29 Ryan Hanigan, C

Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan entered Saturda against the Phillies with two RBI in 52 at-bats, a total he more than doubled with one swing.

Hanigan hit a three-run home run in the second inning off Phillies' starter Kyle Kendrick, his first of the season. He added a walk and a run scored to finish 1 for 3 in a 10-0 win.

Hanigan is batting .164 with five RBI in 55 at-bats. 

Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan said he had no issues with his strained left oblique or right thumb injury during his return to the lineup Friday against the Brewers. Hanigan, who had been sidelined since April 19 with his injuries, went 2 for 4 with a pair of singles in his first game back in action and also made a diving catch on a Jean Segura sacrifice bunt attempt.

"Good start [to] get things going in the right direction," Hanigan told MLB.com. "I feel better, so I think I'm going to have more of a chance now, and it's a lot more confident swing when you're not distracted by pain and stuff like that."

Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan had a productive return to the lineup Friday against the Reds. Hanigan, who was activated off the 15-day disabled list earlier in the day, collected a pair of singles in the 4-3 win.

He also made a diving catch on a Jean Segura sacrifice bunt attempt and finished 2 for 4 at the plate.

Hanigan is batting .119/.208/.119 with two RBI over 42 at-bats.

The Reds have activated catcher Ryan Hanigan from the disabled list, the club announced Friday.

Hanigan has been out since April with a strained oblique. Devin Mesoraco hasn't been impressive in his absence -- hitting .226/.324/.339 in 21 games -- so Hanigan could have the opportunity to win back the starting job, although he was hitting .079/.182/.079 before the injury.
