Provides Opening Day homer Votto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Tigers.
Impact Both hits were off lefty Matthew Boyd. Votto had one home run against a left-handed pitcher all of last season (144 plate appearances), so this was an encouraging way to kick off the 2020 campaign for the veteran. He is batting in the two hole ahead of Eugenio Suarez and Nick Castellanos.

Playing outfield in exhibition game Castellanos (back) will bat fifth and play right field in Tuesday's exhibition game against the Tigers.
Impact Castellanos has been dealing with a sore back since getting hit by a pitch in Friday's intrasquad game, but the issue never appeared to be particularly serious. He could be used as a designated hitter early in the year if not considered fully healthy, though his presence in right field Tuesday indicates he'll be set to fill the same role when the regular season kicks off Friday.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos says he's ready to go after scary hit-by-pitch Nick Castellanos revealed Monday how scary the hit-by-pitch he took in Friday’s intrasquad game was: “I couldn’t really feel my arms.”

Not expected to miss time Castellanos (back) is expected to be ready or Opening Day on Friday against the Tigers, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact Castellanos left an intrasquad game Friday after getting hit in the upper back by a pitch and remains day-to-day. Manager David Bell said Monday that he was "pretty confident" that Castellanos would be available for the start of the season, however. The outfielder mentioned previously that part of his reason for joining the Reds this offseason was due to the fact that he doesn't want to be a designated hitter (despite his poor defensive reputation), though he'd presumably be willing to fill that role for a few days at the start of the campaign if he's healthy enough to hit but not take the field.

Day-to-day with back injury Castellanos (back) is day-to-day, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact He was expected to return to action for Sunday's intrasquad game but was having trouble getting loose and is still sore, so he will sit for the second day in a row. If Castellanos is not ready for Opening Day, Phillip Ervin, Mark Payton and Josh VanMeter could be options to see extra playing time.

Still out Sunday Castellanos (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's intrasquad game.
Impact He exited Friday's game and was held out Saturday but was expected to return to action in this scrimmage, so his absence is noteworthy. It is unclear whether his absence is precautionary or if his back is really ailing him. For now, Castellanos should be considered day-to-day.

To return Sunday Castellanos (back) won't play in Saturday's intrasquad game but is expected to play Sunday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact Castellanos left Friday's intrasquad game after getting struck by a pitch in the upper back. The Reds have maintained that the injury isn't a serious one, and as long as he does indeed return to the field Sunday, his readiness for Opening Day shouldn't be in much doubt.

Issue not believed serious Castellanos (back) returned to the dugout Friday and is believed to be "fine," C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Impact Castellanos exited Friday's intrasquad matchup after he was hit by a pitch in the upper back, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious. He exited the field under his own power, and the team reported that he is fine. Given the lack of concern about the injury, it's unlikely that Castellanos' availability for the start of the regular season would be impacted.
