Andrew Abbott - Bounces back versus Pirates Abbott (7-3) earned the win over the Pirates on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits over 5.2 frames. He struck out nine.
Impact Coming off back-to-back clunkers against the Cubs and Nationals which saw him yield a combined 10 runs over nine innings, Abbott was certainly much sharper in this effort. It looked like he was going to complete six shutout frames when he retired the first two batters of that inning, but the lefty was chased after giving up a home run to Ke'Bryan Hayes and then a double and RBI single. Abbott collected 10 swinging strikes on 98 pitches in the outing.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - X-rays on hand are negative X-rays on Encarnacion-Strand's hand came back negative, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Encarnacion-Strand was struck by a Johan Oviedo pitch in the fifth inning of Friday's win over the Pirates, but he's managed to avoid a serious injury. It's possible the Reds will elect to give him a day of rest Saturday, anyway, but consider the young slugger day-to-day.

Jonathan India - Shut down for two weeks India (foot) will receive a second opinion on his left foot and has been shut down from winning for at least two weeks, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact India has reportedly been feeling pain while running, so the Reds will pause his rehab until late August, meaning his return to the lineup will likely have to wait until September. The 26-year-old second baseman was slashing .251/.336/.409 across 453 plate appearances prior to getting injured in late July.

Nick Lodolo - Rehabbing in rookie ball Lodolo (lower leg) began a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Friday.
Impact Lodolo will begin rehabbing in rookie ball before progressing his way up the minors to face tougher competition. The 25-year-old lefty put up a 6.29 ERA and 1.75 WHIP over 34.1 innings across seven starts and is expected to return to the Reds' rotation before the end of August.

Curt Casali - Begins rehab assignment Casali (foot) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Impact Casali landed on the injured list July 24 with a bruised left foot and is now set to begin the final stage of his recovery process. The Reds were carrying three catchers prior to Casali getting injured, so it's possible Casali is optioned to Louisville upon being reinstated so Cincinnati can maintain a traditional two-catcher roster.

Nick Senzel - Sent to Triple-A Senzel was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Impact Senzel had been starting at third base roughly two-thirds of the time lately, but the Reds will select Henry Ramos' contract to take his place on the active roster. On the season, Senzel has been worth -0.6 fWAR while slashing .219/.290/.368 with nine home runs and five steals in 80 games.
AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Eduardo Salazar - Designated for assignment The Reds designated Salazar for assignment on Friday.
Impact Salazar had been playing in Triple-A Louisville since he was optioned July 2. Triple-A and the majors have been a struggle for him. In Louisville, the 25-year-old had a lofty 8.24 earned run average in 19.2 innings pitched. In the majors, the reliever had a 8.03 ERA in 12.1 innings of work.
AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Henry Ramos - Selected from Louisville The Reds selected Ramos' contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.
Impact Ramos was sent outright to Triple-A on July 10 and has since slashed .310/.390/.437 across 82 plate appearances with Louisville. He was able to get on base at a solid rate (.356 OBP) during his time in the majors this season, though he doesn't project to receive consistent playing time in a crowded Reds lineup. Nick Senzel was optioned to Louisville in a corresponding move.

Will Benson - Returns to lineup Benson (back) is starting in right field and batting eight Friday against the Pirates.
Impact Back stiffness kept Benson out of the Reds' last game against the Marlins, but he will return to the lineup after getting an extra day to recover Thursday. The 25-year-old outfielder is currently 2-for-14 with nine strikeouts and a run scored since the beginning of August.
AUGUST 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Stephenson - Sitting Friday Stephenson isn't in the Reds' lineup Friday agaisnt the Pirates.
Impact Stephenson is just 1-for-16 with six strikeouts across his last five games, so he'll take a day off Friday to regroup. Luke Maile will fill in behind the plate and bat ninth.
