Reds Roster Shake-Up Ahead of All-Star Break | Cincinnati Reds News

Reds infielder Matt McLain goes on the IL with a calf strain, retroactive to July 8, putting him back on track for a return just in time for the All-Star break. To make room, the team activates third baseman KeBryan Hayes, who’s back from a seven-week back injury — a defensive upgrade that could be crucial. McLain, a high draft pick with a solid rookie year, hasn’t hit the same this season, while Hayes, a Gold Glove winner, brings elite defense after a rough offensive stretch. With the Reds at 42-50 in the NL Central, their offense has struggled — McLain’s health and performance in the second half could be key to climbing the standings.
