Tyler Naquin Could Return On Tuesday
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (hamstring) could return for Tuesday's series opener against Milwaukee.

The veteran is batting .257 to go along with 38 RBI, 20 runs, 11 dingers, […]
Nick Senzel Expected Back In Mid-July
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (knee) is expected to return in mid-July. Senzel had surgery over a week ago to address inflammation in his left knee and landed on the 10-day injured list as a result. However, with a .261 average, fantasy managers outside of dynasty formats can safely drop him without looking back.

Tyler Naquin Leaves Sunday's Game With Hamstring Tightness
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin left Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals with left hamstring tightness. Outfielder Shogo Akiyama pinch-hit for Naquin during the third inning of the game.
