Jonathan India Stats

The Cincinnati Reds have no plans to move Jonathan India from second base next season despite the league's new shift restrictions, which will put a premium on athleticism on the infield. India dealt with several injuries in a disappointing 2022 season following his National League Rookie of the Year honors in 2021. "(India) was in Cincinnati last weekend running sprints, and he looked better than he did the entire year last year," manager David Bell said. "He's a young player. He's plenty athletic. He's determined to kind of maximize his range. In my mind, he's our second baseman right now." The Reds will also give Spencer Steer a long look at third base, and Jose Barrero will compete for the starting gig at shortstop with Kevin Newman and Matt Reynolds.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (foot) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs after fouling a ball off his foot on Tuesday night. It means that India will finish his 2022 season with a disappointing .249/.327/.378 slash line with 10 home runs, 41 RBI, 48 runs scored and three stolen bases in 386 at-bats a year after winning the National League Rookie of the Year award. With India on the bench for the season finale, rookie Spencer Steer is starting at second base and hitting sixth against Cubs right-hander Adrian Sampson. Steer is hitting just .207 (19-for-92) with two homers, seven RBI and 24 strikeouts in his first 27 big-league contests.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India isn't in the team's lineup for Monday's matchup with the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-handed starter Bryse Wilson. India is hitting .262 this season with a .331 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 350 plate appearances. Instead, it'll be Alejo Lopez starting at second base and batting sixth against the Pirates. The 26-year-old is hitting .323 this season with a .385 on-base percentage, a home run, and three stolen bases in 109 plate appearances. He's worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers.
