Reds Win Some Lose Some Nick Senzel Is Back Connor Overton Has Bad Back

 

 

 

The Reds reinstated Nick Senzel from the Injured List and put him in the lineup as the leadoff hitter.

The Reds had to place RHP Connor Overton on the 60-day Injured List with a tight back.   Vladimire Gutierrez, who was moved to the bullpen, was pressed into duty to start the first game of the four-game series against the Chicago Cubs.

Senzel has been out of action since May 4.  He did a brief rehab stint in Louisville before being reinstated today.  Senzel is hitting .192 with one home run and three RBI in 17 games.

Overton was the Reds' most effective starting pitcher to date.  He was the first Reds' starter to complete six innings on May 12.  In his last start Overton pitched 7 2/3 innings against Cleveland.  Overton's 2022 record in 1-0 with a 1.82 ERA

LHP Mike Minor will make one more rehab start before joining the Reds' rotation.  Jonathan India was being medically evaluated to determine what the next step in his recovery will be.   India has a right hamstring strain that has kept him out since May 1

Nick Lodolo is throwing on the side.  He has a lower back strain.
