Mike Moustakas was placed on the Injured List for one day. Ronnie Dawson was recalled on Monday as an "emergency' replacement.
Reds' general manager Nick Krall told radio listeners to the game on Monday, that move to add Dawson did not count as an option for Dawson.
Moustakas did not feel well and the team wanted to take precautions against Covid so he was placed on the IL. Manager David Bell put him in the lineup for the second game of the three game series with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Dawson was returned to Louisville.
Max Schrock is getting close to returning. He is on eht 60-day IL leaving him around 20 more days until he returns.
"He will be playing somewhere," Bell said. "He will play his max amount of time on a rehab assignment. He should be good to go when he comes off."
Schrock will spend more time running the bases so it is not a shock to his system when he's on base as he seems to be all the time.
Alexis Diaz has earned more trust in more meaningful situations.
Diaz has allowed one run in 14 innings this season for an ERA of 0.64. On Monday he got the Reds out of an inning in which Milwaukee scored two runs and threatened to take the lead.
"Over the last 10 days he's been in the mix (for a more important role)," Bell said. "He's earned it. He's shown his stuff. He can get some of the best hitters in the league out. Also, he has the maturity and composure for a guy with very little experience, he's handled everything really well. He has a great fastball but he's shown the ability to go to his slider when he needs to. I always ask him why he throws the pitches he throws and he always has a good reason for it."
