Wilking Rodríguez - Rehabbing at Triple-ARodriguez (shoulder) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis on Aug. 31 and has struck out five while giving up one unearned run on two hits and one walk in 3.2 innings across...

ImpactA Rule 5 selection over the winter, Rodriguez has spent the entire 2023 campaign on the Cardinals' injured list due to shoulder tightness that eventually required surgery May 3. Though Rodriguez's procedure was initially believed to be season-ending, he made excellent progress in his recovery and resumed throwing off a mound in late July before getting cleared for game action a month later. With the 33-year-old off to a strong start to his rehab assignment, he looks like he could get a chance to join the St. Louis bullpen before season's end and potentially stake a claim to a roster spot heading into 2024.

Tyler O'Neill - Taking seat MondayO'Neill is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Baltimore.

Andrew Knizner - Tallies second stealKnizner went 1-for-3 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Reds.

ImpactKnizner's RBI single in the fourth inning was the only hit for the Cardinals in the contest. The catcher had gone 0-for-17 across his previous five games, dating back to Aug. 25. He's slashing .242/.287/.442 with 10 home runs, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and two steals over 203 plate appearances. Knizner's playing time is likely to remain limited as he works in a backup role to Willson Contreras.

MLB Playoff Watch: What is each contender's biggest weakness?

Andrew Abbott - Won't start WednesdayAbbott will not start for the Reds on Wednesday in Detroit in what would be his next turn in the rotation, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

ImpactAbbott's 153 innings between the majors and minors this season is already 35 frames past his previous career high, and he's looked of late like he might be hitting a wall with a 6.51 ERA over his last eight starts. The Reds currently have TBD listed for Thursday, and it's possible Abbott winds up taking the ball that day. For now, though, his next scheduled start looks to be up in the air.

Connor Phillips - Drawing start WednesdayPhillips will start for the Reds on Wednesday in Detroit, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

ImpactIt's Andrew Abbott's turn, but the Reds will give Abbott at least one extra day of rest amidst his recent struggles. Phillips is an intriguing young arm but struggled in his major-league debut last week against the Mariners, yielding five runs over 4.2 innings.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Brandon Williamson - Slated to return TuesdayWilliamson (COVID-19) will start for the Reds on Tuesday against the Tigers, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

ImpactWilliamson will have gone exactly two weeks between starts, as he's been sidelined while on the COVID-19 injured list. The left-hander had turned in back-to-back quality starts before going on the IL, but he's been up-and-down this season and might not be ready for a full workload Tuesday.
