Rodriguez allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Tuesday.

Rodriguez pitched into the seventh inning for the second start in a row, but he left with the game tied at 4-4. The veteran southpaw has alternated between good and mediocre starts since the All-Star break, allowing 17 runs across 36.1 innings over his six outings in that span. He's walked at least three batters in four of those starts. Rodriguez is at a 5.40 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 115:46 K:BB through 116.2 innings across 22 starts. His next outing is projected to be a tough one in Milwaukee, and given his volatility overall this year, he'll be tough to trust for that game.

Adell went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.

Adell lifted his homers in the seventh and eighth innings, with the latter long ball tying the game briefly at 4-4. The outfielder has gone deep three times over his last three games. He's up to 28 homers, 78 RBI, 49 runs scored and three stolen bases over 119 contests. Adell is still batting just .233, but his .777 OPS is easily the best mark of his career.

Hendricks allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Tuesday.

Hendricks was in line for the loss when he exited, but the Angels' offense was able to get him off the hook in the late innings. In August, Hendricks has allowed 13 runs over 19.1 innings while posting a 15:8 K:BB, and he remains winless over his four starts this month. He's at a 4.93 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 85:34 K:BB through 126 innings over 24 starts this season. The veteran right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Rangers.

Andujar went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Angels.

Andujar sat out Monday's series opener after his eight-game hitting streak ended Sunday against the Brewers. The 30-year-old resumed his hot hitting Tuesday, plating a run in the fourth and fifth innings. He's batting .395 (17-for-43) over 14 games since he was traded to the Reds from the Athletics. Andujar is now at a .314/.351/.475 slash line with nine home runs, 38 RBI, 31 runs scored and one stolen base across 74 contests on the year.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Angels.

Marte has logged four straight multi-hit efforts and has hit safely in 10 straight games. During the streak, he's gone 19-for-43 (.442) with three homers, six doubles and 11 RBI. He's been one of the Reds' most consistent hitters since returning from an oblique injury early in July. Marte is now slashing .302/.336/.527 with 10 homers, 39 RBI, 29 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 57 contests this season.

Santillan struck out two over a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Angels.

Emilio Pagan pitched Saturday and Sunday, but he's been held out of save opportunities Monday and Tuesday. Santillan got the job done on 12 pitches Tuesday after Scott Barlow converted the save Monday. Santillan has had mixed results in August, allowing three runs over 7.2 innings with a 9:6 K:BB, though he's also picked up five holds and a blown save. He remains in the high-leverage mix, and if the Reds' bullpen becomes a committee, that would likely increase his save share. For the season, Santillan has a 2.79 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 57:22 K:BB with four saves and 27 holds across 58 innings.

Jansen said after Tuesday's loss to the Reds that he's dealing with "something physical" but declined to disclose the nature of the issue, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

When asked if he would miss any time, Jansen said, "Just gonna take it day by day and see where we're at." Jansen took the loss against the Reds on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one over one inning. Just 11 of his 22 pitches in the top of the ninth were thrown for strikes. Reid Detmers would be a candidate for saves should Jansen need to miss any action.

Greene allowed three runs on six hits and struck out 12 without walking a batter over 6.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Tuesday.

Greene filled up the strike zone, throwing 74 of 98 pitches for strikes in his second start back from a groin injury. The right-hander's workload Tuesday suggests he's clear for a full workload moving forward. The 12 strikeouts matched his season high, and this was his seventh quality start in 13 outings. Greene is at a 2.63 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 91:14 K:BB through 72 innings. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Dodgers.

Woods Richardson (illness) is scheduled to pitch four innings Thursday for Triple-A St. Paul, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Woods Richardson will make his second rehab start after having a procedure earlier this month to remove a parasite from his digestive tract. He threw two innings Friday for St. Paul. If all goes well Thursday, he'll likely be activated from the injured list and make his next start in the majors.

Ortiz exited Tuesday night's game against the Cubs after fouling a pitch off his knee, and manager Pat Murphy said Ortiz won't play Wednesday versus Chicago, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

X-rays on Ortiz's knee came back negative, so he should be considered day-to-day. On top of the knee issue, Ortiz was also dealing with a stomach bug Tuesday. Andruw Monasterio could fill in at shortstop in place of Ortiz on Wednesday.
