Jonathan India Stats

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in the team's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Perhaps the 26-year-old is feeling the rumblings surrounding both top prospect Elly De La Cruz's seemingly imminent call-up coinciding with trade murmurs involving India's name. India is immersed in a prolific fantasy season, though, hitting .278 with 47 runs scored, six taters, 26 RBI and nine swipes. The former NL Rookie of the Year trails only Marcus Semien and Mookie Betts in total ranking at second base in 5x5 category mixed leagues. India's spent more time in the No. 3 spot of the Reds lineup lately, which should only amplify his RBI opportunity going forward.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is back in the leadoff spot for a Friday matchup against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Justin Steele. India has been in the three-hole a few times this week against right-handed pitching, but the Reds apparently prefer him hitting leadoff against lefties. First baseman Spencer Steer will hit third for Cincy on Friday. India has been solid for his fantasy managers this year, but he's hitting .231 (12-for-52) with two doubles and no home runs in the last 14 days. He also hasn't been quite as good against southpaws with a .250 average (12-for-48) with only three doubles and one homer in 57 trips to the plate against them. But out of the leadoff spot in 2023, he's hitting a strong .290 (51-for-176) with 14 doubles and three homers.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is hitting out of the No. 3 spot in the batting order on Thursday against right-hander Miles Mikolas and the St. Louis Cardinals. India has mostly hit leadoff for the Reds in 2023, but outfielder TJ Friedl will be in the top spot in the matinee game on Thursday. The former Rookie of the Year could have more opportunities to drive in runs for the Reds in the three-hole. The 26-year-old hasn't shown much power (three home runs), but he's hitting a strong .290 (53-for-183) with 14 doubles, 18 RBI, eight stolen bases and 40 runs scored in 49 games played. India has been great in May with a .293 average (24-for-82) with six doubles, two homers and seven RBI in 21 games.
