One of the Reds key acquisitions in the off season is still absent from the lineup.
Willy Taveras, who filled the leadoff void that the Reds had for several years, is still out with the flu.
Dusty Baker usually holds a player back an extra day after they say they are ready to go.
Taveras was also hit by a line drive off the bat of teammante Joey Votto while attempting a steal of thirdbase in the last week of spring training. He then came down with the flu.
Jerry Hairston Jr., who lost 10 lbs. from a flu bug that he contracted as a member of the Mexican WBC team, was in the lineup as the centerfielder and leadoff hitter.
