Kevin Newman Goes On 10-Day Injured List
1 year agoThe Cincinnati Reds placed infielder Kevin Newman (illness) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 14) with gastritis and selected the contract of infield prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Newman should be ready to return to the Reds when he's eligible on July 24. The 29-year-old hasn't had a ton of fantasy value as a part-time player at shortstop for the Reds, but he's hitting a decent .260 (52-for-200) with three home runs, 14 doubles, 27 RBI and 24 runs scored in 225 trips to the plate and 64 games. He's been especially useful against left-handed pitching, going 24-for-79 (.304) with all three of his long balls against southpaws.
