Christian Encarnacion-Strand Still Sitting
                
        
        Cincinnati Reds first baseman Christian  Encarnacion-Strand (hand) is missing yet again from the team's starting lineup in the series finale against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Encarnacion-Strand is missing his fourth straight game after being hit by a pitch on his left hand. With a scheduled off day coming on Thursday, hopefully the 24-year-old will be able to return on Friday for a series opener against the Baltimore Orioles. On top of his injury, CES has hit just .196/.222/.314 with two home runs and 16 RBI in his first 102 at-bats of the season. Jeimer  Candelario is at first base on Wednesday and is batting seventh, while Santiago  Espinal gets the start at third and hits sixth against Padres right-hander Joe  Musgrove. Neither Candelario nor Espinal have ever faced Musgrove in their careers.
