Kyle Farmer Stats

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Kyle Farmer (abdominal) will not play again this year, according to Reds manager David Bell. He is dealing with an abdominal strain that has held him out of two straight games. He won't partake in the team's final game of the year on Sunday either. The 31-year-old had the best season of his career this year. Over 147 games, he slashed .263/.316/.416 with 16 home runs, 63 RBI and 60 runs. He could have a battle for the team's starting shortstop position next year with 23-year-old Jose Barrero, who has started two straight games at shortstop with Farmer out.

The Cincinnati Reds activated shortstop Kyle Farmer from the paternity list on Monday. Relief pitcher Brad Brach was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Farmer spent a total of three days on the paternity list as he welcomed a child with his wife. Jose Barrero and Eugenio Suarez split shortstop duties while Farmer was out. Farmer should now take back over as the team's primary shortstop going forward. It's been a bit of a breakout year for the 31-year-old, who is slashing .254/.308/.397 with 13 home runs, 53 RBI and 51 runs over 132 games.
