Johnny Cueto - S - Reds

Johnny Cueto allowed five runs on 11 hits over 4 2/3 innings in Friday's loss to the Rockies.

Cueto has now lost two of his last three starts and given up 12 runs over his last 15 2/3 innings. He lasted just 95 pitches and recorded three strikeouts. Cueto will bring a 2.53 ERA and 41/14 K/BB ratio into his Wednesday start against the Pirates.

Joey Votto - 1B - Reds

Joey Votto went 4-for-4 with two doubles in Friday's loss to the Rockies.

Votto was in a 4-for-23 slump entering the game, but still ranks second only to David Wright with a .459 on-base percentage. He has more walks than strikeouts and 26 extra-base hits this season.

Scott Rolen - 3B - Reds

Scott Rolen (shoulder) isn't sure when he'll resume swinging a bat.

Rolen went on the disabled list on May 12 with a sore left shoulder and recently received a cortisone shot. He has felt some improvement over the past couple of days, but he is currently shut down from all baseball activities and has no plans to rush back. "Ideally, this will be the last time (I’m on the DL)," said Rolen. "If it takes a few extra days, we’ll do that." Todd Frazier will continue to fill in at the hot corner and makes for a decent play in deeper mixed leagues.

Nick Masset - R - Reds

Nick Masset (shoulder) threw from a distance of 60 feet again on Friday.

"He was much better than yesterday," said Reds trainer Paul Lessard. "I thought he would be. He was so mechanical the first day." While it's a good sign that Masset is throwing again, he'll need to build arm strength before being cleared to get back on the mound.

Bill Bray - R - Reds

Bill Bray underwent an MRI on his back which showed no structural damage.

Bray was placed on the disabled list last month with a groin injury, but his back is the bigger issue now. He was put on anti-inflammatory medication and the hope is that he'll be ready to resume throwing Monday.

Jay Bruce - OF - Reds

Jay Bruce is not in the Reds' lineup Friday.

It's just a day off for Bruce, who is in a 1-for-31 slide at the plate that's dropped his average from .305 to .252. Chris Heisey is starting in right field against Rockies left-hander Christian Friedrich.

Devin Mesoraco - C - Reds

Devin Mesoraco blasted a grand slam home run, providing all of the offense the Reds would need to down the Braves 6-3 on Thursday.

It was his lone hit in four at-bats on the night, but was the crushing blow to Randall Delgado and the Braves. He’s only hitting .213 on the season with a pair of homers and 7 RBI now, while he’s been sharing time behind the plate with Ryan Hanigan. He still possesses tremendous offensive potential, and perhaps this big night is just the boost he needs to get going. He's a difficult play currently in all but deeper two-catcher leagues.
May 24 - 9:44 PM
Homer Bailey - S - Reds

Homer Bailey turned in one of his best outings of the season on Thursday, limiting the Braves to two runs on four hits over six innings of work.

He punched out six and walked just one in the game. The only blemish on his night was a two-run homer from Michael Bourn in the fifth inning. With the victory, Bailey improves to 3-3 on the season and lowers his ERA to a more respectable 4.19. He’ll try to build off of this strong outing when he squares off against the Pirates in Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
May 24 - 9:43 PM
Joey Gathright - OF - Reds

Reds signed OF Joey Gathright to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A Louisville.

The Reds purchased his contract from the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic League. Gathright, 31, appeared in seven games with the Red Sox last year and has a .263/.327/.303 batting line in the majors. He'll serve as minor league depth.

Nick Masset - R - Reds

Nick Masset (shoulder) made 30 throws from a distance of 60 feet on Thursday.

It was his first throwing session since being shut down in mid-April with renewed shoulder soreness. "I was about as encouraged as I could be for throwing on the first day," said Masset. He's scheduled to make another 30 throws Friday. There is no timetable for his return.

Bronson Arroyo - S - Reds

Bronson Arroyo held the Braves to one run on four hits in 6 2/3 innings of work on Wednesday, taking a no-decision in Cincinnati's 2-1 victory.

Arroyo struck out seven and walked two in lowering his ERA to 3.22. Pitching much more like the hurler he was in 2009-10 before struggling during his mono-marred 2011, Arroyo will bring a 1.26 WHIP and 44/8 K/BB ratio into his Monday outing in Pittsburgh.
May 23 - 10:38 PM
Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Todd Frazier walked off the Reds on Wednesday, ending a then 1-1 game with a solo home run off of Atlanta's Cristhian Martinez in the ninth.

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez elected not to go with his closer on the road in a tie game and got burned for it. The home run was Frazier's fourth of the season, and leaves him with a .250/.294/.547 triple slash through 68 plate appearances. His power makes him worth a look in deeper mixed leagues while Scott Rolen is on the disabled list.
May 23 - 10:34 PM
Nick Masset - R - Reds

Nick Masset (shoulder) is expected to begin a throwing program Thursday.

Masset hasn't picked up a ball since being shut down from throwing in mid-April when he felt renewed soreness in his shoulder. "We've got our fingers crossed that he doesn't feel anything and that it's healed," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "I know he's champing at the bit."

Drew Stubbs - OF - Reds

Drew Stubbs is not in Wednesday's lineup.

We're assuming he's just getting a routine day of rest. Chris Heisey will make the start in center field while Ryan Ludwick plays left.

Mat Latos - S - Reds

Mat Latos held down the Braves Tuesday, limiting them to two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings in the 4-3 win.

It's one of his best outings of the season and just the second time all year he's managed to go seven innings. Latos has always been a slow starter and has now lowered his ERA from 5.97 to 4.35 over his last four outings. He'll get the Rockies at home this weekend.
