  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Sits out due to illness

    Rotowire

    Encarnacion-Strand did not play Wednesday due to illness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Spencer Steer replaced him at first base.

    It had earlier been reported that Encarnacion-Strand was merely resting -- his first day off of the season -- but Cincinnati manager David Bell confirmed the illness. Bell didn't provide specifics on the symptoms but indicated Encarnacion-Strand wasn't feeling well in advance of the three-game series in Seattle.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Resting for first time in 2024

    Rotowire

    Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle.

    He'll be riding pine for the first time this season while Spencer Steer replaces him at first base and Stuart Fairchild steps in as the Reds' No. 3 hitter. Before an 0-for-4 showing in Tuesday's 3-1 loss, Encarnacion-Strand had delivered exactly two hits in four of his preceding six starts.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Homers, drives in four

    Rotowire

    Encarnacion-Strand went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and four RBI during Sunday's win over the White Sox.

    Encarnacion-Strand's two-run shot came in the third inning and opened the scoring for the Reds. He later added a two-run single to close out a four-run seventh. The homer marked Encarnacion-Strand's second of the season and first since March 31 as he broke an eight-game string without an extra-base hit. He's hitting a paltry .185 on the season and has tallied just one walk, though he's accumulated six hits among three multi-hit games over his last five as he's showing signs of breaking out of his early-season funk.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Drives in three runs

    Rotowire

    Encarnacion-Strand went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored in Friday's win over the White Sox.

    Encarnacion-Strand brought home a run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and later added a two-run single in the eighth. The slugging righty has multiple hits in two of his last three games as he continues to search for his groove. He's gone seven straight games without an extra-base knock and currently owns a .454 OPS.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Logs two hits in loss

    Rotowire

    Encarnacion-Strand went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to the Brewers.

    Encarnacion-Strand is fighting a slump and entered the night with a .136 average after a 1-for-20 stretch. Cincinnati needs better from the player that bats third in the order. The silver lining is that Encarnacion-Strand's underlying numbers indicate some bad luck (.206 BABIP). His average stands at .163 following Tuesday's two-hit night, but Statcast has him at an expected average of .245.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Walks off Nats

    Rotowire

    Encarnacion-Strand went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-5 victory over Washington.

    The Reds made a dramatic comeback in the bottom of the ninth, plating three runs after the first two batters were retired to gain the win. After Will Benson tied the game with a two-run shot, Encarnacion-Strand walked it off with a solo blast. The homer was his first hit after going 0-for-12 to start the season.

  • Reds' Christian Encarnacion-Strand: Belts fourth spring homer

    Rotowire

    Encarnacion-Strand started at third base and went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's spring game against the White Sox.

    Encarnacion-Strand belted his fourth Cactus League homer and is 12-for-41 (.293) with eight extra-base hits and 12 RBI through 13 games. While he started at the hot corner Wednesday, and third baseman Noelvi Marte (suspension) will miss the first 80 games of the season, Encarnacion-Strand is still expected to be the team's everyday first baseman. Jeimer Candelario will be the primary third baseman to open the season.
