Reds' Rhett Lowder: Saddled with tough-luck loss
Lowder (1-2) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk across 5.1 innings against the Twins. He struck out five.
Lowder entered the sixth with a one-run lead but was pulled after having allowed two batters to reach base with one out in the inning. Each of those baserunners later came around to score, saddling Lowder with two additional earned runs and handing him a tough-luck defeat. The 22-year-old rookie has been highly effective across four starts since earning the call from Triple-A, having allowed just one earned run prior to the three runs allowed Sunday. An encouraging trend is that he's also kept the walks in check, having allowed just one over his last two starts after allowing eight over his first two appearances. He's currently set up to make his next start in a home matchup against the Pirates.

Reds' Will Benson: Not starting Sunday
Benson (finger) is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Twins.
Benson is not starting for a third straight game after sustaining an injury to his left middle finger during Thursday's game against the Cardinals. He did enter Saturday's game against the Twins in the bottom of the seventh inning in right field, and he hit an RBI single in the eighth frame. Benson will likely be available out of the dugout for Sunday's series finale, and with the Reds scheduled for an off-day Monday, the 26-year-old could return to the lineup for Cincinnati's upcoming home series against Atlanta.

Reds' Noelvi Marte: Drives in two in win
Marte went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over Minnesota.
Marte, whose ground-rule double plated two during the Reds' nine-run fourth inning, entered the contest with just one RBI over the previous 13 games. Not much has gone right for him since returning from an 80-game suspension, and recently he's lost playing time to Santiago Espinal. Marte's played just seven of 13 games thus far in September.

Reds' Spencer Steer: Sets new high for RBI
Steer went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Twins.
All of Steer's activity occurred during the Reds' nine-run fourth inning. He led off the frame with a walk and scored the first run, then doubled in a pair before trotting home on TJ Friedl's home run. The two runs driven in established a new single-season career high of 88 RBI and were the first in 10 games for Steer, who entered the contest with just three RBI over the previous 17 games. Despite the recent lack of run production, Steer remains Cincinnati's leader in the category.

Reds' Jeimer Candelario: Could be done for season
Candelario (toe) is unlikely to return and finish the season, MLB.com reports.
Candelario, who was hit by a pitch during a game Aug. 18, landed on the injured list a couple of days later and has yet to resume baseball activities. Cincinnati manager David Bell said Saturday that it looks like Candelario will not be back this season, adding there is still pain in the toe. If that's it for Candelario, he'll finish his first season as a member of the Reds with 20 home runs, 56 RBI, four steals, 47 runs scored and a line of .225/.279/.429 over 112 games.

Reds' Nick Martinez: Picks up ninth win
Martinez (9-6) earned the win Saturday against the Twins, pitching six innings and allowing one run on three hits. He struck out six and did not issue a walk.
Martinez stayed hot on the mound with another impressive showing and lowered his ERA to 3.37 for the season. Martinez shut down Atlanta with seven scoreless innings in his last start, and he's now won three consecutive starts. The veteran right-hander was moved into the rotation Aug. 5 and has earned his spot by allowing one run or fewer in six of his nine starts in that span.

Reds' Jake Fraley: Smacks fifth home run
Fraley went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Twins.
Fraley continued a recent hot stretch at the plate since returning from a stint on the injured list due to a knee injury. After hitting 15 homers last season, Fraley has struggled in the power department with just five home runs in 2024, though he has two over his last 13 games. The 29-year-old has started each of the Reds last 13 games and has a hit in 11 of those games with a .333 batting average in that span. Fraley picked up his fifth three-hit game of the season and raised his batting average to .280 in the process.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Four hits, homer in win
Friedl went 4-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Twins.
After a three-hit game Friday against the Twins, Friedl followed it up with four hits in Saturday's win. It was Friedl's first four-hit game this season and the second overall in his career. Friedl has homered in back-to-back games and now has 13 for the season with five RBI and four runs scored in his last two games. The 29-year-old has dealt with multiple injuries this season, but he's been healthy and playing regularly since the end of July and has nine homers and 37 RBI in his last 45 games.

Reds' Will Benson: Sitting again Saturday
Benson (finger) isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday versus Minnesota.
Benson will be missing his second game in a row since he left Thursday's game after getting hit in the fingers by a pitch during a bunt attempt. While he continues to heal, Spencer Steer, TJ Friedl and Jake Fraley will form the Reds' outfield trio Saturday.

Reds' Nick Martini: Begins rehab assignment
Martini (thumb) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
Martini had originally been targeting Tuesday as the start date for his assignment, so it's possible the 34-year-old is ahead of schedule in his recovery. It's unclear how many games he will play in the minors, though there's still a good chance he rejoins the Reds before the end of the season.

Reds' Julian Aguiar: Nabs win with quality start
Aguiar (2-0) picked up the win Friday, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings in an 8-4 victory over the Twins. He struck out four.
The rookie right-hander delivered his second career quality start on 86 pitches (57 strikes) but Aguiar was locked in a 1-1 pitchers' duel with Bailey Ober until the Reds erupted for six runs in the top of the seventh, securing the win for the 23-year-old. Through his first six big-league outings, Aguiar carries a 4.88 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB. He lines up for his next trip to the mound at home next week against Atlanta.

Reds' Elly De La Cruz: Grand slam in win
De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a grand slam home run in Friday's 8-4 win over Minnesota.
De La Cruz broke open a close game in the seventh inning with the slam, his first as a major leaguer, and his 24th home run of the season. The dynamic De La Cruz has managed to make an impact this month despite batting .205 over 12 games. During that stretch, he has seven walks, five extra-base hits, eight RBI, three stolen bases and seven runs scored.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Contributes to win
Friedl went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-4 win over the Twins.
Friedl put the Reds up early with a second-inning home run, his 12th long ball of the season. He later brought in a run on a bunt single and another run on a traditional single. Friedl's made an impact this month with 11 RBI over 12 games in September.

Reds' Matt McLain: Not expected back in 2024
McLain (shoulder/rib) is unlikely to return before the end of the season, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Manager David Bell noted Friday that McLain has started swinging a bat again, but there simply aren't enough games left on the schedule for him to realistically rejoin the Reds. The 25-year-old infielder has been held out of action all season while recovering from shoulder surgery and a stress reaction in his rib cage, and it now seems he'll turn his focus to getting ready for spring training.

Reds' Will Benson: On bench Friday
Benson (finger) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.
Benson was removed from Thursday's game after being hit in the finger by a pitch while attempting a bunt. X-rays on his middle finger came back negative, but he'll get Friday off to recover. Spencer Steer, TJ Friedl and Jake Fraley fill the outfield from left to right.
