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

Reynolds had started at second base in each of the Reds' last four games, going 3-for-12 with four walks and a run over that stretch. He'll take a seat for the series finale while Brandon Drury picks up the start at the keystone, and Reynolds may be the odd man out for regular playing time in the infield if Joey Votto (illness) is cleared to return from the COVID-19 injured list later this week.

Bregman went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two RBI on Tuesday against the Twins.

Bregman delivered an RBI double in the fifth inning and followed that up with a sacrifice fly one frame later. Across his last six games, he has gone 7-for-19 with three doubles, a home run, six RBI and four runs scored. That performance has raised Bregman's ISO to .214 across 117 plate appearances on the season, a significant improvement over his .152 mark in 2021.

Nevin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals.

Nevin's fourth-inning blast came off Cardinals starter Packy Naughton. This was Nevin's first extra-base hit this season. The utility man is slashing .167/.310/.292 with five RBI, four runs scored and 3:6 BB:K in 29 plate appearances. He doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the lineup, but he could pick up time at third base while Ramon Urias (abdomen) is out.

Devers went 2-for-4 with a grand slam, a double, a walk and two runs in the win over the Braves on Tuesday.

Devers launched a Kyle Wright four-seam fastball 432 feet for a grand slam in the top of the second inning, giving the Red Sox a 6-0 lead. He later added a double in the fourth frame and walked and scored in the ninth. The homer was his fifth of the season and his first in a week. He has reached base in 15 consecutive games, notching a hit in 14 of those contests, raising his batting average from .266 to .315 in the process. Devers' slash line now sits at .315/.346/.508 with five homers, 15 RBI and 18 runs in 124 at-bats over 30 games in 2022.

Urias was held out of Tuesday's lineup against the Cardinals due to abdominal discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

The 27-year-old was scheduled to start Tuesday until feeling the abdominal discomfort during batting practice. Urias will be re-evaluated Wednesday and should be considered day-to-day.

Candelario went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Athletics.

Candelario followed that up with an 0-for-4 effort in the second game, but fantasy managers will welcome the three hits in one day. It's in fact the first three-hit game of the season for the third baseman, who's struggled a bit with a .206 batting average for the year. Candelario is batting .289 this month, however.

Vargas had his contract selected by the Cubs on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The 30-year-old missed out on Chicago's Opening Day roster but will now receive a big-league opportunity after Nick Madrigal (back) was placed on the injured list. Vargas should serve as infield depth while Madrigal is unavailable.

Madrigal was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with lower-back tightness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

According to Montemurro, Madrigal felt the tightness during Monday's contest, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. Ildemaro Vargas will join the big-league club as infield depth in a corresponding move.

Madrigal is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

Madrigal is 0-for-11 over his past four games and will take a seat Tuesday. Jonathan Villar will man the keystone in Madrigal's place.

Urias was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Cardinals for unspecified reasons, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Urias was slated to start at second base but was instead scratched shortly before first pitch. He should be considered day-to-day for now while Chris Owings steps in at the keystone.
