Xavier Paul - OF - Reds

Xavier Paul has hit whenever he's been called upon by the Reds, slashing .270/.400/.405 over 90 plate appearances.

Since he was called up by the Reds last July, Paul has hit as well as any reserve outfielder, batting .294/.389/.438 with four homers and 20 RBI in 160 at-bats. Paul has cost Cincy four runs below replacement defensively in limited opportunities this year, so he'll have to keep his lumber warm to steal at-bats.

Mike Leake - S - Reds

Mike Leake held the Mets scoreless over seven innings in the Reds' 4-0 victory on Tuesday.

Leake has now made two consecutive starts without allowing a run, lowering his ERA to 3.25 in the process. There was some thought his spot in the rotation might be in danger with the return of Johnny Cueto, but Tony Cingrani being demoted was a vote of confidence in favor of the 25-year-old. His next start will come in an interleague matchup with the Indians on Monday.

Joey Votto - 1B - Reds

Joey Votto extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single against the Mets on Tuesday.

Votto is 20-for-40 (.500) in the 10 games, raising his batting average to .353 on the season. Miguel Cabrera is getting the bulk of the attention nationally, but few hitters in the game are as locked in as Votto right now.

Devin Mesoraco - C - Reds

Devin Mesoraco hit his second home run of the season and drove in two runs in the Reds' win over the Mets on Tuesday.

Mesoraco drove in his first run with a bases-loaded walk in the first inning, and he put the Reds out of reach for good with a solo homer in the ninth. The catcher is hitting just .234 and hasn't produced much, and he's likely to continue to split starts with Ryan Hanigan going forward.

Zack Cozart - SS - Reds

Zack Cozart (illness) is back in Tuesday's lineup.

Cozart sat out Sunday and Monday due to illness, but he's ready to give it a go. The 27-year-old is hitting just .206/.233/.338 with five home runs, 20 RBI and a .570 OPS in 39 games this year.

Shin-Soo Choo - OF - Reds

Shin-Soo Choo is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Mets.

He'll get a day off with left-hander Jon Niese on the hill for New York. Derrick Robinson will play center field and bat leadoff.

Jack Hannahan - 3B - Reds

Jack Hannahan grounded out as a pinch-hitter in Monday's victory against the Mets.

The Minnesota native is miscast as a pinch-hitter and is no threat to Todd Frazier's job, despite the latter's struggles. Hannahan is known for his glove, not his stick, but Cincinnati likely hoped for more than a .222/.317/.278 slash line when they inked him to a two-year, $4 million contract over the offseason.
May 21 - 3:22 AM
Johnny Cueto - S - Reds

Johnny Cueto won in his return from the disabled list after allowing three runs and three hits in five innings against the Mets on Monday.

Cueto struck out eight and walked four. One of those walks preceded Marlon Byrd's three-run homer in the third. Following that home run, Cueto struck out four batters in a row. He ended up throwing 90 pitches in his return, 52 of them for strikes.
May 20 - 10:52 PM
Aroldis Chapman - R - Reds

Aroldis Chapman bounced back from Sunday's blown save by pitching a perfect ninth in a one-run game against the Mets on Monday.

Chapman struck out two in earning his ninth save. He had blown back-to-back opportunities.
May 20 - 10:50 PM
Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Todd Frazier went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Monday, dropping his average back down to .224.

Frazier has six homers and 27 RBI, but he's probably not going to get that average up until he cuts back on the strikeouts. He's fanned 44 times in 43 games this year, compared to 103 times in 128 games last season.
May 20 - 10:45 PM
Shin-Soo Choo - OF - Reds

Shin-Soo Choo is in Monday's lineup against the Mets.

Choo wasn't in the original lineup, but that's only because Reds manager Dusty Baker thought that Jon Niese was pitching. However, he's back in there since Shaun Marcum is pitching for New York. Look for Choo to get the day off Tuesday.

Johnny Cueto - S - Reds

Reds activated RHP Johnny Cueto from the 15-day disabled list.

Cueto wound up missing a little over one month with a strained right lat and oblique soreness. He will return to the Reds' starting rotation on Monday against the Mets and can be activated immediately in fantasy leagues.
May 20 - 3:46 PM
Neftali Soto - 1B - Reds

Reds optioned 1B Neftali Soto to Triple-A Louisville.

Soto was up in the majors for only a couple of days and saw just one plate appearance. He did not register a hit.
May 20 - 3:44 PM
Zack Cozart - SS - Reds

Zack Cozart (illness) is not in the Reds' lineup Monday.

Cozart also sat out on Saturday afternoon. Cesar Izturis will start at shortstop Monday against the Mets.

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.
