run of the year for Mesoraco, who hasn't had the rookie campaign that some predicted, partially due to lack of playing time. Logan Ondrusek - #66 - Pitcher - 6'8" - 228lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ondrusek allowed two hits over a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his second save of the season Thursday.
Impact: Ondrusek presumably got the save chance Thursday because Aroldis Chapman had pitched four of the previous five days. It should be noted that former closer Sean Marshall worked a scoreless eighth, indicating that Ondrusek would be the preferred late-inning choice if anything happened to Chapman. Homer Bailey - #34 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 202lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Bailey pitched six effective innings Thursday to grab the win against Atlanta. He gave up two runs and four hits with six strikeouts.
Impact: Bailey was never in major trouble with the only runs he allowed coming on a two-run homer by Michael Bourn. Bailey has gone at least six innings in seven of nine starts this year, and he's been really solid in his last three, posting a 2-0 record with an ERA of 2.84. Nick Masset - #40 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 238lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Masset (shoulder) threw 30 times from 60 feet Thursday in his first throwing session in a month, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Masset will continue on a fairly daily basis at this level. "I felt about as good as you can for the first day," Masset said. "I hadn't thrown in two months. It's a situation like you're starting to throw again after the offseason - three months off, whatever. You've got to get the rust out. Overall, I felt good. I thought the ball was coming out OK. There was a little something (as far as pain). I knew that there was going to be a little something going into it today. But I think it went well for the first day." Jay Bruce - #32 - Right Field - 6'3" - 226lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Bruce is in the throes of a massive slump, with one hit in his last 27 at-bats.
Impact: This isn't unusual for Bruce - he's had extended slumps and streaks before. Don't be surprised if he gets another day off soon. Todd Frazier - #21 - Third Base - 6'3" - 220lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Frazier hit a walk-off homer in Wednesday's win over the Braves.
Impact: After sitting out Tuesday, Frazier was back in the lineup Wednesday. The homer was his only hit. Chris Heisey - #28 - Left Field - 6'0" - 224lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Heisey is starting in center field and batting second Wednesday, the Reds' official Twitter reports.
Impact: Heisey has been used in a timeshare with Ryan Ludwick but makes the start for Drew Stubbs in center on Thursday. He's likely to bat near the top of the order whenever he's in the Reds' lineup. Drew Stubbs - #6 - Center Field - 6'4" - 200lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Stubbs is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Braves, the Reds' official Twitter reports.
Impact: Stubbs has only had one day off this season, and with the team scheduled to play Thursday, manager Dusty Baker elected to give Chris Heisey the start in center field Wednesday. Bronson Arroyo - #61 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Arroyo pitched 6.2 innings of one-run ball against the Braves on Wednesday night, though he didn't come away with the win in the Reds victory.
Impact: Arroyo struck out five and kept his WHIP just under 1.00 for the game, this moves his full-season stats to a 3.12 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Chapman picked up his fourth win of the season to push his record to 4-0 on the season in Wednesday's win over the Braves.
Impact: Chapman maintained his 0.00 ERA and added two strikeouts to his resume. With the closer role looking like his to lose, only a crazy Dusty Baker move stands between him being a top reliever option for the remainder of the season. Nick Masset - #40 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 238lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Masset (shoulder) is slated to begin a throwing program Thursday, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: The last time Masset threw, a month ago, he had to shut it down after a few tosses. "We've got our fingers crossed that he doesn't feel anything and that it's healed," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "I know he's champing at the bit." Mat Latos - #55 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 225lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
STATS
News: Latos (3-2) gave up five hits,in seven innings to win his third straight decision, 4-3 over Atlanta on Tuesday.
Impact: Latos is 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA in his last six starts. Brandon Phillips - #4 - Second Base - 6'0" - 203lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
STATS
News: Phillips drove in three runs with a pair of homers off Brandon Beachy on Tuesday night, leading Cincinnati to a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves in another game of all-or-nothing that got the Reds second baseman back in the flow.
