Swipes bag in loss Farmer went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

Impact After his sixth-inning steal against the battery of Sean Newcomb and Travis d'Arnaud, Farmer is already halfway to his 2021 stolen base total. Adding a speed element would make Farmer much more interesting from a fantasy standpoint. He's otherwise a modest contributor, even with near-everyday playing time.

Reaches deal for 2022 Farmer agreed to a one-year, $3.155 million contract with the Reds on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Farmer appeared in 147 games for Cincinnati last year and hit .263/.316/.416 with 16 home runs, 60 runs and 63 RBI in 529 plate appearances. The 31-year-old is poised to open the 2022 campaign as the Reds' primary shortstop.

Shortstop Barrero, starter Castillo among injured Reds

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell says shortstop José Barrero will have hand surgery and will be sidelined for about six weeks

MARCH 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Starting shortstop role solidified Farmer remains entrenched as the Reds' starting shortstop with Jose Barrero out for six weeks with a wrist issue, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's possible, maybe even likely, that Farmer will remain the starter at shortstop even when Barrero is healthy enough to play. In previous camps he'd get work at multiple positions in anticipation of being a utility player, but this year he's exclusively getting reps at shortstop.

Enters camp atop SS depth chart Farmer enters camp as the Reds' starting shortstop, but Jose Barrero can "force the issue," according to manager David Bell, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Farmer, who played through a sports hernia injury over the second half of last season, was worth 1.6 fWAR in 147 games, largely due to his strong defense. He hit .263/.316/.416 on the year, good for a career-best 91 wRC+. Given the direction of the franchise, the Reds will likely turn to the younger Barrero at some point, if not right out of the gate, unless Farmer tops his 2021 production.

Impact So far the Reds have not signed one of the many quality free agent shortstops out there, nor is it anticipated that they will do so. Farmer still has to beat out Jose Barrero for the job, if the Reds don't opt to put Barrero in center field first.

Done for season Farmer (abdomen) will not play in either of the Reds' final two games, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Farmer was held out of Saturday's lineup due to an abdominal strain, and it was later revealed that he would also be sidelined Sunday. He'll close the season with a .263/.316/.416 line to go along with 16 home runs, 63 RBI and 60 runs scored. Jose Barrero starts in Farmer's place at shortstop while hitting sixth Saturday, and he may get another chance to start Sunday.

Not starting Saturday Farmer (oblique) isn't starting Saturday's game against Pittsburgh.

Impact Farmer tweaked his oblique ahead of Friday's series opener, and manager David Bell acknowledged that the injury could keep the 31-year-old sidelined for the remainder of the year. Jose Barrero will take his place at shortstop and bat sixth Saturday.

Scratched from Friday's lineup Farmer was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Pirates due to left abdominal soreness, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Farmer had recorded hits in five of his last six appearances, but he's apparently dealing with an abdominal issue. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Jose Barrero will step in at shortstop and bat seventh.
