Reds' Hunter Greene: Extends scoreless innings streak
Greene (2-1) earned the win against the Pirates on Sunday. He allowed two hits and one walk while striking out eight across seven scoreless innings.
Greene got off to a bit of a rocky start after allowing a double and a walk in the first inning, but he was able to escape the frame without allowing a run. He yielded one more hit in the second inning, but he proceeded to retire the next 17 batters faced and extended his scoreless streak to 18.2 innings in the process. Greene generated 18 first-pitch strikes and 16 whiffs across 98 pitches (71 strikes), and the 25-year-old right-hander has started the season with a 0.98 ERA and 0.58 WHIP across 27.2 innings, with his 31 strikeouts ranking second in the National League behind MacKenzie Gore (32). Greene is tentatively slated to face the Orioles on the road next weekend, when he'll look to earn his third straight win.

Reds' Jose Trevino: Resting Sunday
Trevino is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Pirates on Sunday.
Trevino went 1-for-6 with one RBI over the first two games of the series. He'll be rested for the series finale as Austin Wynns serves behind home plate and bats ninth against Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski.

Reds' Blake Dunn: Out of lineup
Dunn is not in Cincinnati's starting lineup against Pittsburgh on Sunday.
Dunn will sit for the series finale after going 0-for-4 with two walks, two runs scored and three strikeouts in the last two games. Gavin Lux, TJ Friedl and Jake Fraley will man the outfield Sunday.

Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Out of lineup again
Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates, with manager Terry Francona noting that the first baseman is "banged up" due to back and hamstring issues, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Encarnacion-Strand will miss out on a start for the second day in a row due to the pair of injury concerns, both of which he contended with at points during the 2023 season. However, Francona said he expects Encarnacion-Strand to be available off the bench Sunday, so the Reds don't appear to be too concerned about the 25-year-old potentially needing a stint on the shelf.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Singles, scores in win
Marte started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a single and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.
Marte made his first start since being called up earlier this week. He singled in the seventh inning and scored the Reds' final run. It's unclear what Cincinnati manager Terry Francona has planned for Marte in terms of playing time, as there's a crowd at third base with Jeimer Candelario and Gavin Lux also in the mix.

Reds' Sal Stewart: Monster start at Double-A
Stewart went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader for Double-A Chattanooga.
Stewart bailed out the Lookouts, who were down to their final out before the 21-year-old hit a walk-off grand slam. He's handling his introduction to Double-A pitching with aplomb, going 11-for-28 (.393) with two home runs, four doubles, six RBI, four steals and eight runs through seven games.

Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Launches grand slam in win
De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.
De La Cruz put the Reds in front for good in the third inning with his two-out grand slam off Andrew Heaney on a 3-2 pitch. It's the third home run of the year for De La Cruz, his first since he homered twice against the Rangers on March 31. Overall, the shortstop is slashing .237/.286/.441 with 16 RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases through his first 15 games this season.

Reds' Emilio Pagan: Notches fourth save
Pagan turned in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Pirates.
Pagan now has saves in back-to-back days as he's established himself as the Reds' preferred ninth-inning option in the absence of Alexis Diaz (hamstring). The 33-year-old Pagan is now 4-for-4 in save chances while allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits through 7.1 innings to start the year.

Reds' Andrew Abbott: Earns win in season debut
Abbott (1-0) earned the win Saturday over the Pirates, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
A rotator cuff strain delayed the start of Abbott's season, though the left-hander certainly appeared healthy Saturday, turning in a stellar effort against Pittsburgh. He held the Pirates to a lone single through four innings before Alexander Canario led off the fifth with a home run, the lone blemish on Abbott's line. The 25-year-old Abbott went 10-10 last season with a 3.72 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 114:52 K:BB across 138 innings. He's currently slated to face the Orioles on the road in his next start.

Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Resting Saturday
Encarnacion-Strand is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Pirates on Saturday.
Encarnacion-Strand will get a rest day after going 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over his last two games. Noelvi Marte will make his first start of 2025 at third base while Jeimer Candelario shifts to first base.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Making first start of 2025
Marte is starting at third base and batting sixth against Pittsburgh on Saturday.
With Christian Encarnacion-Strand getting the day off, Jeimer Candelario will shift over to first base while Marte makes his first start of the 2025 campaign at the hot corner. Marte was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday to fill the spot on the Reds' 26-man roster vacated by Matt McLain (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Marte was slashing .353/.425/.529 with three stolen bases, six runs scored and five RBI across 40 plate appearances in Triple-A before being recalled by the big club.

Reds' Andrew Abbott: Activated off IL
The Reds activated Abbott (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.
Abbott began the season on the injured list due to a rotator cuff strain in his left shoulder that put an early end to his 2024 campaign. He made two rehab starts with Triple-A Louisville and has progressed enough in his throwing program to make his 2025 regular-season debut Saturday against the Pirates. Will Benson was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Abbott on the 26-man roster.

Reds' Will Benson: Back to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Benson to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Benson was recalled by the Reds on Tuesday and started in left field against the Giants on Wednesday, when he struck out in all four at-bats. Benson will return to Triple-A as Cincinnati activates Andrew Abbott (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Reds' Graham Ashcraft: Earns multi-inning hold
Ashcraft allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over two scoreless relief innings to earn a hold in Friday's 5-3 win over Pittsburgh.
Ashcraft provided the bridge in the seventh and eighth innings, setting up Emilio Pagan for the save and picking up his second straight multi-inning hold. Ashcraft has not allowed a run over six appearances (7.1 innings) this season. Reds manager Terry Francona has leaned on Pagan as the team's closer, as the manager navigates endgame situations without Alexis Diaz (hamstring). However, Ashcraft's move from starter to reliever has been a success thus far and could eventually earn him save chances.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Logs first homer
Candelario started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 win over the Pirates.
The Reds' first three batters walked to open the bottom of the first inning, setting up a possible big inning, but a run-scoring double-play had the potential to limit the damage. That's when Candelario picked up his mates with his first home run of the season. He entered the game with just four hits in his previous 40 at-bats before delivering those two-out RBI. Candelario's slump has not cost him too much playing time, but that could change next week when left fielder Austin Hays (calf) is due back. Hays' return will free up Gavin Lux to potentially move from the outfield to third base.

Reds' Austin Hays: Kicks off rehab assignment
Hays (calf) started in left field and went 0-for-2 with an RBI in a rehab game for Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Hays began a rehab assignment and played seven innings in the field. He had been scheduled to begin the assignment Thursday, but the game was rained out. Hays will appear in three of the four games in this series against Indianapolis. After playing the field Friday, he'll serve as the DH in one half of Saturday's doubleheader, but then back to the field Sunday. Presumably, that activity will be enough for Hays to be activated and play Tuesday at home against Seattle.