Impact: He hadn't homered since April 24, an indication something was wrong with his swing. He pulled his left hamstring in the fourth game of the season and had to adjust his stance, standing more upright. Now that the hamstring is healed, he's back into his usual crouch at the plate. Todd Frazier - #21 - Third Base - 6'3" - 220lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Frazier is not in the starting lineup Tuesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact: Miguel Cairo is making a spot start for the Reds, on the heels of a three-game stretch where Frazier went 1-for-13 with six strikeouts. With Scott Rolen in a holding pattern on the DL, Frazier could earn a significant run of playing time at third base if he's able to cut back on his strikeouts in the coming weeks. Ryan Ludwick - #48 - Left Field - 6'3" - 218lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ludwick is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Braves, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: Ludwick, whose 0-for-4 effort Monday dropped his average to .198, takes a seat Tuesday, with Chris Heisey drawing the start against Atlanta's Brandon Beachy. Brandon Phillips - #4 - Second Base - 6'0" - 203lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Phillips homered twice, scoring two runs and notching three RBI on Tuesday against the Braves.
Impact: Phillips was struggling in the power department coming in, with just two home runs and a .356 SLG. Let this serve as a reminder of how quickly things can change even in mid-May -- Phillips's slugging percentage rose 45 points to .403 with the performance. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Chapman recorded his second save of the season Tuesday against Atlanta, working around an error.
Impact: Chapman recorded two more strikeouts and is running a 15.8 K/9 so far this season. One would imagine he'll have a shot at challenging Kenley Jansen's record mark of 16.1 set last season. Chapman is currently getting hitters to swing and miss at just over one in six of his pitches so far, an absurd mark. Mat Latos - #55 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 225lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Latos picked up his third win with a seven-inning, five-hit, two-run performance Tuesday against Atlanta.
Impact: Atlanta has been a hitting machine early in the year, so this is a doubly impressive performance for Latos. He struck out eight against just one walk and lowered his ERA to 4.35 in the process. Mike Leake - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 186lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
STATS
News: Leake earned his first win of the season Monday, allowing one run and two hits in eight innings against Atlanta.
Impact: Leake had gone 0-5 with a 6.21 ERA in his first six starts. Drew Stubbs - #6 - Center Field - 6'4" - 200lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
STATS
News: Stubbs hit two solo homers in Monday's win over Atlanta.
Impact: Stubbs had hit two homers in his previous 26 games combined prior to Monday. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
STATS
News: Chapman is being sued for $18 million by a Cuban-American man imprisoned on the communist island.
Impact: The lawsuit claims that Chapman falsely accused Danilo Curbelo Garcia of involvement in human trafficking, leading to his 2008 arrest and conviction in Cuba. Curbelo Garcia is serving a 10-year sentence. Miguel Cairo - #43 - Third Base - 6'1" - 222lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cairo is starting at third base instead of Todd Frazier on Tuesday night, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: Frazier is in a little bit of a rut, going 1-for-13 with six strikeouts over the last three games. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Chapman was arrested early Monday after he was pulled over for speeding and driving with a suspended license, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: After appearing in games on four of the last five days, Chapman was likely unavailable to pitch Monday night anyway, so Jose Arredondo was given the save chance before giving way to Sean Marshall after issuing a pair of two-out walks. Chapman has a court date scheduled for June 6, but should be available for regular duty Tuesday against the Braves. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
STATS
News: Chapman will get more chances to close games for the Cincinnati Reds. The left-hander picked up his second career save on Sunday by finishing off a 5-2 win over the New York Yankees. The Reds have been looking for someone to take the spot of closer Ryan Madson, out for the season with a torn elbow ligament.
Impact: Manager Dusty Baker wants to see how Chapman adjusts to the pressure and the demands of the role. He hasn't thrown three days in a row, which a closer typically will do. Chapman hasn't allowed an earned run in 22 1-3 innings this season and has struck out 39. Drew Stubbs - #6 - Center Field - 6'4" - 200lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Stubbs went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk Monday against the Braves' Mike Minor.
Impact: Stubbs hadn't hit a home run since May 6 and had only one RBI in his last 13 games, so he desperately needed to have a productive night at the plate. He is still hitting only .244 with five home runs and 13 RBI this season, but he does also have seven stolen bases. Sean Marshall - #51 - Pitcher - 6'7" - 220lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall recorded one out in the ninth inning Monday to earn his eighth save as the Reds defeated the Braves, 4-1.
