Gets second start of series Casali will start at catcher and will bat ninth Wednesday against the Pirates.
Impact He'll be behind the dish for the second time in the series while top backstop Tucker Barnhart rests. Barnhart's greater familiarity with the Cincinnati pitching staff and his ability to control the run game may be enough to maintain his spot atop the depth chart, but if the 24-26 Reds fade from the playoff race during the final week of the season, manager David Bell could hand more starts to Casali or Tyler Stephenson.

Pops third homer Casali went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a hit-by-pitch in a 5-0 win over the Royals in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.
Impact Casali went deep in the sixth inning off Royals reliever Gabe Speier to produce the Reds' final run of the contest. The long ball was Casali's third of the year to go with three RBI and five runs scored across 40 plate appearances. Expect the 31-year-old to see little playing time as Tucker Barnhart makes most of the starts at catcher.

Sitting in second game Barnhart isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Tigers.
Impact Barnhart went 2-for-3 with one strikeout in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader. However, Curt Casali will get the nod at catcher for Game 2, batting fifth.
AUGUST 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Benched in third straight Casali is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Tigers.
Impact After starting behind the dish in each of the Reds' first five games, Casali has predictably taken a back seat since Tucker Barnhart was activated from the paternity list Tuesday. Though Casali will be on the bench for a third straight contest, he'll likely catch in the second game of the doubleheader later in the day.

Remains productive Casali went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Cubs.
Impact Casali homered in the eighth inning off Casey Sadler, his second home run of the campaign. He's gotten consistent playing time early this season, but Tucker Barnhart was activated from the paternity list Tuesday. As a result, Casali will likely see his playing time decrease significantly.

Not starting Tuesday Barnhart is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Impact Although Barnhart was activated from the paternity list Tuesday, he won't start against the Cubs. Curt Casali will start behind the dish and bat ninth.

Fourth straight start Casali will start at catcher and bat ninth Monday against the Cubs.
Impact Casali is picking up his fourth start behind the dish in as many days while top backstop Tucker Barnhart (personal) remains on the paternity list. He's slugged a home run and reached base at a .417 clip through the Reds' first three games, but Casali will lose nearly all of his fantasy value once Barnhart is back in the fold.

Joins big-league roster Stephenson was added to the 30-man roster Sunday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 23-year-old will replace Mike Moustakas (illness) on the roster, who was placed on the injured list Sunday. Tucker Barnhart (paternity) is away from the team, but Stephenson is still unlikely to see significant opportunities with Curt Casali and Kyle Farmer still on the roster.
