The Cincinnati Reds face the Los Angeles Angels in the opener of a 3-game set at Angel Stadium in Anaheim Monday.
The Reds want Noelvi Marte in right field every day. He has earned that with his bat and will (hopefully) improve with his outfield defense. So then left field is between Andujar, Austin Hays, Benson, and Gavin Lux. As long as we mostly see Hays and Andujar rotating DH and left field for the rest of the season, then this move sort of makes sense.
CINCINNATI — Austin Hays’ single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning gave the Cincinnati Reds a 3-2 victory over Milwaukee on Sunday, ending the Brewers’ franchise-record winning streak at 14 games.
Miguel Andujar hit a grand slam and Hunter Greene pitched six sharp innings as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies.
Since the All-Star break, their batting average actually ranks 13th in Major League Baseball, and their on-base percentage ranks 10th. However, they rank 27th in OPS, 29th in slugging, and dead last in ISO (isolated power).