Impact: Marshall and Jose Arredondo were called upon to close out Monday's game as Aroldis Chapman had pitched four times in the previous five days. With Chapman still yet to allow a run this season and Marshall's recent struggles, look for Chapman to get the team's next save opportunity. Mike Leake - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 186lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Leake earned his first victory of the season Monday as the Reds defeated the Braves, 4-1. He pitched eight innings and allowed one run, two hits and one walk to go along with six strikeouts.
Impact: Monday was easily Leake's best start of the season as he pitched more innings and allowed fewer earned runs than in any of his other starts. He has recorded a quality start in three of his last four outings, so he looks to be turning things around after a rough start to the season. Ryan Ludwick - #48 - Left Field - 6'3" - 218lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
STATS
News: Ludwick went 3 for 5 with a homer and a double and drove in three runs in Sunday's win over the Yankees.
Impact: Ludwick's first three-hit day since Aug. 10 increased his average from .183 to .207. Scott Rolen - #27 - Third Base - 6'4" - 245lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Rolen (shoulder) hasn't been able to swing a bat and has no timetable to resume baseball activities, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: Todd Frazier will continue to see a heavy workload at third base, and there's certainly reason for concern given Rolen's age and injury history as he appears to be far away from returning to the Reds' lineup. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Chapman has officially been named the team's closer by manager Dusty Baker, MLB.com reports.
Impact: The announcement isn't much of a surprise, as Baker insinuated after Saturday's game that Chapman could see some time as closer. He was out there for the save the Sunday, and should remain as closer unless the team elects to move him to the rotation. Chapman's increased save opportunities, along with his high strikeout rate and otherworldly ERA and WHIP numbers, realistically make him among the top closers in baseball at the moment. Sean Marshall - #51 - Pitcher - 6'7" - 220lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall came into the eighth inning Sunday and retired the one batter he faced, striking out Robinson Cano.
Impact: It looks now like the Reds' new order will be Aroldis Chapman in the ninth and Marshall and Logan Ondrusek in the eighth. Johnny Cueto - #47 - Pitcher - 5'10" - 220lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cueto bounced back from his worst outing of the year to hold the Yankees to two runs on eight hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, getting the win when the Reds rallied in the seventh.
Impact: Cueto wasn't at his best, but the circumstances were pretty tough. The Reds got three reasonably good starts in Yankee Stadium over the weekend and took the series. Ryan Hanigan - #29 - Catcher - 6'0" - 207lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hanigan hit his first homer of the season in Sunday's comeback win over CC Sabathia and the Yankees.
Impact: Hanigan doesn't have much power, but his homer Sunday was a no-doubter, and it was on an 0-2 count to tie the game. Ryan Ludwick - #48 - Left Field - 6'3" - 218lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ludwick homered and then hit a two-run double in the ninth inning in Sunday's win over the Yankees.
Impact: It appears that the elbow that kept Ludwick out the last two days is fine. We'll see how that affects the Reds' lineup now that they are going back home and without the DH. Chris Heisey has become a little bit more established in the last 10 days or so, but it's uncertain how much of that is due to Ludwick being hurt. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Contrary to what manager Dusty Baker said before the game, Chapman indeed was used as the closer Sunday against the Yankees, picking up the save in a 5-2 win.
