Reynolds (quadriceps) has gone 2-for-9 with four walks, two RBI and a run through his first three games at Triple-A Louisville this season.

Though dual quad strains suffered early in spring training kept Reynolds from making a serious run at a spot on the Reds' Opening Day roster, he was at least able to heal in time to be ready to go for the start of the minor-league season. He's appeared in three of Louisville's first four games and should occupy a near-everyday role while he remains with the Reds' top affiliate.

Newman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Newman will take a seat for the day game after a night game, allowing Jose Barrero (hamstring) to get a turn at shortstop. While starting in each of the previous four contests, Newman went 3-for-15 with a home run and four RBI.

Vosler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's loss against the Cubs.

Make it three consecutive games with a homer for Vosler, who had four long balls all of last season (a career high). He also had a triple in the opener, so Vosler is slugging a cool 1.113 in the early going. The 29-year-old is doing his best Brandon Drury impression and the Reds figure to ride with Vosler's hot bat in the starting lineup for the time being, at least against right-handed pitching.

Wisdom (wrist) went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 win over the Reds.

Wisdom took a pitch to his left wrist Monday, but he didn't miss any time and looked fine at the plate Tuesday. The 31-year-old has so far seen time at third base and in right field, and it looks like he could rotate between the two positions but ultimately see regular playing time. Wisdom popped 53 home runs over the past two seasons, so he can be a fantasy factor while he's in the lineup.

Anderson went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and six RBI during Tuesday's 9-0 win against the Mets.

The 29-year-old delivered his first long ball of the season in Monday's blowout victory over New York, and he connected again twice to power Milwaukee's offense Tuesday. Anderson hit just eight home runs in 98 games for the Marlins last season, but he's off to a hot start with the Brewers in 2023 with a 1.779 OPS through 15 at-bats.

Segura went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Twins.

The veteran infielder lined a two-out single up the middle in the second inning, then promptly swiped his first bag of the season. Segura stole 13 bases in 19 attempts last season, and the 33-year-old could be a player who benefits from MLB's rule changes to boost the running game; however, first he'll need to start getting on base more frequently -- he's just 2-for-18 (.111) at the plate through the first five games of the year.

Baty is scheduled to undergo imaging tests Wednesday after injuring his right thumb in a game Tuesday with Triple-A Syracuse, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

It's ominous news given that the 23-year-old top prospect required surgery for a torn ligament in that same thumb last September. This latest issue is being called right thumb soreness for now, but the imaging scans will paint a fuller picture. Baty was challenging for starting third base duties this spring in Mets camp before Eduardo Escobar ultimately claimed the gig. The former has gotten off to a strong start to the season at Triple-A, going 5-for-14 with two home runs and a stolen base in three contests.

Machado was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks for arguing an automatic third-strike call in the first inning.

Machado tried to call time as the pitch clock ticked down, but the request was denied and then he quickly got the heave-ho after voicing his displeasure with home plate umpire Ron Kulpa. He was starting at DH for the Padres in their matinee tilt versus Arizona and finished 0-for-1 with a strikeout. Nelson Cruz entered in his place.

Wisdom (wrist) is starting at third base and batting sixth for the Cubs on Tuesday night against the Reds.

Wisdom took a pitch off his left wrist in Monday's series opener versus Cincinnati, but he finished out the game and X-rays taken afterward came back clean. All is well for the 31-year-old, who has already slugged two homers in 13 plate appearances this season.

Riley went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

He set the tone for the night with a blast to left field in the first inning that was measured at 473 feet. It was Riley's first homer of the season, but there should be many more coming for the 26-year-old third baseman after he launched a combined 71 over the prior two years while driving in exactly 200 runs.
