Noelvi Marte - Sitting Sunday with broken nose Marte, who is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, was diagnosed with a broken nose, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The 21-year-old was struck in the face while playing catch ahead of Saturday's contest and cleared the concussion protocol, but he's still managing a fractured nose. Marte wasn't placed on the injured list amid a flurry of transactions by the Reds on Sunday, so he may not require a trip to the shelf. He could play soon depending on his pain tolerance and comfort level.

Hunter Greene - Activated for Sunday's start Green (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list and is starting Sunday against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The 24-year-old has been unavailable since shortly after his previous start Aug. 30, but he'll rejoin Cincinnati's rotation Sunday versus the Cardinals. Greene has a 4.75 ERA in 17 starts this season but will look to build on his last outing, during which he limited San Francisco to three hits and a walk over 5.1 scoreless frames.

Joey Votto - Activated, starting Sunday Votto (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at first base Sunday versus the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirerreports.
Impact Votto made two appearances on his minor-league rehab assignment and will rejoin Cincinnati's lineup after going 2-for-6 with a double and two RBI with Triple-A Louisville. The veteran first baseman should see plenty of playing time down the stretch, though he could receive regular off days in Cincinnati's crowded and talented infield.

Jonathan India - Reinstated early, starting Sunday India (foot) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at second base Sunday against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The 26-year-old was previously expected to make his return from the injured list Tuesday in Detroit after starting a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Friday, but he'll instead rejoin Cincinnati for Sunday's series finale versus St. Louis. India has been sidelined since late July with plantar fasciitis but should operate as the Reds' primary second baseman down the stretch.

Reds host the Cardinals on home losing streak
The Cincinnati Reds aim to break their three-game home losing streak with a win over the St. Louis CardinalsSEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Carson Spiers - Struggles in short start Spiers (0-1) took the loss against St. Louis on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one batter over three-plus innings.
Impact Spiers got his second big-league start after tossing four innings against the Cubs last Sunday, but he wasn't able to impress in the opportunity. The right-hander was handed a 3-1 lead through two frames but allowed the Cardinals to draw even on a two-run homer by Willson Contreras in the third. Spiers was allowed to return for the fourth, but he was pulled after giving up an inning-opening single to Tommy Edman. The rookie hurler was hurt by his wildness -- he walked three batters, and two of those came around to score. Spiers has given up seven runs on 10 hits while posting an 8:5 K:BB over seven frames across his two outings. With the Reds fighting for a playoff spot and likely welcoming a trio of starters (Hunter Greene, Brandon Williamson and Ben Lively) who have been on the COVID-19 IL back soon, Spiers may be headed back to the minors in short order.

Noelvi Marte - Avoids concussion, is day-to-day Marte (face) has avoided a concussion and is considered day-to-day, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Marte was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against the Cardinals after being hit in the face with a ball during pregame. He was treated for a cut and a bruise. He did not require any stitches, though, and precautionary concussion testing came back clean. "There's a chance he's back pretty soon," Reds manager David Bell said after Saturday's loss to St. Louis. Cincinnati is off Monday, so it's possible they'll hold Marte out until Tuesday just to be safe. It sounds like he's going to be fine, though.

Reds' Marte removed with facial cut after hit by teammate De La Cruz's warmup throw
Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte sustained a facial cut when hit on the face with a throw by shortstop Elly De La Cruz when the rookies were tossing before a game against St. LouisSEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Noelvi Marte - Scratched from lineup Marte was scratched from Cincinnati's lineup ahead of Saturday's game against St. Louis, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Marte was playing catch with Elly De La Cruz before the game and got hit in the face by a throw when he wasn't paying attention. Spencer Steer will move to third base in Marte's absence, and Alejo Lopez will cover second base Saturday.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Young - Moves to COVID-19 IL The Reds transferred Young (hamstring) to the COVID-19 injured list Saturday (retroactive to Friday).
Impact Young has been on the injured list since late August with left hamstring tightness, and he threw a scoreless inning in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. However, Young's move to the COVID-19 list will ensure he remains out at least through Friday.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alejo Lopez - Joins major-league squad The Reds added Lopez to the active roster as Stuart Fairchild's (illness) replacement Saturday.
Impact With Fairchild headed for the COVID-19 injured list, Lopez will fill in as a depth piece for the Reds while Fairchild is out. Lopez is slashing .279/.386/.396 across 497 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, and he is unlikely to see many opportunities while with Cincinnati.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Stuart Fairchild - Placed on COVID-19 IL The Reds placed Fairchild on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday.
Impact The Reds' COVID-19 outbreak has primarily affected the team's pitchers up to this point, but now Fairchild will be held out at least seven days as he fights off his infection. Alejo Lopez was brought up from Triple-A Louisville as a replacement player for Fairchild.

Jake Fraley - Not starting against lefty Fraley isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday against the Cardinals.
Impact Lefty Zack Thompson will start Saturday's game for the Cards, so the lefty-hitting Fraley will stay put in the dugout. Nick Senzel, Harrison Bader and TJ Friedl will start in the outfield while Hunter Renfroe serves as Cincinnati's DH.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Will Benson - Sitting against lefty Benson isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday against the Cardinals.
Impact Southpaw Zack Thompson is set to start on the mound for St. Louis, so the lefty-hitting Benson will retreat to the dugout to begin Saturday's game. Nick Senzel, Harrison Bader and TJ Friedl will make up the Reds' outfield while Benson sits.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Steer - Logs steal in loss Steer started at second base and went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 9-4 loss to St. Louis.
Impact Steer, who never stole more than eight bases in a season while in the minors, stole his 13th bag for the Reds. His stint as the primary fill-in at second base could be ending soon, as Jonathan India (foot) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Friday. India is expected to return Tuesday, which means manager David Bell can take advantage of Steer's versatility, moving him between third base, first base and left field.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Steady gig ending soon Encarnacion-Strand started at first base and went 2-for-5 in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Encarnacion-Strand has been the primary fill-in at first base while Joey Votto (shoulder) has been sidelined. That steady gig will end this weekend, as Votto is expected to return Sunday after a two-game rehab stint at Triple-A Louisville. Cincinnati manager David Bell will need to find opportunities for Encarnacion-Strand at designated hitter, third base or first base going forward. And there's motivation to find him spots in the lineup. Encarnacion-Strand is 14-for-35 (.400) with five extra-base hits and six RBI over the last nine games.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Votto - Starts rehab assignment Votto (shoulder) went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI for Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Impact Votto began a short rehab assignment with the Bats, which is expected to last one more day before he's activated Sunday.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jonathan India - Begins rehab assignment India (foot) went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, two RBI and two runs scored for Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Impact India kicked off a rehab assignment and was active on the left foot that cost him more than five weeks. Coming back from plantar fasciitis, he started at second base and played six innings. India will get at least another two games with the Bats and could return Tuesday when the Reds begin a three-game set against the Tigers in Detroit.
