Moustakas suffered a shoulder injury Thursday against the Rockies but will be back in the lineup Friday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Moustakas exited in the fifth inning with the injury, though there was no concern about his status moving forward. He should be ready to return to the middle of the Reds' lineup to complete the team's weekend series at Coors Field.

Moustakas was removed from Thursday's game and was having his finger looked at, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Moustakas exited in the fifth inning, though it's not clear how he picked up the potential injury. Alex Blandino replaced him at first base.

Senzel exited Thursday's contest against the Rockies with a heel contusion.

Senzel appeared to injure himself after running into the wall in the first inning. He remained in the game for another frame before being pulled but appears to have avoided serious injury. If he is forced to miss further game action, Shogo Akiyama figures to be a potential beneficiary.

Senzel exited Thursday's game against the Rockies with an undisclosed injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Riley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

Riley will exit the lineup for the first time since April 16, breaking a streak of 22 consecutive starts. Ehire Adrianza will step in at the hot corner as a replacement for Riley, who will put a four-game hit streak on hold as he heads to the bench.
