Dodgers: Tyler Anderson Explains His Dust Up and Verbal Exchange With Joey VottoDodgers pitchers Tyler Anderson talked about his exchange with Joe Votto in last night’s game.
Daniel Duarte - Headed back to majorsDuarte was recalled from Triple-A Louisville by the Reds on Saturday.
ImpactDuarte made Cincinnati's Opening Day roster and made two appearances out of the bullpen, surrendering two earned runs across 1.2 innings before being demoted. He'll likely return to a low-leverage relief role with the team. Nick Senzel (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Nick Senzel - Placed on injured listSenzel (illness) was placed on the injured list Saturday.
ImpactThe fact that the Reds' announcement merely referred to the "injured list" rather than the "10-day injured list" suggests Senzel has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. He's been battling an illness over the past few days, though there hadn't been any previous indication that his illness was coronavirus. Players can hit the COVID-19 injured list merely with COVID-like symptoms, however, which appears to be what's going on here per C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. If he continues to avoid a positive test, he could be back within the next few days, but if he tests positive for the virus he'd likely miss more time.

Kyle Farmer - Leading off SaturdayFarmer is starting at shortstop and leading off Saturday against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ImpactIt's no surprise that Farmer is in the lineup, as he's started every game this season. However, his presence atop the order is significant given that he has primarily hit eighth across his first eight appearances. With southpaw Julio Urias on the mound and Jonathan India (hamstring) sidelined, Farmer will get his chance to lead off.

Jonathan India - Absent from Saturday's lineupIndia (hamstring) is not in Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ImpactThere was cautious optimism that India would return Saturday after exiting Thursday's game with a hamstring injury. That is some indication that he will avoid a stint on the injured list, though he's now in line to miss his second consecutive contest. Brandon Drury will start at second base and hit eighth in India's absence.

Nick Senzel - Remains outSenzel (illness) is out of the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ImpactSenzel remains out for the fourth consecutive game, but he was reportedly available off the bench Friday and the same could be true Saturday. That likely means he'll avoid a stint on the injured list, though his lingering absence creates doubt. Aristides Aquino has gotten more regular playing time in Senzel's absence, and he'll hit sixth while starting in right field Saturday.

ImpactSmith started the last two games and went 3-for-8 with a homer, four RBI and a strikeout. Austin Barnes will start behind the dish and bat ninth.
