Newman signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday that includes and invitation to spring training, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. Newman, 30, spent the 2023 campaign in Cincinnati, slashing .253/.311/.364 with three homers and eight steals in 74 contests. He'll try to win a utility role in Arizona, with most of his playing time perhaps coming versus lefties, against whom Newman posted an .813 OPS last season.... See More ... See Less

Kevin Newman: Let go by Reds
Newman was released by the Reds on Wednesday. Newman had been designated for assignment earlier this week, and he's now officially a free agent. The veteran infielder might have to settle for a minor-league contract this offseason after putting up just a .619 OPS over the last four seasons.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Activated, DFA'd
Newman (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday and designated for assignment. Newman has recovered from his oblique injury after missing more than a month of action, but the Reds no longer see a fit for him on the big-league roster. The 30-year-old will now go through the waiver process and is likely to go unclaimed, given his $2.66 million salary.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Placed on injured list
The Reds placed Newman on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain, retroactive to Aug. 16. Newman was previously on the injured list with an illness in late July, and now an oblique injury will force him out for at least another week. Top prospect Noelvi Marte was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Steals bag in win
Newman started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 win over Miami. Newman swiped second base in the fourth inning but was stranded there. It was his eighth steal in 70 games. He plays a part-time role for the Reds but has experienced a slight uptick in opportunities with Jonathan India (foot) on the injured list. India had been expected to be activated Tuesday, but the Reds pushed his return back to Friday.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Rare start against righty
Newman is starting at second base and batting seventh in Monday's contest versus the Marlins. Eury Perez is taking the ball for Miami, marking the first time since June 18 that Newman has been in the lineup against a right-hander. Matt McLain is receiving a day off.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Makes first appearance off IL
Newman served as a pinch hitter and knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers. Newman pinch hit for Jake Fraley against left-hander Caleb Ferguson and knocked in Elly De La Cruz for the first Cincinnati run. Newman was activated off the injured list last Monday but hadn't appeared in a game since. He's normally in the lineup against southpaws, but the Reds haven't seen a lefty starter since he rejoined the active roster.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Activated from injured list
Newman (illness) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Newman missed the minimum 10 days due to a bout with gastritis. He'll likely go back to playing regularly against left-handed pitching.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Goes on IL with illness
Newman was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with gastritis. The move was retroactive to Friday, so Newman will be eligible for activation July 24, and he should be ready to go by then or shortly after. Newman has been a useful short-side platoon guy this season with a .901 OPS versus lefties.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Batting leadoff
Newman is starting at first base and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Nationals. With the Nats throwing left-hander Patrick Corbin, Newman will be at the top of the order while TJ Friedl slides down to the No. 8 spot. Joey Votto is getting the day off.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Notches steal off bench
Newman went 0-for-1 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta. Newman has gotten on base safely in all but one of his last seven games, and he's added two steals and four RBI in that span. The infielder's playing time is on the decline with the Reds' infield at full health, and he'll likely be confined to a short-side platoon role going forward. Newman has a .266/.325/.380 slash line with three home runs, 26 RBI, 22 runs scored and six steals through 206 plate appearances this season.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: On bench in second straight
Newman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies. Though Newman started in five of the Reds' last seven games, he'll likely be limited to a short-side platoon role moving forward. With Joey Votto's recent return from the 60-day injured list, the Cincinnati infield is looking more crowded these days, and Newman will find himself as the odd man out more often than not.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Losing out on reps
Newman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Newman is on the bench for the second straight game and may be limited to a part-time role moving forward while rookies Elly De La Cruz and Matt McLain have emerged as regulars on the left side of the infield, which has resulted in third baseman Spencer Steer moving to the other side of the diamond of late. Playing time could be even tougher for Newman to attain once Nick Senzel (knee), Joey Votto (shoulder), Jake Fraley (wrist), Wil Myers (shoulder) and Henry Ramos (hip) are all back from the injured list.... See More ... See Less -
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.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Another leadoff look Thursday
Newman is in the leadoff spot again Thursday at Boston. Newman also batted at the top of the Reds' lineup Wednesday and went 2-for-4 with a run scored. He's slashing .323/.417/.387 in 72 plate appearances since the beginning of May and has recently become Cincinnati's preferred tablesetter versus left-handed pitching opponents. Chris Sale is on the bump for the Red Sox on Thursday.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Batting leadoff
Newman will start at third base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. As usual, the righty-hitting Newman will find himself in the lineup versus a lefty (James Paxton), but he'll be hitting higher than fifth in the order for just the second time all season. He has been swinging a hot bat of late with four multi-hit efforts in his last five contests.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: On base five times
Newman went 2-for-2 with three walks and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Cubs. Newman miraculously reached base in all five of his at bats and never scored a run even with the Reds totaling eight runs in Sunday's contest. It didn't help that the two guys hitting behind him combined to go 0-for-9, but Newman has now put together four straight multi-hit games and has raised his batting average 40 points over that span. The Reds' infield is too crowded at the moment for Newman to see consistent playing time, but he'll continue to be given opportunities while he's swinging a hot bat.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Drives in three, steals base in win
Newman went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Cardinals. While starting his second game in a row, Newman once again delivered a two-hit performance to lift his season-long average up to .257. He'll be back on the bench for Thursday's series finale with St. Louis, and despite his hot start to the week, Newman's playing-time outlook only projects to get worse as the season rolls along. The Reds have already summoned one of their top infield prospects in Matt McLain to the big leagues, and Elly De La Cruz and Christian Encarnacion-Strand may not be far away from receiving promotions from Triple-A Louisville.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Back on bench Wednesday
Newman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets. Newman had started in eight of the Reds' last nine games, but with all of the key Cincinnati hitters healthy again with the exception of Joey Votto (shoulder), Newman looks as though he'll serve as a utility man moving forward rather than an everyday starter. He should at least continue to see regular playing time versus left-handed pitching, however.... See More ... See Less -
Reds' Kevin Newman: Nabs first steal of 2023
Newman went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox. Starting at shortstop and batting eighth, Newman picked up his first steal of the season in the third inning before coming home on a TJ Friedl double. Newman has started six straight games and eight of the last nine, spotting in all around the infield, but he's batting just .258 (8-for-31) over that stretch with zero extra-base hits, three runs and three RBI. Despite the increased playing time, Newman's fantasy value remains mainly limited to NL-only formats.... See More ... See Less
