Senzel is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Senzel has now been out of the lineup for three straight games and started just six of 13 contests since returning from the injured list. He's just 4-for-25 at the plate over that span and could continue to see his playing time squeezed on a Reds club that's been a surprise contender.

Senzel is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Senzel will take a seat for the second day in a row and the third time in four games after going just 1-for-13 at the dish since returning from the injured list earlier this month. With Will Benson swinging a hot bat thus far in June, he appears to have the edge over Senzel for the final spot in the Reds' everyday outfield for the time being.

Senzel is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Will Benson, TJ Friedl and Jake Fraley will start across the outfield for the host Reds. This appears to be a normal day of rest for Senzel, who slugged a solo homer in Monday's win over Colorado.

Senzel (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is batting seventh while starting at third base Friday versus the Astros, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Senzel will return to the big leagues Friday after missing the minimum 10 days while nursing a sore right knee. The 27-year-old appeared in two games with Triple-A Louisville while on a rehab assignment, going 2-for-7 with two runs scored while walking once and striking out twice. Prior to getting hurt, Senzel had produced a .277 average with three doubles, nine RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base over his previous 13 games. Jose Barrero was optioned to Louisville in order to open a roster spot for Senzel.

Senzel (knee) is set to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Senzel was initially supposed to start for Louisville on Sunday, but the game got rained out and the team had an off day Monday. The 27-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since last Tuesday with right knee irritation and isn't eligible to be activated until Friday, so he'll likely make multiple starts in Triple-A.

Senzel (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Senzel will hit leadoff and start at third base in his first game with Louisville, a promising sign for his health after he was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to right knee irritation. The Reds may want Senzel to get another game or two under his belt in the minors before bringing him back from the IL at some point during next weekend's series in Houston. Once activated, Senzel should be in store for a near-everyday role, though he could see most of his action in the outfield moving forward following the recent promotion of top prospect Elly De La Cruz to the big leagues.

Reds manager David Bell said Wednesday that Senzel (knee) could return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Senzel was placed on the injured list Tuesday due to irritation in his right knee, but it's nothing overly concerning and it sounds like he'll be back in the fold for the Reds late next week. He'd been on a streak of solid production before the injury, though Elly De La Cruz is now up with Cincinnati to command regular starts at third base. Senzel will likely have to find his playing time in a crowded outfield mix.

Senzel was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right knee irritation, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Senzel missed one game last week and another this week with the injury, and the Reds have decided to give him a little down time. He will be eligible for activation June 16, but whether he will be ready to roll at that time remains to be seen. Top prospect Elly De La Cruz is up to take Senzel's spot on the roster.

Senzel was scratched from the Reds' lineup Monday due to right knee irritation, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Senzel was a late scratch from a game last week with the same injury. He should be considered day-to-day at this point. T.J. Hopkins entered the lineup Monday in Senzel's place.

Senzel (knee) is hitting seventh and playing left field versus the Red Sox on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Senzel was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup due to soreness in his right knee, but he'll rejoin the starting nine just a day later. Senzel has multiple hits in three of his last seven games and has a .775 OPS during that stretch.