Impact: It appears that Baker either had a change of heart or wanted to use a little subterfuge against the Yankees. This may be a committee of sorts, but Chapman appears to be sitting at the head of the table. He's pitched four of the last five days. Sean Marshall - #51 - Pitcher - 6'7" - 220lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The Reds will use a closer committee for the near term, with Aroldis Chapman being the primary guy when available, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: The move was precipitated by another rough outing for Marshall on Saturday against the Yankees. Chapman will have some restrictions on his availability, however, and when that happens Marshall will be part of the picture, as will Logan Ondrusek and Jose Arredondo. Chapman is not available to pitch Sunday. Logan Ondrusek - #66 - Pitcher - 6'8" - 228lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ondrusek could be part of a closer committee for the Reds, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Aroldis Chapman will be the dominant part of that committee, but he's unavailable to pitch Sunday, having thrown three of the last four days. Chapman might be restricted on back-to-back situations going forward, so Ondrusek, Sean Marshall and Jose Arredondo are all part of the picture. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The Reds will now use a closer-by-committee, with Chapman part of the mix, but Chapman isn't available to pitch Sunday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: If there's a save situation Sunday, the closer will be determined by matchups. "I don't know," manager Dusty Baker said. "It depends. If it's predominantly left-handed, it will be Marshall. I've got to stay away from Chapman. He's gone three out of four days. (Jose) Arredondo is four of five. It depends on where we are in their lineup." Chris Heisey - #28 - Left Field - 6'0" - 224lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Heisey has remained atop the Reds' order even with Zack Cozart returning back to the lineup, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: The Reds haven't found a leadoff hitter all season, so this might continue even after interleague play. Ryan Ludwick - #48 - Left Field - 6'3" - 218lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ludwick is back in Sunday's lineup against the Yankees, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: Ludwick, who took a pitch on the elbow Thursday, returns to the Reds' lineup Sunday as the team's DH, which sends Mike Costanzo back to the bench after handling that assignment Saturday. Zack Cozart - #2 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 196lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cozart is back in Sunday's lineup against the Yankees, the Reds' official site reports. However, he's batting ninth rather than his customary spot at the top of the order.
Impact: Cozart, whose current 0-for-9 skid has dropped his average to .230, returns to the Reds' lineup after giving way to Wilson Valdez on Saturday. Bill Bray - #45 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 226lbs
Sun. May 20, 2012 |
STATS
News: The Reds have put Bray on the 15-day disabled list with a strained groin that has bothered him since spring training.
Impact: The move on Tuesday is retroactive to April 19. Bray gave up four hits and three runs during an 11-1 loss to St. Louis on April 18. The Reds already were missing closer Ryan Madson, out for the season with a torn elbow ligament. Drew Stubbs - #6 - Center Field - 6'4" - 200lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Stubbs showed good plate discipline Saturday, yielding two walks, both of which resulted in runs.
Impact: Alas, Stubbs still struck out twice, and his OBP stands at a horrid .282. He did manage to steal a base, but his propensity for strikeouts makes him somewhat unreliable in spite of his considerable athleticism. Stubbs should only be owned if you can afford to take the hit in batting average he's guaranteed to give you. Homer Bailey - #34 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 202lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Bailey turned in a solid start on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk in 6.1 innings, striking out seven.
Impact: Bailey's start was a significant improvement from a recent outing at Milwaukee, where he lasted just 3.2 innings, giving up six runs. Bailey has a 4.34 ERA and 1.45 WHIP on the year to go along with 34 strikeouts. Brandon Phillips - #4 - Second Base - 6'0" - 203lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Phillips knocked in the first run of the game for the Reds in a 6-5 win over the Yankees.
Impact: Phillips was 2-for-4 on the day and also added a run. Joey Votto is getting on-base in almost half of his at-bats this season, which should aid Phillips' RBI totals, as he's currently batting cleanup in the Reds' lineup. Joey Votto - #19 - First Base - 6'3" - 221lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Votto went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI Saturday against the Yankees.
Impact: Votto has been on an absolute tear this week, hitting three homers against the Nationals on Sunday and adding another on Thursday against the Mets. His slash line now stands at .308/.456/.594, and he has even nabbed two bases. Sean Marshall - #51 - Pitcher - 6'7" - 220lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall surrendered four hits and two runs in a save situation before being pulled in favor of Jose Arredondo.
Impact: Marshall appears to be on the way out as closer, especially after comments by manager Dusty Baker on Saturday that he's warmed up to the idea of using Aroldis Chapman as closer. With an ERA that now stands at 5.02 compared to Chapman's perfect 0.00, it's hard to justify using Marshall exclusively in the role. Jose Arredondo - #33 - Pitcher - 6'0" - 175lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Arredondo worked out of a ninth-inning jam to close out the Yankees and record his first save of the season.
