Jake Fraley - Three hits, steal in win Fraley went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Fraley has gone 10-for-34 (.294) with five extra-base hits and two steals over his last nine contests. The outfielder's productive Sunday lifted his slash line to .269/.351/.480 with 15 home runs, 62 RBI, 39 runs scored, 18 steals and 14 doubles through 316 plate appearances this season. He remains on the strong side of a platoon in right field often batting fourth or fifth versus right-handed pitchers.

Joey Votto - Drives in three Sunday Votto went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 9-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Votto launched a two-run blast in the third inning and tacked on another run with an RBI double in the ninth. This was the veteran's second multi-hit effort in 15 games since the All-Star break, a span in which he's batting a meager .137 (7-for-51). Despite the poor hitting, Votto's path to playing time could be steadier while Jonathan India (foot) is on the injured list, a move that is likely to clear up a logjam throughout the Reds' infield and designated hitter positions. Votto is slashing .194/.310/.481 with nine homers, 25 RBI, 12 runs scored and four doubles through 126 plate appearances this season.

Matt McLain - Pops homer Sunday McLain went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact McLain had gone six games without a homer, though he's gone deep four times while batting .321 (17-for-53) since the All-Star break. The infielder is up to 11 long balls on the year. He's maintained a .305/.375/.530 slash line with 37 RBI, 50 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 65 contests. With Jonathan India (foot) going on the injured list, McLain may pick up a bit more time at second base rather than shortstop going forward, though he should still be a near-everyday player regardless.

Elly De La Cruz - Homers in four-hit game De La Cruz went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-0 win over the Dodgers.
Impact De La Cruz had no trouble setting the table from the leadoff spot, and he also showed some power with his second-inning blast. Sunday's effort was already his third career four-hit game. The 21-year-old had gone 16 games without a multi-hit effort. He's now at a .277/.322/.473 slash line with seven homers, 20 RBI, 37 runs scored and 17 stolen bases through 46 contests.

Graham Ashcraft - Quiets Dodgers Ashcraft (6-7) allowed five hits and struck out two without walking a batter over six shutouts innings to earn the win Sunday over the Dodgers.
Impact Ashcraft continued a solid stretch that has seen him allow no more than two runs in any of his last six starts. This was his fifth quality start in that span, and it's also the second time he's tossed a scoreless appearance. The 25-year-old right-hander is at a 5.31 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 76:43 K:BB through 105 innings across 20 starts, but his recent pitching certainly makes him worth a look in most fantasy formats. Ashcraft is projected to make his next start at home versus the Nationals.

Stuart Fairchild - Back in big leagues Fairchild was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
Impact The 27-year-old was sent to Louisville in early July but will rejoin the big club Sunday with Jonathan India (foot) landing on the injured list. Fairchild has a .237/.339/.404 slash line in 66 games this season, and he's unlikely to see significant playing time since Cincinnati's outfield group is currently in good health.

Jonathan India - Hopes to miss minimum time Reds manager David Bell said that he's hopeful that India, who was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Sunday due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot, will spend the minimu...
Impact India acknowledged himself that he could have played through the injury at about 80 percent health, but he and the Reds both agreed that an IL stint would be in his best long-term interest. Since India's placement on the IL is retroactive to Saturday, he'll be eligible for activation Aug. 8. India's move to the IL will create a clearer path for rookie Christian Encarnacion-Strand to continuing seeing regular starts.

Jonathan India - Heading to injured list India was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
Impact India was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to pain in his left heel, and he'll be sidelined for at least the next 10 days after an MRI revealed he's dealing with plantar fasciitis, which can often be a lingering long-term injury. It's unclear exactly how long the 26-year-old will be sidelined, but it'll likely be Elly De La Cruz and Matt McClain handling the middle-infield work for the near future.

Kevin Newman - Makes first appearance off IL Newman served as a pinch hitter and knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Newman pinch hit for Jake Fraley against left-hander Caleb Ferguson and knocked in Elly De La Cruz for the first Cincinnati run. Newman was activated off the injured list last Monday but hasn't appeared in a game since. He's normally in the lineup against southpaws, but the Reds haven't seen a lefty starter since he rejoined the active roster.

Nick Senzel - Replaces India in lineup Senzel was a late addition to the starting lineup in left field and went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Senzel was added to the lineup after the Reds scratched Jonathan India (heel). Spencer Steer was slated to start in left, but he was moved to third base as part of a lineup reshuffle to accommodate India's absence. The Reds await results of an MRI on India's injury.

Luke Weaver - Solid in Saturday's loss Weaver (2-3) allowed three runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Weaver turned in a fine performance, but a pair of Max Muncy home runs sent him to his first loss since May 1. Weaver earned his second quality start of the year with this effort. The right-hander is now at a 6.80 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 67:28 K:BB through 86 innings over 18 starts. He's projected for a road start versus the Cubs next week, but his poor numbers on the year could cost him his spot in the rotation if the Reds add starting pitching before Tuesday's trade deadline.

Jonathan India - Awaiting MRI results India (heel) underwent an MRI on Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The 26-year-old has apparently dealt with soreness in his left heel over the past few weeks, but the injury worsened of late and resulted in him being scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers. India should be considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale in Los Angeles, and the MRI results could soon shed some light on the severity of the issue.
