Stuart Fairchild - Gets fourth consecutive startFairchild will start in left field and bat third in Monday's game against the Padres.

ImpactFairchild will stick in the starting nine for a fourth straight game after going 3-for-9 with a pair of doubles during the Reds' series with the Athletics over the weekend, though it's worth noting that Cincinnati is facing a lefty starting pitcher (Blake Snell) for the third straight game. TJ Friedl, Jake Fraley and Nick Senzel are expected to remain the Reds' preferred starting outfield versus right-handed pitching more often than not.

Henry Ramos - Handling regular roleRamos will start in right field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Padres.

ImpactRamos has now picked up starts in each of the Reds' seven games since his April 24 call-up, and the 32-year-old has likely performed well enough to stick in the starting nine even if Wil Myers (illness) is able to return from the injured list later this week. While serving as a designated hitter or manning right field in his first six starts, Ramos has gone 9-for-22 with a triple, four walks, six runs and three RBI.

T.J. Friedl - Idle against leftyFriedl is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

ImpactThe Reds are facing a southpaw (Blake Snell) for the third straight day, so the lefty-hitting Friedl will once again hit the bench along with fellow lefty-hitting outfielder Jake Fraley. Stuart Fairchild and Henry Ramos will pick up starts in left and right field, respectively.

Kevin Newman - Gets third consecutive startNewman will start at third base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Padres.

ImpactNewman has indirectly benefited from Wil Myers (illness) having recently joined Joey Votto (shoulder) on the injured list. As a result of the absences of Myers and Votto, Steer has shifted across the diamond to log more time at first base of late, opening up more work in the infield for Newman in the process. Newman will pick up his third straight start after he went 3-for-8 with a walk, two RBI and a run between the final two games of the Reds' weekend series in Oakland.

Jake Fraley - Sitting versus lefty againFraley is not in the Reds' lineup for Monday's game in San Diego.

ImpactThe Reds are facing a lefty for the third day in a row and Fraley has been on the bench each time. He's made just one start against a left-hander this season. Stuart Fairchild is in left field and Henry Ramos is in right Monday.

Ramón Laureano - Hitting well since IL returnLaureano (groin), activated from the injured list Saturday, went 3-for-7 with a double, a hit-by-pitch and a run over his first two games back in action during the weekend series a...

ImpactLaureano also played a full nine innings in right field during both contests, further corroborating his return to full health. The 28-year-old has put together an encouraging start at the plate after posting a career-low .211 average, .287 on-base percentage and .663 OPS in 2022, as his weekend production pushed his season slash line to a respectable .242/.319/.452 across 69 plate appearances.