Impact: Arredondo induced two groundouts to finish off the game almost given away by Sean Marshall, who surrendered four hits and two runs before being replaced. Although not official, Marshall seems headed out of the closer's role, but manager Dusty Baker seems more inclined to use Aroldis Chapman in that role than Arredondo going forward. Scott Rolen - #27 - Third Base - 6'4" - 245lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Rolen (shoulder) has no clear timetable for his return, and there is growing uncertainty in the Reds' organization that he may not return this season, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports.
Impact: Rolen is in the final season of a two-year contract and will be 38 years old in 2013, fueling speculation that the end may be near. He's certainly not a part of the Reds' long-term plans, and the team may be better off seeing if Todd Frazier can stick with the big league club. Sean Marshall - #51 - Pitcher - 6'7" - 220lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Marshall could be in danger of losing the closer's role in light of Dusty Baker's recent comments regarding the possibility of Aroldis Chapman closing games.
Impact: Nothing is definite yet, but Marshall is mediocre and Chapman looks dominant. If Chapman takes over the job, Marshall should be immediately dropped in nearly all leagues that don't count holds as a statistic. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Manager Dusty Baker seemingly hinted at using Chapman as the Reds' closer, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Baker said, "He was going to be in rotation. We came up with Plan B, maybe it's time to think about Plan C." Nothing has been decided yet, but apparently Baker and Chapman discussed the possibility. This would obviously be great news for his fantasy owners, although his ceiling may be higher in the starting rotation since it would mean more innings. Miguel Cairo - #43 - Third Base - 6'1" - 222lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cairo drew a surprise start at DH against the Yankees on Friday, going 0-for-3 in the Reds' loss.
Impact: The Reds suggested that Ryan Ludwick would start 2-of-3 games as the DH, so it's possible this is the one that Dusty Baker imagined he wouldn't start. Cairo has been used sparingly since coming off the DL. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Chapman has been sued in federal court in Florida, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. The complaint alleges that Chapman conspired with the Cuban government to help arrest another Cuban man living in Florida back before Chapman had defected.
Impact: Neither the Reds nor Chapman have commented on the lawsuit. Bill Bray - #45 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 226lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Bray, already on the DL for his groin injury, experienced back problems while on his rehab assignment, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: Bray will be shut down until the back injury subsides. "We're trying to get him through that," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said. "His mechanics got out of whack because of the [groin] injury. Now he's having problems with his lower back." Ryan Ludwick - #48 - Left Field - 6'3" - 218lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ludwick is out of the lineup Saturday with a bruised elbow, the result of a hit by pitch by the Mets' R.A. Dickey on Thursday, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: Ludwick was originally scheduled to be the DH two of three days in this series against the Yankees. Instead, Miguel Cairo got the nod Friday and Mike Costanzo is the DH on Saturday. Zack Cozart - #2 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 196lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cozart is out of the lineup Saturday, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports.
Impact: Cozart is in a 1-for-27 slump, and manager Dusty Baker said Friday he was considered giving Cozart a day off. He followed through with that, Cozart is on the bench Saturday. Hopefully, a day off is what he needs to break out of his skid. Wilson Valdez will start at shortstop. Zack Cozart - #2 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 196lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Reds manager Dusty Baker said he's considering giving Cozart the day off Saturday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Cozart didn't do much to dissuade Baker's intentions, going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Friday night. Bronson Arroyo - #61 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Arroyo gave up four runs on nine hits and a walk over 7.2 innings in Friday's loss to the Yankees.
Impact: Arroyo was down just 1-0 heading into the eighth, but tired and gave up homers to Robinson Cano and Raul Ibanez to put the game out of reach. Ryan Ludwick - #48 - Left Field - 6'3" - 218lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ludwick will be used as the Reds' DH in at least two of the three games against the Yankees this weekend, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Chris Heisey has been the more productive hitter in left field than Ludwick lately, but Ludwick got the start nonetheless Thursday, going 1-for-3 with a run scored. Logan Ondrusek - #66 - Pitcher - 6'8" - 228lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ondrusek blew up Thursday against the Mets, giving up five runs on four hits (including a homer) and a walk in an inning.
