Hayes went 1-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday against the Cubs.

Hayes narrowly missed a home run in the third inning but instead settled for his 10th double of the campaign. He proceeded to immediately steal third base -- his fourth of the season -- and also came around to score. Despite the strong performance, Hayes has only four hits across his last 28 at-bats while producing just two RBI and one run scored in that span.

Sosa was diagnosed with a strained left ankle after leaving Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Sosa went 1-for-2 and suffered the injury when he was caught attempting to steal second base during the fifth inning. It's interesting the injury was announced as a strain rather than a sprain, and he's been labeled day-to-day.

Sosa was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets with an apparent leg injury, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Sosa appeared to suffer the injury when he was caught stealing during the fifth inning, and he initially remained in the contest before being replaced in the field. He should be considered day-to-day since the specifics of the injury are unclear.

Peterson went 0-for-1 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over Atlanta.

While he didn't get the start, Peterson still played a huge role in the Brewers' come-from-behind win. He pinch hit for Mike Brosseau in the ninth inning, drew a walk off Kenley Jansen and then scored the tying run, before crossing the plate with the game-winning run in the 11th on Keston Hiura's walkoff homer. Peterson should be able to keep a consistent role at third base while Luis Urias is covering shortstop for Willy Adames (ankle), and while the veteran utility player is only batting .224 through 87 plate appearances on the year, it comes with three homers, six steals, nine RBI and 16 runs.

Riley went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Brewers.

The third baseman took Corbin Burnes deep in the third to get Atlanta on the board. The blast snapped a 13-game homer drought for Riley, a stretch during which he hit only .157 (8-for-51) with a single RBI. He carries a .799 OPS with eight home runs and 18 RBI through 37 games.

Wisdom isn't starting Wednesday against the Pirates.

Wisdom hit just .111 with a home run, a double, two runs and 10 strikeouts over the last five games, and he'll get a breather after drawing eight consecutive starts. Christopher Morel will start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

Senzel (illness) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Senzel has been on the COVID-19 injured list since May 4, but he's been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. Manager David Bell previously said that the Reds are hopeful Senzel will be able to rejoin the team for the start of the next homestead, which begins May 23 against the Cubs. If that's the case, the 26-year-old should appear in several minor-league games before likely rejoining the big-league club early next week.

Reynolds is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Reynolds will head to the bench after going 0-for-10 with a walk and a stolen base while starting each of Cincinnati's last three games. The Reds will go with Brandon Drury and Kyle Farmer as their starters in the middle infield in the series finale in Cleveland.

Peterson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

With Willy Adames (ankle) moving to the 10-day injured list and Luis Urias likely to take over as the everyday shortstop in the short term, Peterson is expected to occupy the strong side of a platoon at third base. However, with southpaw Max Fried on the hill Wednesday for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Peterson will take a seat in favor of Mike Brosseau.

Escobar went 3-for-7 with a walk and a solo home run across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

After reaching base three times in the matinee, Escobar slugged a solo shot in the fourth inning of the nightcap off Steven Matz. The homer was only his second of the season, and the veteran infielder's production in the twin bill was an encouraging sign after he slashed a brutal .141/.212/.192 with only two RBI over his prior 20 games.
