Cincinnati Reds infielder
Jose Barrero is starting in center field and is hitting ninth in the batting order on Friday against the New York Yankees and right-hander
Clarke Schmidt. With rookie
Matt McLain taking over the 6 in Cincinnati, Barrero has to find other avenues for playing time with the Reds. The 25-year-old hasn't been much of a fantasy commodity through 32 games this year, and batting in the nine-hole makes him completely avoidable for fantasy lineups. Barrero enters Friday's contest against the Yanks with a .237 average (23-for-97) with seven doubles, one home run, 12 RBI, three stolen bases and 10 runs scored in 109 plate appearances.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder
Jose Barrero left his team's 7-6 win over the Chicago Cubs on Monday with tightness in his right hamstring, according to the team. Barrero was pulled during the second inning after appearing to tweak his hamstring while running the bases following a leadoff single. He was replaced in the lineup by
Jason Vosler, who went on to hit a three-run homer. Barrero can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop
Jose Barrero is out of the starting lineup for a second straight game on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Barrero is hitting just .160 (20-for-125) with two home runs, 10 RBI and three stolen bases in 35 games for the Reds this year, and he's also gone just 7-for-39 (.180) with 17 strikeouts in 11 games in the month of September. With Barrero out again on Friday,
Kyle Farmer is starting at shortstop and batting third, while
Spencer Steer will get the start at the hot corner and bat eighth against Cardinals right-hander
Jack Flaherty.
Donovan Solano is also starting at first base and batting fifth in the order.

The Cincinnati Reds recalled shortstop
Jose Barrero from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. One of the organization's most promising prospects, Barrero made his Major League debut for the Reds last season, hitting .200 with a .286 on-base percentage and a stolen base in 56 plate appearances. So far in 2022, the 24-year-old is batting .209 with a .262 on-base percentage, nine home runs, and five stolen bases for Cincinnati's Triple-A affiliate. He's certainly a name to watch in dynasty leagues but is likely only an option for fantasy managers in deeper redraft leagues at the moment.
