Falls short of cycle Monday Farmer went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and five RBI in Monday's 11-1 win over the Phillies.
Impact His two-run shot in the third inning blew the game open and spurred Farmer to a career-best five-RBI day. The 30-year-old infielder snapped an 0-for-14 mini-slump with the performance, but on the season he's hitting only .215 with four homers, 13 runs and 17 RBI through 50 games.

Blasts second homer Saturday Farmer went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Rockies.
Impact Farmer tallied his second three-hit game this week. His home run came in the 11th inning off Ben Bowden to give the Reds a two-run lead. The 30-year-old isn't hitting very well on a day-to-day basis, but he is receiving more playing time due to Joey Votto (thumb) being on the 10-day injured list. Farmer is slashing .241/.337/.337 with two home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs in 95 plate appearances.

Settling in as regular shortstop Farmer will start at shortstop and bat eighth Tuesday against the Pirates.
Impact Joey Votto's (thumb) recent move to the injured list has indirectly opened up an everyday role at shortstop for Farmer. With Mike Moustakas moving across the diamond to cover first base while Votto is out, Eugenio Suarez has shifted over to third base to allow Farmer to step in at shortstop. Farmer will be making his fourth straight start at the position Tuesday, but he shouldn't attract much interest outside of NL-only formats. Farmer is hitting .210/.329/.290 on the season and will likely regularly fill a bottom-third spot in the batting order.

Moves to bench Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Impact With Mike Moustakas recently missing time due to an illness and with Jonathan India (undisclosed) having been moved to the 10-day injured list earlier this weekend, Farmer has benefited from an uptick in work. He drew starts in the infield in four of the past five games, going 4-for-12 while reaching base at a .429 clip over that span. Though Farmer looks like the Reds' top utility infielder, he may not get the chance to play regularly at the keystone while India remains out. Nick Senzel will pick up his second start of the season at second base, and he could eventually settle in as the Reds' primary option at the position if manager David Bell wants to trot out his most potent lineup.

Sitting out Sunday Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Alex Blandino will take over at third base in place of Farmer, who had started seven of the last eight games at the position. Farmer's run of regular reps could soon be coming to an end, as Mike Moustakas (illness) may end up being sidelined for the minimum 10 days on injured list after he was spotted taking part in infield drills Sunday.

Retains everyday role Farmer will start at third base and bat eighth Thursday against the Diamondbacks, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 30-year-old looked like he would be headed back to a bench role after Mike Moustakas was initially cleared to return from a three-game absence ahead of Tuesday's series opener, but the Reds later scratched Moustakas from the lineup and placed him on the 10-day injured list with a non-COVID-19 illness. With Moustakas out of the picture in the short term, Farmer should be a fixture in the starting nine at the hot corner, just as he has been in the past five games. Farmer has thus far contributed three hits -- including a home run -- in 14 at-bats since stepping into the everyday lineup.

Returns to bench Farmer is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Farmer had started at third base in place of Mike Moustakas (illness) in each of the last three games, going 1-for-6 with three walks and a run scored during that time. Moustakas is healthy again following Monday's off day, so Farmer will move back into a bench role for Cincinnati.

Productive spot start With Mike Moustakas out with an illness, Farmer started at third base Friday and got on-base three times. He's getting another start Saturday, batting eighth.
Impact Farmer had a single, walk and got hit by a pitch in four plate appearances. Saturday will mark his fourth start of the season. So far he's hitting .176/.300/.235 in 20 plate appearances.
