Gurriel (hamstring) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Monday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI single.

Gurriel played seven innings in left field Monday in what was his first game action since he went down with a left hamstring strain nearly three weeks ago. He'll eventually move up to a higher affiliate to continue his rehab and is tracking toward a mid-June return from the 10-day injured list.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Padres.

Marte singled and stole second base in the sixth inning before scoring Cincinnati's second run. He's started three of the last four contests after being recalled from Triple-A Louisville last week and has recorded hits in all three while scoring two runs. The steal was the second for Marte, who recorded one in an earlier stint with the Reds this season and stole 10 bases over 90 games in 2025. Marte raked while in the minors and will be given an opportunity to reclaim a spot in the outfield.

McLain started at shortstop and went 2-for-3 with a double in Monday's 6-2 loss to San Diego.

McLain has hit safely in five of six games in June, going 7-for-18 (.389) with two doubles, three home runs and five RBI during the month. This production has come out of nowhere; he was batting .196 at the end of May and was not in the starting lineup for three of four games prior to Elly De La Cruz (hamstring) landing on the injured list. McLain should continue to get regular run at shortstop with De La Cruz sidelined.

Trevino (hamstring) will make one final rehab appearance for Triple-A Louisville before being activated Friday, MLB.com reports.

Trevino appeared in games June 4 and June 6 but has since stepped away to address personal matters. He'll resume the assignment Wednesday before Friday's expected activation.

Bauers went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Monday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics.

Bauers drove in the first run of Monday's offensive slugfest with an RBI single in the first inning. He'd later contribute in a louder fashion, uncorking a 457-foot, two-run homer in the seventh inning to help chip away at Milwaukee's deficit. Bauers has been nothing short of spectacular through 56 games this season, slashing .286/.381/.531 with 12 homers, 12 doubles, 43 RBI, 38 runs and five stolen bases.

Contreras went 3-for-6 with a three-run home run, two additional runs scored and a walk in Monday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics.

Contreras tallied a pair of hits through the first nine innings but saved his best work for extra innings, as he blasted a 463-foot, three-run homer in the 10th frame. The catcher has now recorded multiple hits in three consecutive games, going 7-for-16 (.438) during that stretch. Overall, Contreras is batting .290 with six homers, 10 doubles, 42 RBI, 37 runs and a stolen base across 60 games in 2026.

Vaughn went 4-for-6 with a home run, two doubles and four total RBI in Monday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics.

Vaughn was a consistent producer in the offensive slugfest at Las Vegas Ballpark. After cranking a 420-foot, two-run homer in the third inning, the first baseman added an RBI double in the fifth before delivering a two-run double in the ninth frame to send the contest to extra innings. Fueled by Monday's performance, Vaughn has gone 11-for-27 (.407) with four extra-base hits, nine RBI and four runs across seven games to begin June. Overall, the 28-year-old is hitting .364 with 12 extra-base hits (two homers), 17 RBI and 14 runs across 96 plate appearances in 2026.

Patrick picked up the save in Monday's 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics. He allowed no hits and an intentional walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

Patrick was called upon to pitch the 12th inning and was able to shut the door on Monday's offensive slugfest. It marked the right-hander's third save of the campaign, as he has been deployed in a variety of roles throughout the season and succeeded to the tune of a 3-2 record, 2.22 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 41:21 K:BB across 52.2 innings (17 appearances). Abner Uribe pitched the 11th inning and picked up the win, while Trevor Megill, who leads the club with eight saves, went unused despite not pitching since Friday.

Harrison did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 2.1 innings in a 15-14 extra-innings win over the Athletics. He struck out four.

Harrison's breakout campaign came to a screeching halt at Las Vegas Ballpark, as the Athletics blasted three homers and chased the southpaw before he could complete three innings. The disastrous outing inflated the 24-year-old's ERA by more than a full run, though the fact that he still owns a 2.72 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 77:18 K:BB with a 7-1 record across 59.2 innings (12 starts) speaks to how dominant he had been prior to Monday. Harrison will look to bounce back in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Phillies.

Varland picked up the save in Monday's 4-3 win over San Francisco. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

With Clayton Beeter recording four outs between the seventh and eighth innings, Varland was called upon to handle the ninth frame and worked around a leadoff walk to Rafael Devers and a two-out single by Jung Hoo Lee to secure the win for Washington. It marked Varland's fifth save of the campaign and first since May 7. Overall, the right-hander owns a 4.01 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 24.2 innings. He's in the mix for save opportunities, though Beeter likely sits slightly ahead of Varland in the pecking order.
