Jonathan India - Scratched with heel issue India was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers due to left heel pain, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact India started the past three games at the keystone for Cincinnati, but it's unclear when he suffered the injury or if he'll be available off the bench Saturday. The 26-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Will Benson - Out of Saturday's lineup Benson is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers.
Impact He will get a rare day off against a righty (Emmet Sheehan), which allows Spencer Steer to move to left field and for Joey Votto and Christian Encarnacion-Strand to handle the first base and designated hitter duties, respectively. Benson is hitting .241 with three home runs, two steals and 16 strikeouts (47.1 K%) in his last 10 games.

Tyler Stephenson - Sitting Saturday Stephenson isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday against the Dodgers.
Impact Stephenson will catch a breather after going 1-for-6 across his last two games. Luke Maile will start behind the dish in Stephenson's place and bat ninth.

Matt McLain - Doubles twice, scores in win McLain went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
Impact McLain was involved in the Reds' three-run first inning when he doubled and came home on Jake Fraley's home run. He's been a steady contributor since coming up in May with no extended slumps during his time in the majors. The middle infielder has never gone more than two games without a hit and is batting .305 with 10 home runs, 36 RBI, eight stolen bases and 48 runs over 63 games.

Alex Young - Rescues Reds Young allowed one hit and struck out one over one inning to earn a hold in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Situations don't get much more high leverage than the seventh-inning spot in which manager David Bell called for the left-handed Young. The Dodgers had plated three runs, cutting Cincinnati's lead to 6-5, and the bases were loaded with lefty-hitting Max Muncy due up. Young induced a flyout, then got two more outs in the eighth before closer Alexis Diaz finished it off. The only lefty in the Reds' bullpen, Young has not allowed a run over his last 14 appearances and sports a 2.20 ERA for the season. The 29-year-old journeyman reliever has embraced a new changeup grip this season, per Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer, which helped make him a trusted bullpen arm. That's the pitch he throws most often (37.5 percent) and opponents are batting just .159 against it.

Spencer Steer - Homers in Friday's win Steer went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Steer's solo shot in the seventh inning sparked a three-run rally for the Reds. The infielder snapped his 18-game homer drought, which dated back to July 2. He hit .235 during the power outage, taking some of the shine off of what's been a strong first full season in the majors for the 25-year-old. Steer is at a .276/.362/.463 slash line with 15 homers, 56 RBI, 50 runs scored and nine stolen bases through 100 contests this year.

Jake Fraley - Provides early offense Fraley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Fraley's blast off Bobby Miller capped off the Reds' three-run first inning. While Fraley is batting a meager .213 (10-for-47) since the All-Star break, he's tallied four homers and nine RBI in that 13-game span. The outfielder is up to a .264/.348/.476 slash line with 15 homers, 61 RBI, 38 runs scored and 17 stolen bases through 87 contests, primarily in a strong-side platoon role.

Alexis Díaz - Grabs four-out save Diaz earned the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers, pitching 1.1 innings without putting a runner on base. He did not strike out or walk a batter.
Impact Diaz was on the mound when James Outman logged a stolen base with two outs in the eighth inning, but that was the only blemish in an otherwise clean performance. This was Diaz's ninth save in July and his 31st of the season. The right-hander continues to pitch well in the closer role, posting a 2.14 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 67:20 K:BB through 46.1 innings this season.

Brandon Williamson - Escapes with win Williamson (3-2) allowed two runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings to pick up the win Friday over the Dodgers.
Impact Williamson's 12 baserunners were by far his most in an appearance this season, but he was able to work around the trouble. He finishes July having not allowed more than two runs in any outing, and he gave up just seven runs over 25.2 innings across his five starts for the month. Williamson has a 4.48 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 48:27 K:BB through 64.1 innings through 13 starts this year. He's projected for a road start versus the Cubs next week.
