Nick Senzel Fantasy

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (undisclosed) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Monday afternoon. He is starting in center field and batting seventh against Cody Ponce and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Senzel has not suited up for a game since August 14 with an unreported ailment. He was slashing .244/.327/.489 with two homers and eight RBI before the injury, making him a fantasy afterthought in most formats.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel will remain out of the equation for at least the next three games after manager David Bell confirmed Friday that Senzel would not be cleared to return this weekend. Senzel has been snakebitten by a variety of maladies through the first two years of his big league career, having appeared in just 14 games this season. Despite compiling an .816 OPS, Senzels inability to remain on the field caps his fantasy intrigue. Expect Shogo Akiyama and Brian Goodwin to continue receiving an increase of playing time while Senzel remains out, even if his return is somewhat on the horizon.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (undisclosed) could rejoin the major league roster as soon as Friday, according to general manager Dick Williams. Senzel has been sidelined since August 14 with what sounds like a positive coronavirus test, but he was cleared to resume activity last week and has been working out at the teams alternate site. Senzel had posted a .816 OPS with two stolen bases in 14 games before landing on the injured list, and fantasy players should expect the 25-year-old to post an OPS above .800 over the rest of the season once he returns to the lineup.
