Reds' Castellanos suspended 2 games in Hill's 1st discipline

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos has been suspended for two games and fined for his role in an on-field brawl during the season’s opening weekend

Drives in team's only run Molina went 1-for-2 with an RBI single in a loss to the Reds on Sunday.

Impact The ageless backstop's fifth-inning hit knotted the score at 1-1 before the Reds went on to explode for 11 runs over the following three frames. Molina is slated to split more time behind the dish this season than in years past -- in fact, Andrew Knizner pinch hit for him in the seventh inning Sunday -- but the 38-year-old has already gotten off to a strong start in 2021 by reaching safely in all three games and driving in a pair of runs overall.

Slugs first spring homer Molina went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a Grapefruit League win over the Astros on Friday.

Impact Molina logged a full game behind the dish for the first time this spring, and his sixth-inning blast, which Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports had an exit velocity of 106.9 mph, was his first of Grapefruit League play. The 38-year-old already appears to be in midseason form, hitting .267 (4-for-15) with a double and two walks in addition to Friday's round tripper and pair of RBI.

Solid at plate early Molina is 2-for-6 with a double and a walk across his first three Grapefruit League games heading into Sunday's action against the Astros.

Impact The ageless backstop wasted no time breaking the ice at the plate this spring and appears ready for another productive year entering his age-38/39 season. Molina is likely to split more time than in previous years behind the dish, however, as he's only signed through this season and the organization is aiming to finally give Andrew Knizner a more extensive look as the potential future at catcher after deploying veteran Matt Wieters as Molina's backup the previous pair of campaigns.
