David Bote - Dealing with shoulder sorenessBote exited Thursday's game against the Reds due to left shoulder soreness, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

ImpactBote collided with teammate Nico Hoerner attempting to field a groundball in the fourth inning. The injury is particularly concerning because Bote separated his left shoulder on two occasions during the 2021 season and underwent surgery to repair the damage in the offseason. Bote is day-to-day for now, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him out of the lineup for at least a few days.

Aristides Aquino - Resumes hittingAquino (ankle) has resumed hitting Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

ImpactAquino 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 BPGutierrez (elbow) will throw live batting practice Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Alexis Díaz - Won't return FridayDiaz (biceps) will require at least two more throwing sessions before he's cleared to return, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

ImpactThe 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.

Narciso Crook - Contract selectedCrook had his contract selected by the Cubs on Thursday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

ImpactCrook joined the Cubs on a minor-league deal in November and will now receive his first opportunity in the big leagues. The 26-year-old has appeared in 47 games for Triple-A Iowa this year and hit .268/.375/.510 with nine home runs, 27 RBI and 11 stolen bases.

Michael Hermosillo - Moves to 60-day ILHermosillo (quadriceps) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

ImpactHermosillo has been sidelined since May 8 by a quadriceps strain, and Thursday's transaction shouldn't significantly alter his return timetable since he'll be able to return as early as the second weekend in July. The 27-year-old progressed to taking live batting practice next week, and he'll likely be able to begin a rehab assignment soon.
