The Reds made a handful of moves before tonights series opener with the Rockies. Cincinnati recalled outfield prospect in his first MLB promotion. They also brought up righty reliever from Triple-A Louisville. In corresponding moves Junior Bridgeman Jersey , the Reds optioned right-hander and placed outfielder on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 7) with a spinal disc injury. Hinds is in the starting lineup tonight in right field. Hell hit eighth and likely take his first big league at-bat against Colorado starter . The righty-hitting corner outfielder has been on Cincinnatis 40-man roster since the start of last offseason. The Reds selected his contract to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft. He has been on optional a signment to Louisville all year. Initially drafted as a third base prospect, Hinds was a second-round pick out of high school back in 2019. Evaluators have long been intrigued by the ma sive raw power he packs into a 64 frame, but Hinds stock has dipped since he entered pro ball because of longstanding contact questions. The 23-year-old has punched out in nearly 35% of his plate appearances over parts of five minor league campaigns. Strikeouts have again been a concern this season. Hinds has fanned at an untenable 38.4% clip through 328 trips to the plate in Louisville. While he has connected on 13 home runs, his .216/.290/.409 slash line in Triple-A is below average.

Fairchild has teed off on lefties at a .308/.388/.473 clip over 103 plate appearances, but he hasnt produced at all against right-handed pitching (.127/.188/.203 in 86 PAs). Hes now out for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps contributing to the decision to bring in in a with the Giants. (Fraley is also currently away from the team tending to a family matter.) On the pitching side, Zulueta steps into the bullpen and pushes Ashcraft back to Triple-A. Its the second time this season that the Reds optioned the righty, who opened the year in the rotation. Ashcraft started three times since being recalled on June 26, allowing 10 runs in 15 innings. The Reds could soon welcome back from his stint on the 15-day injured list. Manager David Bell told reporters that rookie right-hander will hold his rotation spot behind Lodolo, , and ( via Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer). In other Reds news, Cincinnati announced that utilityman went unclaimed on waivers. He was outrighted back to Louisville. The Reds designated Jordan for a signment last week when they called up .
