He\u2019s still firmly in the mix for a spot in the team\u2019s Opening Day starting rotation now that Hunter Greene will be out until July following his own elbow surgery, and Tuesday gives him yet another shot to prove he\u2019s ready.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Reds are rolling out a formidable lineup on the day, one that features Elly De La Cruz as well as Sal Stewart (playing 2B on the day), JJ Bleday (getting some interestingly timely run in RF), and TJ Friedl as the DH.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Hat-tip to Redleg Nation\u2019s Doug Gray for relaying today\u2019s travel roster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You\u2019ll notice that both Steele Hall and Tyson Lewis are included on today\u2019s travel roster. You may also notice that Lewis is listed as a 3B, which is interesting given that he\u2019s only ever played shortstop in his professional career to date (and, I believed, was considered a pretty solid defender there).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">First pitch is set for 4:10 PM ET, though there is no televised feed today. You\u2019ll need to seek out 700 WLW\u2019s radio coverage to follow along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Cincinnati Reds head over to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick on Tuesday afternoon to take on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":617321,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2405],"tags":[5,79233,167,52,4316,4,168],"class_list":{"0":"post-617320","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-colorado-rockies","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-cincinnati-reds-game-information","10":"tag-colorado","11":"tag-colorado-rockies","12":"tag-coloradorockies","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-rockies"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116206499740241426","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=617320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/617320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/617321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=617320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=617320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=617320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
