Scooter Gennett

Reds' Scooter Gennett (hand) is out again Friday

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett is out of the lineup for the third straight day on Friday.

What It Means:

Gennett had to make an early exit from the game on Tuesday and he has not played since with inflammation in his hand. Jose Peraza is back at second base Friday, but he is moving down to seventh in the batting order against right-hander Chad Kuhl.

Our models project Gennett to post a .275 batting average, with 2 home runs, 7 RBI, and 7 runs scored over 56 plate appearances remaining this season.
