Graham Ashcraft - Reds-Angels postponed Ashcraft and the Reds won't play the Angels on Monday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Anaheim, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

TJ Hopkins - Fills in for Fairchild Hopkins entered Sunday's game after Stuart Fairchild left with a concussion and went 0-for-3 in a 10-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Fairchild started in right field and crashed into the wall during the second inning while attempting to make a catch. Hopkins hasn't played much since his callup Aug. 5, garnering just one start and four plate appearances. Will Benson was out of the lineup Sunday against a lefty and should be in the lineup Monday against Angels righty Lucas Giolito. Lefty Reid Detmers is scheduled to face the Reds on Tuesday, which could be a spot for Hopkins or Henry Ramos.

Tyler Stephenson - Homers in pinch Stephenson entered as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 10-3 loss to Toronto.

Impact Stephenson homered as a pinch hitter for Luke Maile in the seventh inning and finished out the game behind the plate. The blast was Stephenson's ninth and first in 12 games. The Reds primary catcher has hits in four straight games but has been struggling since the All-Star break, recording a .203/.276/.304 line over 25 contests.

Noelvi Marte - Gets first MLB hit Marte started at third base and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Marte made his first MLB start, committed his first MLB error and recorded his first MLB hit with a ninth-inning double. He's expected to serve as the primary third baseman until second baseman Jonathan India (foot) can return. At that point, the Reds will need to accommodate Marte, Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain at shortstop and third base. DH is a possibility, but there's a need to find spots for Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Joey Votto, not to mention Jake Fraley (toe) when he's ready to return.

Hunter Greene - Blasted for eight earned runs Greene (2-5) took the loss Sunday, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 10 hits and three walks over three innings in a 10-3 loss against the Blue Jays. He struck out four.

Impact Greene was ineffective in his first start since being placed on the 60-day injured list with right hip discomfort. After allowing five runs (four earned) in the first two innings, Green sent the Blue Jays down in order in the third. He then failed to generate an out in the fourth, allowing three home runs and walking two prior to being pulled. The eight earned runs and five homers allowed each matched a career high, while the three innings pitched match the second shortest outing of his young career. Greene is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Friday in Arizona against the Diamondbacks.

Stuart Fairchild - Enters concussion protocol Fairchild was removed in the top of the third inning of Sunday's game against the Blue Jays after entering the concussion protocol, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer rep...

Impact Fairchild collided with the outfield wall in the top of the second while attempting to rob a home run, and though he stayed in the game until the Reds recorded the final out of the frame, he was replaced in the field by TJ Hopkins in the next inning. Since he's still being checked out for a concussion at this stage and hasn't been diagnosed with a brain injury, Fairchild may not immediately land on the 7-day injured list until the Reds complete their evaluation. The 27-year-old has been handling a near-everyday role in the outfield of late since Jake Fraley (toe) landed on the injured list earlier this month.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Steals first career base Encarnacion-Strand went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact One night after his first career walk-off homer, Encarnacion-Strand notched the first steal of his young career, serving as the trail runner in a ninth-inning double steal. Considering he stole just two bases in 67 minor-league games this year, it's unlikely that the 23-year-old will have the green light on the basepaths. Encarnacion-Strand has now hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, boasting a .278/.366/.528 slash line with three homers, six RBI, four runs scored and a steal across 41 plate appearances during that stretch. However, the rookie's 36.6% strikeout rate during that same time frame certainly causes some concern.

Alan Busenitz - Sent back to Triple-A The Reds optioned Busenitz to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active for to right-hander Hunter Greene (hip), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday versus the Blue Jays. During his four-day stint with the Reds, Busenitz tossed a scoreless inning in his lone relief appearance.
