Alexis Díaz - Recovering from hamstring injury Diaz has been held out of Cactus League play after tweaking his hamstring during pitchers' fielding practice about a week ago, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Diaz said Monday that he feels "great" now and expects to be ready for his Cactus League debut this weekend. If he is indeed ready to pitch later this week and can avoid setbacks, Diaz should have enough time to be ready for Opening Day. The righty is expected to open the 2025 season as the Reds' closer, although he could be on a relatively short leash after posting a 3.99 ERA and just a 22.7 percent strikeout rate in 2024.

Jake Fraley - Homers Sunday Fraley went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's spring game against the Cubs.
Impact Fraley launched his first homer and stole his first base in Cactus League action Sunday. At the very least, he'll be in the lineup against right-handers; the outfielder has a .504 OPS in 229 career plate appearances against southpaws. If healthy, Fraley's in line for 110-120 games, which is enough for him to post 20-plus steals, as he's done in each of the last two seasons.

Carson Spiers - Throws three innings Sunday Spiers allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three over three innings in Sunday's spring start against the Cubs.
Impact Spiers, making his second Cactus League start, became the first Cincinnati starter to reach three innings. The right-hander threw 37 pitches (26 strikes) and told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com following the game that he got another up-and-down in the bullpen to get "more pitches under my belt." He entered camp as a depth starter, likely destined for Triple-A Louisville, but injuries to Andrew Abbott (shoulder) and Rhett Lowder (elbow) could factor into where Spiers lands to open the regular season.

Andrew Abbott - Completes first live session of camp Abbott (shoulder) expressed optimism Sunday that he'll be ready for Opening Day after he recently tossed his first live batting practice session of the spring, Gordon Wittenmyer of...
Impact Just two days earlier, manager Terry Francona suggested that Abbott's availability for Opening Day was more of a question mark, but the southpaw's ability to face hitters is a big step in a positive direction. Abbott is likely to throw live BP sessions on at least a couple more occasions before the Reds include him in the Cactus League pitching schedule. He should still have enough time to get stretched out for starting duty before the Reds open their season March 27, but any minor snags in the buildup process would likely make him a candidate for a stint on the injured list.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand - Blasts second spring homer Encarnacion-Strand went 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's spring game against the Padres.
Impact Encarnacion-Strand led off the second inning with a solo home run, his second blast of the Cactus League. He's looking to put an injury-marred 2024 in the past; the 25-year-old corner infielder was limited to just 29 games by a wrist injury last season. While the Reds are using Encarnacion-Strand and others at both corner infield spots, he appears to be the team's expected starter at first base.

Nick Martinez - Makes second spring outing Martinez allowed one walk and struck out three over two scoreless relief innings in Saturday's spring game against San Diego.
Impact Martinez cruised during his second Cactus League appearance. He's allowed two hits and a walk with six strikeouts through four innings. Martinez entered after game-starter Brady Singer, but nothing should be read into that. Martinez is projected for a rotation spot.

Brady Singer - Unravels in second inning Singer allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over 1.2 innings in Saturday's spring start against the Padres.
Impact Singer had a largely uneventful first inning, working around a one-out double but issue during his second frame. The right-hander left some balls up in the zone early and eventually starting falling behind and walking batters before being removed with the pitch count at 42 (26 strikes). Other than the abbreviated outing, Singer is on schedule where he needs to be and is expected to shoot for three innings/60 pitches the next time out.

Spencer Steer - May open season on IL Manager Terry Francona said Saturday that Steer (shoulder) could begin the season on the injured list, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Impact Steer was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Padres due to his injured shoulder, and he elected to receive a cortisone shot after an examination, per Wittenmyer. This will force the 27-year-old to pause all activities for the next few days, and there's no telling at this point how long it will be before he's cleared to play in games.

Despite the result, Greene told Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer that his body felt good enough to throw five or six innings.

Andrew Abbott - Uncertain for Opening Day Manager Terry Francona indicated Friday that Abbott's (shoulder) availability for the start of the regular season remains up in the air, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquire...
Impact The left-hander finished last season on the injured list due to a shoulder strain, so he's had a slower, more deliberate buildup early in spring training. A bout with the flu slowed Abbott's progress this week, and Francona doesn't expect the 25-year-old to be built up to 100 pitches by the start of the regular season. He could still begin the season in the starting rotation if he can get built up to about five innings, otherwise Graham Ashcraft or Carson Spiers could get a turn or two before Abbott steps in as the No. 5 starter.
