Mychal Givens - Secures save No. 5 Givens fired a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit while striking out one to earn the save in the win over the Tigers.
Impact Givens entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead. He allowed a leadoff single to Robbie Grossman, but retired the following two batters and finished a game on a double-play. The 31-year-old has emerged as the main closer for the Reds, with all five of his saves coming since Aug. 5. He has a 3.46 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 12 punchouts in 13 innings with the Reds this season.

Tyler Mahle - Gets win despite mediocre start Mahle (11-5) allowed four earned runs on six hits and five walks while striking out eight across five innings, taking the win over the Tigers on Saturday.
Impact Mahle surrendered a three-run home run in the third inning to Eric Haase. In addition, he gave up a fourth run in the fifth frame. He allowed a season-high five walks, despite receiving the win. The 26-year-old has a 3.76 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with a 10.7 K/9 in 153.1 innings this season.

Nick Senzel - May be done for season Senzel went for another opinion on his knee and manager David Bell said Saturday that it's "going to take a while" before Senzel is fully healthy, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Reds' skipper said he's unsure whether Senzel will return this season. Reading between the lines, it seems like a long shot, unless the Reds make a deep postseason run. Senzel underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in May and was still noticeably favoring the knee when he hit following his return. Injuries have been a recurring theme for Senzel, and there didn't appear to be a spot for him anyway as he was optioned initially before that option was ultimately rescinded due to the ongoing trouble with the knee.

Tucker Barnhart - On bench Saturday Barnhart is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Impact The Reds will stick with the exact same top eight for the third straight game (against a third straight lefty). Tyler Stephenson remains behind the plate and in the two hole against southpaw Matthew Boyd.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Naquin - Sitting Saturday Naquin is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Manager David Bell continues to play the matchups, swapping Naquin out for a right-handed-hitting outfielder whenever a lefty starter is due up for the opposition. Naquin is batting just .203/.309/.271 against left-handed pitching this season, compared to .284/.342/.523 against righties.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Moustakas - Out again Saturday Moustakas is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
Impact Matthew Boyd, Saturday's starter for Detroit, is the third straight lefty the Reds have faced, and Moustakas has been on the bench against all three. Eugenio Suarez will remain at the hot corner and in the five hole. Moustakas and Suarez appear primed to continue operating in a strict platoon.

Jonathan India - Swats 18th homer India went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 15-5 loss to the Tigers.
Impact The second baseman brought the Reds to within a run with a fifth-inning blast off Kyle Funkhouser that made the score 4-3, but it was as close as Cincinnati would get to tying things up. India has been fading down the stretch -- not surprising for a rookie who hadn't played more than 121 games in a season in the minors, a figure he's already surpassed in 2021 -- and the 24-year-old is slashing .175/.254/.333 over his last 16 games with two of his 18 homers on the year.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Eugenio Suárez - Slugs homer No. 25 Suarez went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 15-5 loss to the Tigers.
Impact He got the Reds on the board with a blast off Tyler Alexander in the second inning, but Cincinnati was already in a 2-0 hole at that point. Suarez has gone yard in back-to-back games to give him 25 homers on the year, the fourth consecutive full season in which he's reached that mark, but he continues to struggle making consistent contact -- since the beginning of August, he's slashing .188/.284/.484 through 22 games.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Vladimir Gutierrez - Chased early by Tigers Gutierrez (9-6) took the loss in Friday's 15-5 rout at the hands of the Tigers, giving up four runs (three earned) on four hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out one.
Impact All four of the hits off Gutierrez went for extra bases, including homers by Jonathan Schoop and Jeimer Candelario. The rookie right-hander has been hit hard in his last two starts and been saddled with the loss in three of his last four, and Gutierrez has a 4.17 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 76:36 K:BB through 99.1 innings on the season.
