Reds' Kevin Newman: Playing first base Tuesday

Newman is starting at first base and batting seventh Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Newman might get dinged a bit on playing time with the arrival of top prospect Elly De La Cruz, but the Reds will keep the veteran infielder in the mix Tuesday versus the Dodgers and right-hander Tony Gonsolin. De La Cruz is at third base in his MLB debut. Spencer Steer will play left field.
