TY FRANCE NEWS

Taking seat Sunday France is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Though the Reds have two everyday spots available in the lineup with Jake Fraley (knee) and Jeimer Candelario (toe) landing on the injured list, France has still found himself squeezed out of the starting nine on occasion. He'll be on the bench for the second time in three matchups with right-handed pitching, as the Reds are making room in the lineup for new acquisitions Dominic Smith and Amed Rosario at the expense of France. Since being acquired by Cincinnati in late July, France is slashing .239/.284/.433 with three home runs, seven RBI and seven runs through 21 games.

Impact France will get a breather during Thursday's series opener after going 2-for-11 with two RBI and two runs scored in Cincinnati's last series against Toronto. The newly signed Dominic Smith will get the nod to start at first base while Jonathan India serves as the DH, allowing Santiago Espinal to cover second.

Impact France will get a breather Sunday after going 3-for-6 across the first two games of the series. Spencer Steer will man first base and bat third against Royals right-hander Brady Singer.

Getting evening off France is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact France will get a respite for the series finale after he went 4-for-17 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run while starting each of the last five games at either first base or designated hitter. Spencer Steer will get the nod at first base Wednesday, while Jeimer Candelario serves as the Reds' DH.

Sitting Thursday France isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

Impact France will get a breather Thursday after going 6-for-26 with two homers through his first seven games as a Red. Spencer Steer will get the starting nod at first base instead while Will Benson covers left field.

Homers in win France went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-2 win over Miami.

Impact France answered the Marlins' two-run bottom of the fourth inning with a leadoff homer in the fifth. It was the second home run in as many games for France, who made a fifth consecutive start at first base. It appears he's settling in as the club's primary first baseman, regardless of which starter is on the mount. During his five-start run, the first three were against left-handers while the last two against righties.

Connects first homer with Reds France went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-3 win over the Marlins.

Impact France was part of the Reds onslaught against the Marlins on Monday, blasting one of four homers by the group. It was his first homer as a member of the Reds in his fifth game since joining them. The veteran was designated for assignment by Seattle after managing a .662 OPS through 88 games and was 1-for-12 thus far in Cincinnati, so today's showing was a welcome sight.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Draws fourth straight start France will start at first base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact France will make a fourth consecutive start at first base, though he'll be facing off against a right-hander (Logan Webb) on Monday after his previous three starts came versus lefties. He's gotten off to a slow start to his time with the Reds, recording just one hit in 12 at-bats. While France looks fairly secure as the Reds' primary first baseman against left-handed pitching, his spot in the lineup versus righties might be on shakier ground. He could lose work against righties once the lefty-hitting Will Benson (personal) is reinstated from the paternity list.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Make first start for new team France started at first base and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Giants.

Impact France made his first start for the Reds since he was acquired earlier in the week. With Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) done for the season, first base has become a rotation involving Jeimer Candelario, Spencer Steer and France.

AUGUST 3 • ROTOWIRE

Makes debut for Reds France entered Wednesday's game in the eighth inning and went 0-for-1 in a 13-4 loss to the Cubs.

Impact France made his debut for the Reds, playing the final two innings at first base. He was acquired by the Reds on Monday, presumably to be a starter at first base, but he was not used Tuesday or Wednesday despite being in the team's dugout. Cincinnati returns to action Friday against the Giants.

Lands in Cincinnati The Reds acquired France and cash considerations from the Mariners on Monday in exchange for Andruw Salcedo.

Impact France had been designated for assignment by Seattle after managing just a .662 OPS through 88 games. However, he's landed in about as good of a situation as possible with Great American Ball Park as his new home and regular at-bats seemingly available. France is under team control for 2025, as well, but even if he finishes strong he'll be a non-tender candidate.

Impact France was placed on waivers Sunday and went unclaimed. He'll now have the option to accept an outright assignment to the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate or decline the assignment and elect free agency. Although France is having a down year, he has a strong track record of being a starting caliber first baseman and should warrant plenty of interest if he hits the open market.
