It's still unknown if Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (toe) will be ready for the start of spring training after he had surgery to fix a broken toe last November, but manager David Bell said Senzel is still expected to be the team's starting center fielder on Opening Day. "He can play all over the field and be an everyday player, but with where we are as a team, he still factors into center field a lot," Bell said. The former first-rounder (second overall) has developed an injury-prone label in his first four MLB seasons, and his 110 games played in 2022 was a career-high so far. The 27-year-old made a decent amount of contact, but didn't square the ball up enough and finished with a disappointing .231/.296/.306 slash line with a career-low .601 OPS, five homers, 25 RBI, 45 runs score and eight stolen bases. There's still time for Senzel to figure things out, making him worth a late-round flier, but he needs to stay healthy.
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (toe) had surgery for a broken bone in his toe last month and continues to use a scooter to get around. However, the Reds are hopeful that Senzel will be ready for the start of spring training next year. Despite his struggles early in his career, he remains the top internal choice to start in center field in 2023, although the Reds have inquired on some free-agent center fielders. "He's done a great job of taking care of himself," manager David Bell said of Senzel. "He looks really good. I mean, it's tough for anyone to manage their weight and their physical conditioning when you can't run or do anything, so I give him a lot of credit." Jake Fraley and TJ Friedl will be left-handed hitting options to fill Cincy's outfield next year alongside right-handed hitters Stuart Fairchild and Nick Solak.
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (toe) said he broke his toe on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox and will miss the rest of the 2022 season. Senzel crashed into the outfield wall on Tuesday while trying to make a catch. Although he played in a career-high 110 games this year in his fourth major-league season, Senzel was disappointing for fantasy managers, hitting .231/.296/.306 with only five home runs, 25 RBI, 45 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 420 plate appearances. The 27-year-old's rookie season in 2019 was still his best to this point, when he finished with 12 homers, 42 RBI, 14 stolen bases and a .256 batting average in 104 games.

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.