Impact: Ondrusek was squeezed on a couple of close calls, but he also gave up a couple hard shots, including the go-ahead double by David Wright and a finishing three-run homer by Ronny Cedeno. He hadn't allowed a run all season before Thursday, so chalk this one up as an anomaly. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Chapman allowed his first run of the season Thursday against the Mets, a game-tying unearned run in the seventh inning.
Impact: Chapman was felled by a dropped fly ball to center field by Drew Stubbs - it was a sliding attempt that wasn't easy, but should have been caught. He had problems with his control, not being able to throw his slider for a strike. Chapman was forced to throw his fastball almost exclusively later in the inning. He threw 35 pitches Thursday and pitched on Wednesday, too, so it's highly unlikely he'll be available Friday against the Yankees. Mat Latos - #55 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 225lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Latos lasted just five-plus innings Thursday against the Mets, giving up three runs on seven hits and three walks. He struck out seven, threw 100 pitches and left with two runners on and no outs in the sixth inning.
Impact: Latos didn't lose the game for the Reds -- in fact, he left the game with a 4-2 lead, and saw one of his inherited runners score after he left. But he again wasn't able to work deep into the game, taxing the bullpen more than the Reds would like. Todd Frazier - #21 - Third Base - 6'3" - 220lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
STATS
News: Frazier homered twice and drove in three runs in Wednesday's win over the New York Mets.
Impact: Wednesday marked Frazier's first career multi-homer game while tying his career high of three RBIs set two previous times. Devin Mesoraco - #39 - Catcher - 6'1" - 220lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Mesoraco is not in the lineup Thursday against the Mets, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Mesoraco has received the lesser end of what has been a relatively even timeshare at catcher with Ryan Hanigan. Mesoraco has flashed more power than Hanigan, but hasn't gotten on base as consistently. Ryan Hanigan - #29 - Catcher - 6'0" - 207lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hanigan will make the start behind the plate Thursday against the Mets, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Hanigan has received a larger share of the Reds at-bats at catcher, but not by very much. While the team would ideally like to give the catching duties to Devin Mesoraco, Hanigan is making that difficult by batting .311 and playing better defensively than Mesoraco. Devin Mesoraco - #39 - Catcher - 6'1" - 220lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Mesoraco will catch and bat eighth against the Mets on Wednesday, the Reds' official Twitter page reports.
Impact: The 23-year-old is 1-for-17 in May and is batting just .213 on the year. However, his place in the catching timeshare with Ryan Hanigan looks safe for now. Ryan Hanigan - #29 - Catcher - 6'0" - 207lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hanigan is not in Wednesday's starting lineup, the Reds' official Twitter page reports.
Impact: Hanigan has caught three of the team's last four games, so Devin Mesoraco will take his turn behind the plate and catch right-hander Mike Leake. Mike Leake - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 186lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Leake gave up three runs (one earned) over six innings against the Mets, getting no decision. He gave up seven hits and two walks, striking out five.
Impact: This was Leake's best start of the season, and it couldn't have come at a better time for him. He also helped himself at the plate, going 2-for-2 with a sacrifice bunt and a run scored. At the very least, this effort should ensure that Leake gets another start. Todd Frazier - #21 - Third Base - 6'3" - 220lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Frazier homered twice in Wednesday's win over the Mets.
Impact: Frazier had slumped some since Scott Rolen went on the DL before Wednesday's game, going 2-for-15 with seven strikeouts. But that's a pretty small sample to draw conclusions from, as Wednesday's outburst indicated. Ryan Hanigan - #29 - Catcher - 6'0" - 207lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
STATS
News: Hanigan had two hits Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to the Braves.
Impact: Hanigan is 10 for 25 in his last seven games. Chris Heisey - #28 - Left Field - 6'0" - 224lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
STATS
News: Heisey had three hits Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to the Braves.
Impact: Heisey sizzled by going 6 for 7 in the two-game set. Johnny Cueto - #47 - Pitcher - 5'10" - 220lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
STATS
News: Cueto gave up six runs, five earned, on eight hits in four innings Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to the Braves.
