Rece Hinds Goes Yard Against the Braves On Thursday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Rece Hinds went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double, and a walk in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Hinds was recently called up due to the injury to Noelvi Marte (oblique), made his second appearance thus far in 2025, and made the most of it. He doubled off Spencer Schwellenbach and homered off Braves' closer Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning to give the Reds a 4-2 lead. Hinds splashed onto the scene in 2024, showing fantastic power, hitting five home runs and slugging .717 in 51 plate appearances in 2024; however, he was striking out at a 31.4 percent clip, and started 2025 in Triple-A. Through seven plate appearances in 2025, Hinds is 2-for-6 with three strikeouts. There is no guarantee Hinds will stay up with the big league club once Marte is back, so for now, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his production and only pick him up as a short-term bat if needed.
Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Rece Hinds kept on hitting on Tuesday for Triple-A Louisville, going 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, and scoring twice. That makes three consecutive games with a homer for the former second-rounder, now boasting a .281 AVG with an .897 OPS through 33 games. Hinds was not the one to get the call to replace injured Tyler Callihan (forearm); rather, it was Jacob Hurtubise, but make no mistake, Hinds and his power will be back in the big leagues at some point this season. Together with his ability to steal bases, Hinds is a name to monitor in redraft leagues.
Rece Hinds Hits Home Run No. 7 In Three-Hit Day At Triple-A
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Rece Hinds homered for the seventh time this season in a 3-for-6 day at the plate for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. The former second-round draft pick has his season-long slash line up to .274/.338/.521 with 31 RBI, 25 runs scored, and 12 steals through 32 games (134 PA), and could be knocking on the door to the majors again, especially with the Reds' recent call-up Tyler Callihan suffering a broken forearm on Monday against the Braves. Fantasy managers might remember the right-handed hitter's power binge when he was called up in 2024, collecting five home runs in his first six major league games, although it came with a 31.4 percent strikeout rate overall and no home runs over his final 16 games for Cincinnati. Power-needy managers in deep leagues will want to keep a close eye on this one, especially due to the 6-foot-3 slugger's potential to add some stolen bases along with the power.
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Rece Hinds has gone deep twice during the first four games of the Triple-A regular season. Across this short stint, Hinds has tallied at least one hit in all but one contest. Hinds has posted a strong .333/.412/.833 slash line with two long balls, six RBI, and a 2:5 BB:K. Hinds has also swiped two bags and scored six runs. The 24-year-old received a brief taste of the major leagues last summer and flashed elite power upside. Across 24 games in Cincinnati, Hinds launched five long balls with four doubles and held a .717 SLG. He swiped two bags during this stint and generated an elite .386 xwOBA. However, he posted a hefty 38.2 percent whiff rate. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Hinds' progression at Triple-A as he should push for an early return to the big leagues. He is worth adding in all five outfielder leagues when he returns, given his power upside.
The Cincinnati Reds recalled outfield prospect Rece Hinds from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday and placed outfielder Stuart Fairchild (thumb) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 26) in a corresponding move with a left-thumb sprain. The 23-year-old Hinds, who is the team's No. 15 prospect per MLB Pipeline, did not start in Tuesday's contest against the Oakland Athletics, and he'll most likely serve in a reserve role in his second MLB stint. He took major-league baseball by storm upon his initial call-up, going 11-for-22 with five home runs, three doubles, a triple, 11 RBI and two steals in his first six games before 1-for-16 with a double and five strikeouts in his ensuing four games before being sent back to Louisville. All of his 10 starts came in right field, so if anything, Hinds may be on the short side of a platoon against lefties in his return.
To make room for outfielder TJ Friedl (hamstring) on the active MLB roster, the Cincinnati Reds optioned outfield prospect Rece Hinds to Triple-A Louisville. Hinds burst onto the scene after his first big-league call-up and was named the National League Player of the Week two weeks ago, but he has predictably fallen off since then. The 23-year-old went deep five times in his first six games with the Reds but picked up just one hit in 16 at-bats since then, including five strikeouts. As a result, the former second-rounder in 2019 lost out on playing time and will now continue his development on the farm. The club's No. 15 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has hit .316 (12-for-38) in his first 10 MLB games and could be back with the Reds when rosters expand in September as outfield depth.
Cincinnati Reds rookie Rece Hinds remains in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Hinds will be playing right field and batting seventh in the order. He is hitting .353/.389/.971 with five homers, 11 RBI, seven runs scored, and two stolen bases in his first nine big league games. He has not played since Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals, where he went 0-for-4, only the second time Hinds was hitless. Daily fantasy managers should continue riding Hinds' blistering pace, while those in standard leagues should look to add room for him.
Cincinnati Reds rookie outfielder Rece Hinds is on the bench on Monday for the second day in a row against the hosting Atlanta Braves and right-hander Reynaldo Lopez. The Reds will use Will Benson, Stuart Fairchild and Jake Fraley in the outfield on Monday from left to right field, respectively. Hinds, the club's No. 15 prospect per MLB Pipeline, started his MLB career off with a bang, going 11-for-22 (.500) with five home runs, three doubles, a triple, 11 RBI and two stolen bases in his first six games, but he's gone 1-for-12 with a double and three strikeouts in his last three games and may only be in Cincy's starting lineup against left-handed pitchers moving forward. It was an amazing start for the 23-year-old, but fantasy managers should have been expecting him to come back down to Earth sooner than later.
Despite one of the best opening weeks for a player in recent memory, fantasy managers should temper their expectations in the second half for rookie outfielder Rece Hinds of the Cincinnati Reds. Hinds, 23, burst onto the scene last week after being promoted to the Reds and went 11-for-26 with three doubles, five homers, 11 RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Yes, you read that correctly. However, despite an insane week, fantasy managers should be selling high on Hinds, as it will likely be the best week of his entire career. As the Reds' No. 15 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, Hinds showed no signs of this coming, as he was hitting .216 with 13 homers, 41 RBI and 12 stolen bases for Triple-A Louisville this season. Although it is a great story, it is unrealistic for fantasy managers to think that Hinds will keep this up, and the All-Star break could only hurt his momentum. Moving forward, fantasy managers should try to sell high on Hinds, as he could be hitting the waiver wire as soon as he comes back down to earth.
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Rece Hinds continued the torrid start to his MLB career, going 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Marlins. The 23-year-old also scored twice and was hit by a pitch. It has been a historic start to Hinds' career, now with 11 hits over his first six games in the majors, nine of which have gone for extra bases, including three doubles, a triple, and five home runs. He's also chipped in a pair of stolen bases. The former second-round draft pick will carry a .500-5-11-7-2 line into Sunday's matchup where the Reds will face lefty Trevor Rogers who is 1-9 with a 4.82 ERA and 1.59 WHIP.
