Elly De La Cruz - Base-running blunder in loss De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Cubs.

Impact De La Cruz lofted a flyball to left center that fell in between two Chicago outfielders then tried to stretch it to a triple but was thrown out by Pete Crow-Armstrong. Reds interim manager Freddie Benavides told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com that it was mistake for De La Cruz to not stop at second base. "The ball was in front of him," Benavides said. "He's got to realize that [Crow-Armstrong] has got a great arm. It's something me and him talked about, we addressed. It's a mistake and he's going to learn from it." While it may have been a tactical error on the part of De La Cruz, it does not take away from his fantasy value. The 22-year-old infielder has an .815 OPS with 25 home runs, 74 RBI, a league-leading 65 steals and 104 runs scored over 158 games.

Nick Martinez - Goes eight innings in loss Martinez (10-7) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits over eight innings. He struck out three without issuing a walk.

Impact Martinez was excellent again Friday, allowing a lone fifth-inning run on a Miguel Amaya sacrifice fly.

Despite the unfortunate finish, Martinez was spectacular down the stretch, allowing just four earned runs over 32.2 innings in his final five outings. He'll wrap up the year with a 3.10 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 116:18 K:BB across 142.1 innings.
