Reds' Austin Hays: Beginning rehab assignment
Hays (calf) has reported to Triple-A Louisville and will begin a rehab assignment Thursday.
Hays likely won't need much time to get back up to full speed after suffering a low-grade left calf strain at the tail end of spring training, but he could end up sticking around in Louisville through the weekend to pick up some at-bats before being activated from the 10-day injured list. With Gavin Lux having recently taken over as the Reds' primary second baseman in the wake of Matt McLain (hamstring) landing on the IL, Hays could have a near-everyday role in left field waiting for him once he's cleared to rejoin Cincinnati.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Debuts as pinch runner
Marte entered Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Giants as a pinch runner and finished up the game at third base. He did not get a plate appearance.
Marte made his season debut after being called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. He entered for Santiago Espinal, who got the start at third base. Jeimer Candelario had been the default option at the hot corner early this season, but a lingering slump may cost him playing time. Marte, who had a .954 OPS over 40 plate appearances at Louisville, should eventually work into the rotation at third base.

Reds' Will Benson: Makes first start after call-up
Benson started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to San Francisco.
Benson struck out swinging four times -- three whiffs and one foul tip -- in his season debut after being called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. He swung the bat well for the Bats, but Wednesday's effort was reminder of his struggles in 2024, when Benson struck out 39.7 percent of the time against major-league pitching.

Reds' Elly De La Cruz: First multi-hit effort of April
De La Cruz went 2-for-5 with two RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to the Giants.
De La Cruz's highlight of the day came on a two-run double to put the Reds in front 3-0 in the third inning. Wednesday marked the first multi-hit effort of the month for the dynamic infielder, who is slashing just .250/.291/.423 with two homers and three doubles over 55 plate appearances but has already piled up 12 RBI, eight runs scored and two stolen bases in 13 outings.

Reds' Emilio Pagan: Saddled with loss against Giants
Pagan (0-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Giants after giving up a two-run home run in the 10th inning.
Pagan came on to pitch the 10th inning in a 6-6 game, promptly allowing a two-run home run to Mike Yastrzemski after just two pitches as the Giants walked it off. The journeyman right-hander still holds a sharp 1.69 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 3:1 K:BB with two saves over 5.1 innings this season, and he should continue sharing ninth-inning work alongside Tony Santillan as long as Alexis Diaz (hamstring) remains on the injured list.

Reds' Tony Santillan: Charged with blown save Wednesday
Santillan blew the save after giving up one run on one hit and no walks in 1.1 innings during Wednesday's 8-6 extra-inning loss to the Giants.
After recording two outs to close the seventh inning, Santillan served up a first-pitch fastball for a game-tying solo home run to Wilmer Flores. Santillan is working alongside Emilio Pagan for save opportunities in the absence of Alexis Diaz (hamstring), and the former has logged three holds while converting one of his two save chances to open the campaign. That said, Santillan does boast a 1.23 ERA and 0.68 WHIP with seven punchouts across 7.1 innings, and he should remain in the mix for ninth-inning work until Diaz rejoins the team.

Reds' Nick Martinez: No-decision despite early lead
Martinez didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Giants after allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.
Martinez began the outing by throwing three scoreless innings and was staked to an early 5-0 lead, but he struggled mightily in the sixth frame. After giving up a Jung Hoo Lee RBI triple in the fourth inning, Martinez yielded a run on a wild pitch and was then knocked around for three more runs in the sixth before being lifted for Taylor Rogers. The 34-year-old right-hander has a 6.06 ERA through 16.1 innings thus far, but Martinez does hold a more encouraging 1.22 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB over his first three starts.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Exits starting nine
Trevino is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in San Francisco.
Trevino started each of the first two games of the series but will grab a seat for Wednesday's finale. Austin Wynns will do the catching and bat ninth for the Reds.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Sitting amidst slump
Candelario is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in San Francisco.
Candelario is hitless over his last four games and is batting just .140 on the season, so he will get a day off to regroup. Santiago Espinal will cover third base and bat second for the Reds on Wednesday.

Reds' Emilio Pagan: Racks up second save
Pagan worked a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his second save of the season in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Giants.
The veteran righty needed only seven pitches (six strikes) to get the job done. Pagan hasn't been a full-time closer since 2019, when he collected 20 saves for the Rays. but he's getting a chance to handle that job while Alexis Diaz (hamstring) gets healthy and tries to get his mechanics back in sync. Through his first five appearances this season, Pagan has a 0.00 ERA and 3:1 K:BB and has allowed only one hit. Tony Santillan, who recorded the final out of Monday's combined shutout after Hunter Greene fired 8.2 innings, has the only other save so far in 2025 for Cincinnati.

Reds' Nick Lodolo: Blanks Giants for second win
Lodolo (2-1) picked up the win Tuesday, scattering three hits and a walk over six scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Giants. He struck out three.
The southpaw delivered his third straight quality start to begin the season, and Lodolo has gone 15.2 straight innings without allowing an earned run. He's not posting his usual strikeout numbers, however, sporting an 8:1 K:BB through 18.2 frames to go along with his 0.96 ERA and 0.70 WHIP. Lodolo will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Mariners.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Hitless stretch continues
Candelario started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Giants.
Candelario's stretch of futility reached 15 at-bats without a hit, and his average dropped to .140. His main competitor for playing time at third base, Gavin Lux, moved to second base to cover for Matt McLain (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. That seemingly benefits Candelario; however, along with the McLain transaction, the Reds recalled third baseman Noelvi Marte from Triple-A Louisville, and he could eat into Candelario's opportunities.

Reds' Blake Dunn: Starts in left field
Dunn started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 win over San Francisco.
Dunn served in left field, as Gavin Lux moved to second base after the Reds placed Matt McLain (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. Lux, who had been filling in for the injured Austin Hays (calf) in left field, is now covering for another injured teammate. Hays is expected to return at some point during Cincinnati's homestand, which begins Friday and runs to the following Thursday. As part of Tuesday's roster moves, the Reds also recalled outfielder Will Benson, a left-handed bat that could also see time in left field.

Reds' Gavin Lux: Lines up at second base again
Lux started at second base for a second straight game and went 2-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Giants.
Lux filled in at second base for Matt McLain, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a hamstring injury that has kept him out of the lineup since last Thursday. Lux had been starting in left field in place of the injured Austin Hays (calf), who is nearing a return.

Reds' Jake Fraley: Good to go Tuesday
Fraley (side) is starting in right field and batting eighth Tuesday against the Giants.
The 29-year-old was scratched from Monday's starting nine due to left side pain but is back in the lineup for Tuesday's contest. Fraley has yet to get on track at the plate this season and has gone 4-for-27 with one double through eight games.

Reds' Will Benson: Joining big-league club
The Reds recalled Benson from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old missed out on Cincinnati's Opening Day roster but will join the active roster with Carson Spiers being demoted and Matt McLain (hamstring) heading to the injured list. Benson had a .650 OPS in 128 games last season and will likely operate as a reserve outfielder.
