Brandon Williamson - Gets no help in loss Williamson (4-4) allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and struck out five without walking a batter over six innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Giants.
Impact Williamson was let down by his offense and defense. An error in the third inning ultimately led to Patrick Bailey's two-run home run, while the Cincinnati bats were held without a hit until the ninth inning. Williamson finishes August with mixed results, allowing four or more runs in three of his six starts without giving up more than one run in any of the other three outings. He's at a 4.20 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 87:33 K:BB through 98.2 innings across 19 starts overall. The rookie southpaw is lined up for a home start versus the Cubs over the weekend.

Tony Santillan - Dropped from 40-man roster Santillan was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.
Impact Santillan missed the first three months of the 2023 campaign due to back and hamstring injuries and has posted an ugly 9.26 ERA across 23.1 innings of relief at Triple-A. The 26-year-old right-hander showed a lot of promise as a rookie in 2021, but he is now off the 40-man roster in Cincinnati.

Michael Siani - Optioned to Louisville Cincinnati optioned Siani to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Impact Siani went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored during his six-day stay on the Reds' major-league roster. Alejo Lopez has been selected from Louisville ahead of Tuesday's game against the Giants.

Alejo Lopez - Selected to MLB roster Cincinnati selected Lopez's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Impact Lopez is up in the majors for the first time this season after posting a .282/.390/.404 batting line with seven homers and 15 steals across 108 games for Louisville. The 27-year-old can serve as depth at a variety of positions as the Reds try to navigate around several key injuries.

Stuart Fairchild - Takes seat Tuesday Fairchild is not in the lineup Tuesday at San Francisco.
Impact Fairchild just returned Monday from a 7-day stint on the concussion injured list and will likely continue to be eased back into action. Will Benson, TJ Friedl and Nick Senzel are starting across the outfield for the Reds on Tuesday against the Giants.
AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Fraley - Beginning rehab assignment Fraley (toe) is beginning a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Louisville.
Impact Fraley is expected to play for Louisville on Tuesday and Wednesday before returning to the Reds' active roster ahead of Friday's series opener against the Cubs. He's been sidelined since Aug. 5 because of a stress fracture in his left fourth toe. The injury will likely require a surgical repair over the offseason.

Reiver Sanmartin - On mend from Tommy John surgery The Reds confirmed that Sanmartin (elbow) underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery July 7, MLB.com reports.
Impact At the time Sanmartin went under the knife, reports merely stated that he had surgery to repair his UCL, but it wasn't specifically noted whether he had Tommy John surgery or an alternative procedure such an internal brace surgery, the latter of which often carries a shorter recovery timeline. With Sanmartin having now been confirmed to have had Tommy John surgery, he'll be in store for at least a year-long rehab and recovery process, meaning that he likely won't be an option for the Cincinnati bullpen until after the 2024 All-Star break.

Justin Dunn - Suffers setback with shoulder Dunn's rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville was halted Thursday after he suffered a setback with his right shoulder, MLB.com reports.
Impact Dunn's last two seasons have been torpedoed by shoulder problems, with a subscapularis muscle in his right rotator cuff having kept him on the Reds' injured list since spring training. He began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Aug. 16 and made two appearances for the affiliate before moving on to Louisville, but he made just one appearance at the Triple-A level before being shut down again. The Reds haven't provided word on the severity of his setback, but Dunn could be hard-pressed to make it back from the IL before the end of the 2023 campaign.

Matt McLain - Timeline for return uncertain Manager David Bell said Monday that McLain (oblique) is without a clear timeline for a return from the 10-day injured list, but the Reds are hopeful the rookie will play again this...
Impact McLain was surprisingly placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's 4-1 loss to the Giants after he was sent in for a precautionary MRI on Sunday and diagnosed with a right oblique strain. The Reds are still in the process of determining whether McLain is dealing with a Grade 1 or Grade 2 strain, the latter of which would necessitate a longer recovery timeline. If McLain's injury is on the milder side, he would have a chance at being available to return from the IL when first eligible Sept. 8.

Stuart Fairchild - Draws walk in return Fairchild (concussion) went 0-for-1 with a walk and a strikeout in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Giants.
Impact Fairchild played six innings in right field in his return from a one-week absence. He was replaced by pinch hitter Nick Martini in the seventh inning in a likely tactical move. It'll likely be a short-side platoon role for Fairchild the rest of the way, with Will Benson and Martini handling right field against right-handed pitchers until Jake Fraley (toe) comes back. Fairchild is slashing just .228/.325/.386 over 237 plate appearances this season, though he's added nine stolen bases and five home runs.

Andrew Abbott - Loses in San Francisco Abbott (8-4) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over 3.1 innings to take the loss Monday versus the Giants.
Impact Abbott failed to complete five innings for the second start in a row, and he wasn't lucky enough to escape with a no-decision this time. Two of the five hits he allowed were RBI doubles, and he gave up the third run on a sacrifice fly. The 24-year-old southpaw is at a 3.35 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 99:34 K:BB through 88.2 innings over 16 starts this season. With a career-high 142.2 innings across all levels in 2023, Abbott may simply be running out of gas late in the year. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Cubs over the weekend.
