Nick Senzel News
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel is starting in left field and is batting sixth in the order on Wednesday against right-hander Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants. This will be Senzel's third straight start for the Reds, although he'll likely be headed back to the bench soon with Jake Fraley (toe) nearing a return from the 10-day injured list. The 28-year-old Senzel has gone just 6-for-39 (.154) with two home runs, a double, two RBI, eight strikeouts and seven runs scored in 12 games (nine starts) in the month of August. He's also hitting a meager .218 (55-for-252) on the year with 10 long balls and five stolen bases, so fantasy managers in mixed leagues can continue to ignore the former second overall pick for now.
The Cincinnati Reds optioned infielder/outfielder Nick Senzel to Triple-A Louisville on Friday and selected the contract of outfielder Henry Ramos from Louisville in a corresponding move. The Reds also designated right-hander Eduardo Salazar for assignment. Senzel had been seeing pretty regular playing time at third base recently for the Reds, but they'll send him down after he's hit .219/.290/.368 with nine home runs, 37 RBI, five stolen bases and 36 runs scored in 242 at-bats this year. The 28-year-old former first-rounder has been pretty bad since the All-Star break, going 5-for-40 (.125) with two homers, a double, four RBI, 10 strikeouts, a stolen base and eight runs scored in 18 games (10 starts). Spencer Steer got the start at third for the Reds on Friday night against Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Johan Oviedo.
Cincinnati Reds outfielder/third baseman Nick Senzel (knee) has been on the injured list since June 6 after suffering right knee inflammation. However, the 27-year-old is recovering quickly, and according to manager David Bell, the team will probably activate Senzel on Friday before their matchup with the Houston Astros. Before going down with the ailment, the former top prospect was slashing .258/.332/.380 with four homers, 22 runs, 27 RBI, and four steals across 45 games. Senzel isn't a must-roster in any fantasy league but can provide so-so production in each category in deeper formats.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel may be looking at his last shot to prove that he can crack the starting lineup as a regular. The former #2 overall pick has struggled with injuries, hasn't found a permanent home defensively, and has failed to produce at the plate at the pro level. As a rookie in 2019, Senzel slashed a mediocre .256/.315/.427 but showed off his wheels with 14 steals. In 2020, he struggled mightily with a slash line of .186/.247/.357 over 78 plate appearances before landing on the IL. He collected just two hits in his final 25 at-bats upon returning from injury.Once thought to be a star in the marking, he now has a role to full time at-bats as Cincinnati's primary centerfielder. With Shogo Akiyama going down with an injury this spring, Senzel has seen the majority of looks in centerfield. If he maintains that job through opening day, then Senzel is a late-round flier with little risk to acquire his services and take a chance on a breakout.
