Homer Bailey - S - Reds

Homer Bailey tossed seven scoreless innings Sunday against the Phillies but the Reds lost late.

Aroldis Chapman blew the Reds' one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth. Bailey did his part, yielding only five hits and a walk while fanning three batters. He now has a stellar 3.09 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 55/15 K/BB ratio in 58 1/3 innings this season and should keep cruising next time out against the light-hitting Cubs.

Aroldis Chapman - R - Reds

Aroldis Chapman blew his second straight save chance Sunday in the Reds' loss to the Phillies.

Chapman entered with the Reds leading 2-1 and then gave up back-to-back solo homers to Erik Kratz and Freddy Galvis. The hard-throwing lefty hasn't enjoyed the cleanest May but is obviously still the Cincinnati closer. He'll try to bounce back in the next opportunity that he gets.

Zack Cozart - SS - Reds

Zack Cozart was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to illness.

He should be fine in a day or two. Cesar Izturis is taking Cozart's place at shortstop.

Donald Lutz - OF - Reds

Donald Lutz logged his first career multi-hit game in Saturday's 10-0 demolition of the Phillies.

Lutz went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. He's batting .290 with a .419 slugging percentage through 31 at-bats, but Lutz has yet to take a walk. Lutz had 20-plus home runs in two straight minor league seasons and has displayed NL-only upside when given an opportunity, knocking in six runs, jacking a home run and stealing a pair of bases. He'll likely have to wait until 2014, at least, to become fantasy relevant.

Joey Votto - 1B - Reds

Joey Votto went 4-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 10-0 defeat of the Phillies.

Votto also drew two walks, reaching base in all six of his plate appearances. He boasts a ridiculous .346/.473/.531 slash line in 43 games this year and is probably the best pure batter in the majors right now. It's just gravy that the power is starting to come around.
May 18 - 7:27 PM
Bronson Arroyo - S - Reds

Bronson Arroyo rattled off 7 2/3 scoreless innings to help the Reds blank the Phillies on Saturday.

Alfredo Simon finished off the combined shutout with 1 1/3 scoreless frames. Arroyo scattered four singles and a double, striking out six. He'll carry a 4-4 record, 3.28 ERA and 1.11 WHIP into his next scheduled start against the light-hitting Cubs and makes for a fine option right now in all standard mixed fantasy leagues.
May 18 - 7:24 PM
Neftali Soto - 1B - Reds

Reds recalled 1B Neftali Soto from Triple-A Louisville.

Soto, 24, has shown good power potential over his seven-year minor league career and will provide corner infield depth. He was batting .269/.310/.388 with three home runs in 33 games at the Triple-A level.
May 18 - 1:23 PM
Tony Cingrani - S - Reds

Reds optioned LHP Tony Cingrani to Triple-A Louisville.

The Reds needed to clear a rotation spot with Johnny Cueto returning from the disabled list Monday, so Cingrani was officially sent down. He was mostly excellent over his first six major league starts, posting a 3.27 ERA, nine walks and 41 strikeouts in 33 innings. Neftali Soto has been called up to replace Cingrani on the active roster, and Mike Leake will remain Cincinnati's fifth starter.

Tony Cingrani - S - Reds

Tony Cingrani yielded three runs in five innings Friday in a no-decision against the Phillies.

Following his recent bout of shoulder soreness, Cingrani needed 100 pitches to complete the five frames. After posting a 1.50 ERA over his first three starts in the majors, the southpaw has allowed nine runs in 15 innings over his last three starts and has served up five homers in the process. We still like Cingrani for the long-term, but he could be headed back to the minors next week when Johnny Cueto (lat) returns from the disabled list.
May 17 - 10:10 PM
Joey Votto - 1B - Reds

Joey Votto went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's loss to the Phillies.

It was his fifth home run of the season and his first since April 25. Of course, it's tough to complain, as the 29-year-old is hitting .329/.457/.494 through 42 games. He has five multi-hit games in his last seven.
May 17 - 10:07 PM
Jonathan Broxton - R - Reds

Jonathan Broxton has lowered his ERA from 6.35 to 4.41 in May.

He hasn't allowed an earned run in five appearances this month. The former lights-out Dodgers closer has lost all of his mixed league appeal pitching in front of Aroldis Chapman, but he's still plenty useful in NL-only formats and leagues that count holds.
May 17 - 2:22 AM
Jay Bruce - OF - Reds

Jay Bruce had an RBI single in the fourth and a two-run double in the 10th to lead the Reds to a 5-3 win over the Marlins on Thursday.

All of those angry tweets obviously got Bruce going. He is hitting .308 with two homers and 13 RBI in 12 games this month after coming in at .252 with one homer and 11 RBI during a rough month of April.
May 16 - 10:50 PM
Mat Latos - S - Reds

Mat Latos pitched 8 1/3 innings of two-run ball in a no-decision against the Marlins on Thursday.

Starting the ninth with a 2-1 lead, Latos gave up a one-out triple to Adeiny Hechavarria and was pulled in favor of Aroldis Chapman. Chapman went on to give up a triple of his own to take his first blown save, but he preserved the tie from there and got the win in relief. It was Latos' fifth no-decision in nine starts this season. The other four were all wins, and he still hasn't taken a loss since last Aug. 24.
May 16 - 10:47 PM
Chris Heisey - OF - Reds

The Reds have determined that Chris Heisey's hamstring aggravation was not severe.

"It wasn’t horrendous," assistant general manager Bob Miller said. "He tweaked it." Heisey won't return until the next homestand, which runs from May 24-28, at the earliest. It's certainly possible his absence could stretch into June.

Shin-Soo Choo - OF - Reds

Shin-Soo Choo went 4-for-5 with two home runs in the Reds' 4-0 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

Choo also singled twice and scored three runs total. The leadoff hitter is now batting .322 with 33 runs scored. He's been a fantasy revelation this year, and he's showing no signs of stopping.
