Justin Dunn - Sharp in rehab start Dunn (shoulder) struck out four over three scoreless innings in his rehab start Tuesday from Triple-A Louisville. He allowed no hits and issued two walks in the 46-pitch outing.

Impact According to MLB.com, Reds manager David Bell relayed that Bell said he felt the best he has at any point this season following Tuesday's rehab appearance, suggesting he's no longer experiencing any discomfort in his right shoulder. Cincinnati has already set its rotation for the remaining six games of the season, so Dunn will work out of the bullpen once activated from the 15-day injured list. Bell said that Dunn is expected to rejoin the Reds in Chicago over the weekend, so he could be activated at some point during the team's series with the Cubs.

Jake Fraley - Tallies 11th homer Fraley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Pirates.

Impact Fraley earned a start for the second consecutive game, and he took advantage by slugging a game-tying homer in the ninth inning. He now has 11 home runs on the season -- a new career high -- four of which have come in September. Overall, Fraley has a .249/.333/.462 line across 225 plate appearances for the campaign.

Kyle Farmer - Launches 14th homer Farmer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Pirates.

Impact Farmer took Chase De Jong deep in the ninth inning for his 14th homer of the season. Six of those long balls have come in September, and Farmer has also tacked on 17 RBI and 10 runs scored for the month. Despite the hot stretch, Farmer still has a pedestrian .255/.315/.390 line across 560 plate appearances on the campaign.

Alexis Díaz - Takes loss in extra frame Diaz (6-3) allowed an unearned run on one walk and one hit while striking out two across 1.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Pirates.

Impact Diaz entered the game in the ninth inning and kept the score knotted at 3-3. He remained on the mound for the 10th inning and allowed a soft bloop hit to Kevin Newman to surrender the winning run. Despite the minor setback, Diaz has maintained a 1.80 ERA with a 12:5 K:BB across 10 innings in September. He should remain locked into the closer role in the final week of the season.

Luis Cessa - Turns in quality start Cessa allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two across six innings Wednesday against the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Cessa turned in his first quality start since shifting from the bullpen to the rotation in late August. He allowed all three of his earned runs in his first two innings of work, but he retired 12 of the last 14 hitters he faced. Cessa has now allowed only five earned runs across his last 15.2 innings of work, though he's backed that with a much less convincing 6:8 K:BB.

Tuesday was his first start since Thursday as the Reds went with other options over the last four games. The 27-year-old has performed well since returning from the injured list at the end of July, posting a .287/.370/.513 line in 173 plate appearances.

Impact Despite allowing nine baserunners, Greene managed to limit the Pirates to one unearned run. In the fifth, he loaded the bases with no outs but got out of the inning unscathed. It was his second double-digit strikeout performance of the season with both coming in his last three starts. Since returning from a shoulder injury Sept. 17, he's posted a 1.06 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB in 17 innings. His final start of the season will likely be early next week against the Cubs.

Impact Fairchild seemingly took over the center field job recently from Jake Fraley, but he heads to the bench in this one. Mike Siani, who did not have an overly impressive season in the minors (.750 OPS) and is 0-for-6 with three strikeouts in the majors, will get the start in center field.

Aristides Aquino - Reaches 10 homers Aquino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Pirates on Monday.

Impact Aquino was the only Reds player with multiple hits in the contest, and his ninth-inning solo homer pushed him to 10 long balls for the second straight season. He's needed more plate appearances to reach that mark in 2022, and he's yet to replicate the success that saw him hit 19 homers over just 205 at-bats in his rookie 2019 campaign. Aquino has run hot and then cold this month -- he batted .327 over his first 14 games in September but is hitting a paltry .094 (3-for-32) in his past nine contests.
