Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Debuts for Triple-A clubEncarnacion-Strand (back) has gone 4-for-13 with a home run a double, a walk, two RBI and three runs scored in three games since he was activated from Triple-A Louisville's 7-day i...
ImpactThough his back injury first cropped up in February, Encarnacion-Strand turned heads in the Cactus League while playing at less-than-optimal health before the Reds optioned him to minor-league camp in mid-March. Encarnacion-Strand's regular-season debut was delayed mainly for precautionary reasons while he dealt with a slight herniation in his back, but the 23-year-old should play on a near-everyday basis at Triple-A now that he's been activated. He won't strictly be limited to the designated-hitter role, either, as he's already made two of his three starts at first base.

Lucas Sims - Earns win in reliefSims (1-0) blew the save but picked up the win Wednesday against Texas. He struck out two over a scoreless inning.
ImpactSims came on in relief in the ninth inning after Ian Gibault departed with runners on first and second and no outs. He'd allow a sacrifice fly to Brad Miller, tieing the game 3-3, before recording a pair of strikeouts to avoid further damage. Sims has made four appearances this season without allowing a run, striking out four in 3.2 innings. Sims is arguably the Reds' best option in the bullpen behind Alexis Diaz, though he doesn't have a clear path towards fantasy relevance.
