The Reds placed Senzel on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a fractured toe on his left foot.

Senzel sustained the season-ending injury in the Reds' loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday, when he barreled into the outfield wall while trying to make a play on a fly ball. The broken toe is yet another cruel twist of fate for Senzel, who has missed extensive time since first reaching the big leagues in 2019 and hasn't logged more than 410 plate plate appearances in any of his four seasons. Even though Senzel had just started to make strides at the plate over his final six games, he'll still finish with a lowly .231/.297/.306 slash line across 109 games. Senzel should be fully healed for spring training, but he may not be guaranteed an everyday role when the 2023 season begins.

Anderson isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Anderson has gone 0-for-8 with a run, a walk and two strikeouts over his last three games and will head to the bench for a second consecutive matchup. Jon Berti is starting in left field and leading off.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader split with Arizona.

Muncy didn't play in the first game of the twin bill but started at third base in the nightcap. He accounted for both Los Angeles runs with a two-run shot to right field in the sixth inning. Muncy has at least one hit in 13 of his 15 games in September and is slashing .305/.388/.627 with five homers, 14 RBI and 14 runs this month.

Newman went 2-for-5 with a stolen base Tuesday against the Yankees.

Newman made his first start since Sept. 14 after an absence caused by an undisclosed issue. He extended his hitting streak to five games in his return to the lineup and also managed to swipe his seventh base of the season. Though he's maintained a respectable .275 average across 273 plate appearances this season, Newman still has just a .298 wOBA and 90 wRC+.

Castro went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Yankees.

Castro took Clay Holmes deep with two runners on base to put Pittsburgh up 8-4 in the eighth inning before Wil Crowe blew the game in the bottom of the ninth. The 23-year-old has reached base safely in all but four games since the beginning of September but is batting just .208 in 72 at-bats during that stretch. On the bright side, he has knocked in 14 batters in those games while hitting in the middle of the Pittsburgh lineup. He could be a good source of RBI in the final weeks of the season.

Senzel sustained a fractured toe Tuesday against the Red Sox and will miss the rest of the season, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old suffered the injury Tuesday when he collided with the outfield wall as he attempted to make a running catch, and it will end his 2022 campaign a few weeks early. The oft-injured Senzel played in a career-high 110 games this season and posted a .231/.296/.306 slash line with five home runs, 25 RBI, 45 runs and eight stolen bases.

Senzel left Tuesday's game against Boston early after a hard crash into the outfield wall, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Senzel ran into the center field wall trying to catch a fly ball and immediately fell to the ground after doing so. He attempted to run after being examined by a trainer but couldn't do it and was forced to leave the game. More updates will come as we learn more about his status.

Peterson isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets.

Peterson will step out of the lineup after going 2-for-12 with two RBI over his last five games. Luis Urias will take his spot at third base and bat fourth.

Newman (undisclosed) is starting at designated hitter and batting sixth Tuesday against the Yankees.

He missed almost a week with an undisclosed issue, but Newman re-enters the fold for a two-game series in New York. The righty-hitting infielder is hitting .207 with zero extra-base hits and one steal in 10 games this month.

Anderson is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson is hitting .194 with two home runs in 17 games this month. Jon Berti is starting in left field and leading off.
