Cincinnati Reds infielder Dilson Herrera will start at second base and bat second against the Indians on Tuesday. With the Reds playing in an AL ballpark, Scooter Gennett will DH. Herrera has yet to take an at-bat in 2018, and while he holds potential, facing off against All-Star Trevor Bauer is no easy task. He isn't a recommended streamer on Tuesday.
Cincinnati Reds second baseman Dilson Herrera has been recalled from Triple-A. Herrera was originally acquired in the 2016 deal that sent Jay Bruce to the New York Mets. Herrera has battled injuries ever since the trade, however, he has looked strong in 2018, hitting .297 with nine home runs and 35 RBI over 71 minor league games. Herrera is just 24 years old and still has potential, but he won't see much playing time behind current starter Scooter Gennett. If Gennett were to be moved at the trade deadline, Herrera would be someone to consider in deeper leagues.
The Cincinnati Reds have reassigned second baseman Dilson Herrera, catcher Chadwick Tromp, and infielder/outfielders Darnell Sweeney and Patrick Kivlehan to minor league camp. Herrera is the biggest name of the group and was once considered the team's second baseman of the future but shoulder surgery in July of 2017 is still preventing him from playing the field. Herrera cleared waivers on Tuesday and will likely report to Triple-A.
Cincinnati Reds second baseman Dilson Herrera has cleared waivers and will no longer be part of the team's 40-man roster. He is expected to remain in big league camp in the meantime as the team attempts to get him more at-bats. Herrera had season-ending shoulder surgery in July 2017 and has not yet been able to play defense in camp. The fact the promising youngster was not claimed by any other team could indicate that there's still concern over Herrera's shoulder. Herrera's inability to play the field likely played into the Reds' decision to outright the 24-year-old infielder. Herrera came over to Cincinnati in the deal which sent Jay Bruce to the New York Mets during the 2016 season.
Cincinnati Reds second basemanDilson Herrera(shoulder) is unlikely to get back on the field in a defensive capacity anytime soon, according to manager Bryan Price. When Price was asked about when Herrera would play defense, he told reporters not in the next week. Herrera underwent shoulder surgery in July 2017 and is not quite ready to take the field as he works his way back. He has been back in a hitting capacity, seeing 17 at-bats and hitting .235 with three runs and two RBI this spring. The Reds could certainly use Herrera as a utility infielder this season, but he won't help much in that capacity until he's able to play defense.
Cincinnati Reds second baseman Dilson Herrera said he's past the lingering shoulder issues that have slowed him down since landing with the Reds. "Everything is good," Herrera said Friday. "I am feeling really better, much better than last year. I'm ready to work." Herrera came to the Reds in the trade that sent outfielder Jay Bruce to the Mets in August of 2016, and Herrera hurt his shoulder shortly thereafter. He played in just 68 games in the minors in 2017 and had season-ending shoulder debridement surgery. He'll turn 24 on March 3, but he's out of minor league options, meaning he'd have to clear waivers if the Reds don't have him on the Opening Day roster. He's currently blocked at second base by Scooter Gennett, so Herrera must show some versatility this spring to increase his chances of making the team. Because Herrera has primarily played second base the past three years, manager Bryan Price said the team will be cautious about moving him around. In 2016 with the Mets and Reds affiliates, Herrera hit .274 with 15 home runs, 64 RBI and seven steals in 110 games. The post-hype prospect has an intriguing power/speed profile, and he could be come relevant in dynasty/keeper formats if he can win a utility role out of camp.
