Aristides Aquino - Resumes hitting Aquino (ankle) has resumed hitting Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Aquino sustained an ankle injury in mid-June that's expected to keep him sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks, but he's been cleared to resume swinging. However, he'll need to ramp up his workload before he has a clear target date to return to game action.

Vladimir Gutierrez - Slated to throw live BP Gutierrez (elbow) will throw live batting practice Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Gutierrez progressed to mound work last week, and he's now been cleared to face live hitters. After being shut down with a first-degree UCL strain in his right elbow earlier in June, the 26-year-old has recently made encouraging progress in his recovery.

Alexis Díaz - Won't return Friday Diaz (biceps) will require at least two more throwing sessions before he's cleared to return, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The Reds initially hoped Diaz would be able to be reinstated from the injured list Friday, but he'll instead toss a bullpen Saturday prior to throwing a live BP on Monday. Once the right-hander is officially activated, it's possible he takes on a setup role since manager David Bell expressed confidence in Hunter Strickland as the Reds' closer last weekend.

Mike Moustakas - Rejoins lineup Thursday Moustakas (undisclosed) is batting sixth as the designated hitter Thursday against the Cubs, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Moustakas sat out the past three games while nursing a minor injury, but he's back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale in Chicago. The 34-year-old has a .303/.351/.394 slash line across his past 10 contests.

Aramis Garcia - On bench Thursday Garcia isn't in the lineup Thursday against the Cubs.
Impact Garcia started in the last five games and went 8-for-15 with two RBI and six strikeouts. Michael Papierski is starting behind the plate and batting ninth Thursday.
JUNE 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Albert Almora Jr. - Takes seat Thursday Almora isn't starting Thursday against the Cubs.
Impact Almora has been an everyday player for the Reds recently but will get a breather after he hit .150 with a double, three RBI, two runs and five strikeouts over the last five games. Max Schrock is taking over in right field and batting eighth.

Tyler Stephenson - Nearing rehab assignment Stephenson (thumb) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville in the coming days, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Stephenson took part in batting practice Wednesday and is close to returning to game action with the minor-league club. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list since June 9 due to a fractured right thumb and will likely require several rehab games before rejoining the Reds, but he seems to be trending toward a return sometime in early July.

Brandon Drury - Goes deep in loss Drury went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.
Impact Drury's ninth-inning solo shot came with the Reds far out of contention for a win, but it at least gave fantasy managers who roster him something to smile about. The long ball was his 16th of the campaign, tying the career-best mark he established in more than twice as many games in 2016. Drury's breakout 2022 campaign also includes a solid .279/.337/.541 slash line and 40 RBI over 267 plate appearances.

Hunter Greene - Tagged with ninth loss Greene (3-9) took the look against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings.
Impact Greene's moments of wildness cost him in the contest -- the first runner who scored against him got aboard on a hit-by-pitch, and both Cubs who crossed the plate in his fourth and final inning reached on a walk. There were also positive takeaways from the rookie's outing -- he racked up 13 swinging strikes among 80 pitches and averaged at least one strikeout per inning for the 11th time in his past 12 starts -- but those weren't enough to prevent him from taking his team-worst ninth loss. Greene has had his share of rookie bumps and bruises this season as evidenced by his won-loss record and 5.72 ERA, but there have also been encouraging signs such as his 11.3 K/9, which ranks fifth-best among qualified major-league starters.

Tyler Stephenson - Takes batting practice Stephenson (thumb) participated in batting practice on the field at Great American Ball Park on Wednesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager David Bell recently said he hopes Stephenson will begin a rehab assignment within the next week, and the catcher's participating at batting practice Wednesday is an encouraging sign for his outlook. The 25-year-old will likely need to advance to facing live pitching before being cleared for game action in the minors.

Tyler Naquin - Rehab assignment begins Thursday Naquin (quadriceps) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact The Reds hoped that Naquin would be able to begin a rehab assignment late last week, but they waited a few days before ultimately sending him to a minor-league affiliate. It's not clear which affiliate he'll work with, but he'll likely be ready to rejoin the major-league club in the coming days.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Lodolo - Set to return early next week Lodolo (back) will rejoin the Reds' rotation Monday or Tuesday against the Mets, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Lodolo made his fourth rehab start Wednesday at Triple-A Louisville and allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out five in 4.2 innings. The Reds will have a six-man rotation next week since they have a doubleheader, but manager David Bell declined to reveal the team's rotation plans past that point.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jared Solomon - Optioned to Triple-A Solomon was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
Impact Solomon joined the Reds' bullpen Friday and gave up three runs in a relief inning against the Giants on Saturday. He'll remain with the Reds on their road trip as part of the taxi squad but will be cast off the active roster after Jeff Hoffman (undisclosed) was reinstated from the injured list Wednesday.

Jeff Hoffman - Reinstated from injured list Hoffman (undisclosed) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.
Impact Hoffman landed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday, but his quick return likely means that he didn't test positive for the virus. He should be available out of the bullpen Wednesday against the Cubs after right-hander Jared Solomon was sent down.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Moustakas - Remains out of lineup Moustakas isn't starting Wednesday against the Cubs.
Impact Moustakas is out of the lineup for a third consecutive game, but his absence Wednesday is likely due to the fact that left-hander Justin Steele is on the mound for the Cubs. Brandon Drury will serve as the designated hitter while Donovan Solano starts at third base.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tommy Pham - Returns to lineup Pham (back) is starting Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Pham was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to lower-back tightness, but he'll start in left field and bat third Wednesday. He hit .125 with a homer, four RBI, three runs and seven strikeouts over the last six games.
