Luis Cessa - Getting look in rotationCessa will start Monday's game against the Phillies, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

ImpactCessa isn't fully stretched out, but the Reds aren't calling him an opener. Manager David Bell further elaborated that Cessa may have a chance to stick in the rotation beyond Monday, citing his past experience as a starter. However, Cessa has not started multiple games in a campaign since 2018, so the team could also opt to turn back to T.J. Zeuch or give Brandon Williamson a few turns through the rotation prior to the close of the regular season. As a reliever, Cessa has a 5.50 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 28:15 K:BB across 37.2 frames this season.

Jake Fraley - Leading off once againFraley will start in right field and bat leadoff Saturday against the Pirates.

ImpactThis marks Fraley's sixth consecutive start atop the order against right-handed pitching, and he was in the two hole against the last lefty the team faced. Fraley went 0-for-4 in the series opener but is still slashing a healthy .340/.393/.620 with four home runs in 16 games since returning from the injured list. He looks primed to play a prominent role for this stripped-down Reds club over the final six-plus weeks of the season.

Aristides Aquino - On bench again SaturdayAquino remains out of the lineup for the Reds on Saturday

ImpactAquino will miss a second straight start after also sitting out of Friday's loss to the Pirates. In his last six games, Aquino has an OPS of just .428 with three RBI and 10 strikeouts. TJ Friedl will start in left field while Jake Fraley will slide into right for the second game in a row.

T.J. Zeuch - Optioned to Triple-AZeuch was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

ImpactThe decision to send Zeuch down to the minors comes after two starts in which he gave up six runs over four innings both times. This move now leaves the Reds with four starters in their rotation, meaning a replacement for Zeuch is likely to come in the near future.

Buck Farmer - Back from bereavement listFarmer (personal) was reinstated from the bereavement list Saturday.

ImpactWhile his overall numbers leave a lot to be desired (4.67 ERA, 1.44 WHIP), Farmer has been scored upon in just one of his last 11 appearances out of the Cincinnati bullpen. He earned his first career save July 31 and will likely continue to see mid-to-high-leverage opportunities now that he's back on the active roster.

Albert Almora Jr. - Placed on 10-day ILAlmora (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

ImpactAfter making two impressive plays on defense in Friday's loss to Pittsburgh, Almora was diagnosed with a right shoulder contusion and placed on the IL. Almora is currently slashing .200/.357/.289 since August 1.