Impact: Cueto led the major leagues with his 1.12 ERA before this outing. He had allowed only one earned run over 23 innings in his last three starts. Jay Bruce - #32 - Right Field - 6'3" - 226lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Bruce is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, the Reds' official site reports. The Reds are facing lefty Johan Santana, plus they are in a stretch of 20 games in 20 days.
Impact: With Bruce out, Chris Heisey moves over from left field to right field, with Ryan Ludwick getting his first start in four days in left field. Johnny Cueto - #47 - Pitcher - 5'10" - 220lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cueto had his worst start of the season Tuesday against the Braves, allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits over four innings.
Impact: Cueto didn't really have anything working and he allowed a ton of contact, but even with the disaster his ERA sits at 1.89. If anything, this start might say more about the Braves, who are averaging 5.3 runs per game this season and somewhat surprisingly have one of the most dangerous offenses in the NL. Bronson Arroyo - #61 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Arroyo gave up 11 hits over five innings Sunday against the Nats, giving up four runs, but escaped with a no-decision. Though he walked just one batter, Arroyo said that his command was off, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Sunday's start was delayed for over three hours, which might have been a factor in his performance. "I didn't feel super good today," Arroyo said. "I just couldn't have a quick inning. It's a little tougher out there when it's soggy and the clay is building up in your spikes, and you're throwing more max effort pitches. It takes a toll." Zack Cozart - #2 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 196lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cozart is back in Monday's lineup, the Reds' official site reports.
Impact: Cozart returns the Reds' lineup Monday, after giving way to Wilson Valdez on Sunday. Joey Votto - #19 - First Base - 6'3" - 221lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Votto had a monster game Sunday, hitting three home runs - including a walk-off grand slam - as the Reds topped the Nationals 9-6.
Impact: Votto finished the day 4-for-5 with a double, six RBI and four runs scored. The Reds hope the 2010 MVP can stay hot against the Braves on Monday. While the power was late to arrive for Votto, he still has been getting on base at a prolific rate (.454 before Sunday's outburst). Big days were bound to happen, even if they weren't expected to be this big. Devin Mesoraco - #39 - Catcher - 6'1" - 220lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The Reds are 2-11 with a 4.94 ERA when Mesoraco starts, compared to 14-5 and a 2.25 team ERA when Ryan Hanigan starts, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Such a measure is a little misleading, in that Hanigan has caught both Johnny Cueto and Bronson Arroyo exclusively, whereas Mesoraco has all of Mike Leake's starts on his resume. But this set of results isn't going to change the current 60-40 playing time ratio between Hanigan and Mesoraco. Todd Frazier - #21 - Third Base - 6'3" - 220lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Frazier will get an extended look at third base with Scott Rolen on the DL, but it's not locked in, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "That depends on Frazier," Reds manager Dusty Baker said Sunday. "It could be (Miguel) Cairo. I've got an idea what guys' strengths and weaknesses are...We'll see. It's up to Frazier."
Impact: Not only is Cairo a threat, but so is newly-called-up Mike Costanzo. Frazier has hit well so far, but as usual his job isn't secure. Mike Leake - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 186lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: For now, Leake is still scheduled to make his next start, Wednesday against the Mets, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: The commitment to Leake isn't that strong, however. Talking about Leake's status in the rotation, manager Dusty Baker said: "We haven't covered that yet. I'd like to think so. ... As of right now, the answer is yes." Jose Arredondo - #33 - Pitcher - 6'0" - 175lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Arredondo gave up a solo homer to Danny Espinosa on Saturday to get the loss. It's the second homer allowed for Arredondo in his last three outings, and comes on the heels of a two-inning outing the day before.
Impact: Unfortunately, with Mike Leake pitching just three innings Friday and Mat Latos going only five innings Saturday, the Reds had little choice but to go back to Arredondo on Saturday. He still struck out the side beyond the homer, and now has 20 strikeouts in 16.2 innings this year. Aroldis Chapman - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Chapman struck out four batters in his two innings of relief Saturday against the Nats.
