Cincinnati Reds infielder Kyle Farmer has been scratched from the lineup for Monday's series opener against right-hander Chris Bassitt and the New York Mets.
Farmer was previously penciled in to play third base and hit fifth. Mike Moustakas will now be on the hot corner and Donovan Solano has been added to the lineup in place of Farmer. Solano will be the designated hitter and No. 5 batter on Monday.
Solano is averaging 8.0 FanDuel points per game this season. Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Reds’ implied total (3.24) is second-lowest in the majors on Monday.
