Hunter Greene - Activated ahead of start Sunday The Reds reinstated Greene (hip) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Greene ended up spending just over the minimum 60 days on the IL, as he'll be returning to the Cincinnati rotation for the first time since June 17 after making a full recovery from right hip discomfort. The young right-hander assuaged any lingering concerns about his health by turning in a dominant four-start rehab assignment between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Triple-A Louisville in which he compiled a 2.57 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB in 14 innings. Greene tossed 83 pitches and 5.2 innings in his final rehab outing Tuesday, so he's unlikely to face any major workload restrictions in his return from the IL.

Brandon Williamson - Allows four runs in loss Williamson (4-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against Toronto. He struck out six.
Impact Williamson allowed nine hits to Toronto, eight of which were singles, including a string of three consecutive run-scoring base knocks in the fourth inning. The one extra-base hit surrendered by the 25-year-old was a fifth-inning solo homer by Davis Schneider, which gave the Blue Jays a 4-3 lead and proved to be the difference. After a challenging start to his rookie campaign, Williamson has pitched well since the start of July, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB across 48 innings during that stretch. He currently lines up to face Arizona on the road next week.

Elly De La Cruz - Two hits in loss De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Toronto.
Impact De La Cruz's triple, which knocked in Matt McLain, turned into a Little League home run when Cavan Biggio's throw to the infield was ruled an error. De La Cruz has multiple hits in three of seven games and five RBI since dropping to third in the order.

Noelvi Marte - Debuts as pinch runner Marte entered as a pinch runner in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact Marte was called up earlier in the day and is expected to serve as Cincinnati's primary third baseman, per Rob Terranova of MLB.com, while Spencer Steer takes on more work in left field. While it may seem crowded on the roster, injuries to Jake Fraley (toe) and Jonathan India (foot) mean there will be opportunities for Marte.

Kevin Newman - Placed on injured list The Reds placed Newman on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain (retroactive to Aug. 16).
Impact Newman was previously on the injured list with an illness in late July, and now an oblique injury will force him out for at least another week. Top prospect Noelvi Marte was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.

Jake Fraley - Will play through injury Fraley said Saturday that he will eventually need to undergo surgery on his toe, but he will play through his injury for now, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Fraley was told by his doctors that he could attempt to play through his injury, so he will do so in order to contribute to Cincinnati's postseason push. Fraley has already spent the minimum 10 days on the injured list, though it remains unclear when Cincinnati plans on activating him.

Reds calling up infield prospect Noelvi Marte The 21-year-old entered the season as the No. 3 prospect in the Reds' system.
AUGUST 19, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Noelvi Marte - Earns major-league call-up Marte was called up by the Reds on Saturday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact Marte joined the Reds' organization at the 2022 trade deadline in a deal which sent Luis Castillo to Seattle. The 21-year-old has split time between shortstop and third base at the two levels of the minors this season, posting an identical .820 OPS at both stops while adding 11 homers and 18 steals in 89 games. The Reds have a very crowded infield after the arrival of several top prospects this season, though Jonathan India's plantar fasciitis means at-bats are available at least in the short term for Marte to show what he can do.

Alexis Díaz - Well rested, picks up win Diaz (5-4) picked up Saturday's win over the Blue Jays. He struck out one over one inning.
Impact Diaz pitched for the just the second time in the last nine days and benefitted from Christian Encarnacion-Strand's walk-off home run. Reds manager David Bell had the luxury of bringing a well-rested Diaz into a scoreless tie in the ninth inning to face the heart of Toronto's order. Like several other overworked members of the Cincinnati bullpen, Diaz endured a tough patch early in the month, but a stretch of relative inactivity appears to have renewed the closer.

Ben Lively - Makes rehab start Friday Lively (pectoral) allowed four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings for Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Impact Lively allowed a pair of home runs, but the pitch count (76) and innings were most important. He had been scheduled to throw 85 pitches in his first rehab start Sunday but only tossed 32 (19 strikes) after allowing six runs in two-thirds of an inning. This could be Lively's final rehab outing, per MLB.com, but Cincinnati manager David Bell wants to see how the right-hander feels Saturday before making any decision.