Impact: He remains unscored upon in 17.2 innings this year, but therein lies the problem - he's only thrown 17.2 innings six weeks into the season. Many of those have been high-leverage appearances, but it's still too few for the Reds' best reliever this season. Zack Cozart - #2 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 196lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cozart is getting a day off Sunday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact: Wilson Valdez is getting the start and batting eighth with Cozart out. Ryan Ludwick - #48 - Left Field - 6'3" - 218lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Ludwick is not in Sunday's lineup against the Nationals, according to the Reds' official Twitter page.
Impact: Ludwick, who is 2-for-7 in the Reds' current series against the Nats, will sit Sunday, with the team going with an outfield of Drew Stubbs, Jay Bruce and Chris Heisey. Mat Latos - #55 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 225lbs
Sat. May 12, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Latos held the Nationals to one run on three hits in five innings Saturday, but he did not factor into the decision.
Impact: A whopping five walks in this one helped run Latos' pitch count up to 109, and thus he was unable to hang around to preserve the tie (and potentially the win). He has recorded an out in the seventh just twice in seven starts this season. Jay Bruce - #32 - Right Field - 6'3" - 226lbs
Sat. May 12, 2012 |
STATS
News: Bruce had two hits Friday in a 7-3 loss to the Nats.
Impact: Bruce is now 3 for 20 this year against Washington. Brandon Phillips - #4 - Second Base - 6'0" - 203lbs
Sat. May 12, 2012 |
STATS
News: Phillips had two hits Friday in a 7-3 loss to the Nats.
Impact: Phillips is 8 for 16 over his last four games. Mike Leake - #44 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 186lbs
Sat. May 12, 2012 |
STATS
News: Leake is now 0-5 after he lasted a career-low three innings Friday in a 7-3 loss to the Nats.
Impact: Leake gave up seven hits and six runs, including two homers. It's the second time Leake has failed to last four innings this season. "I'm just not getting the job done,'' said Leake, who has a 7.11 ERA. Homer Bailey - #34 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 202lbs
Thu. May 10, 2012 |
STATS
News: Burnett failed to make it through the fourth in a loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.
Impact: He gave up six runs and six hits in 3 2-3 innings. He fell to 1-3 with a 4.93 ERA. Jay Bruce - #32 - Right Field - 6'3" - 226lbs
Thu. May 10, 2012 |
STATS
News: Bruce hit his 10th homer of the season Tuesday in a loss to the Brewers.
Impact: Bruce drove in a pair of runs. He's homered in seven of the last 11 games entering Wednesday. Bronson Arroyo - #61 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 196lbs
Tue. May 8, 2012 |
STATS
News: Arroyo pitched solidly into the seventh inning in Monday's 6-1 win over the Brew Crew.
Impact: The right-hander was tough , giving up six hits and a walk with nine strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings. Jay Bruce - #32 - Right Field - 6'3" - 226lbs
Tue. May 8, 2012 |
STATS
News: Bruce hit a three-run home run to cap a five-run fourth, leading the Reds to a 6-1 victory over the Brewers on Monday night.
Impact: Bruce's ninth home run extended his hitting streak to 10 games. He's hitting .405 over the run with six home runs and 12 RBIs. Ryan Hanigan - #29 - Catcher - 6'0" - 207lbs
Tue. May 8, 2012 |
STATS
News: Hanigan had two hits in a 6-1 victory over the Brewers on Monday night.
Impact: Hanigan is hitting .300 for Cincy. Brandon Phillips - #4 - Second Base - 6'0" - 203lbs
Tue. May 8, 2012 |
STATS
News: Phillips had two hits in a 6-1 victory over the Brewers on Monday night.
Impact: Phillips entered in a 2-for-24 slump. Miguel Cairo - #43 - Third Base - 6'1" - 222lbs
Tue. May 8, 2012 |
STATS
News: Cairo, on the disabled list since April 17 with a strained left hamstring, is expected to start a minor league rehab assignment this week.
Impact: Cairo hurt his left hamstring during a loss at Washington on Saturday. He's eligible to be reinstated on April 30. Cairo appeared in four games, going 1 for 9 with an RBI. |
