The Cincinnati Reds stand 36-41, tied for last place in the National League Central with the Pittsburgh Pirates. With their 78th game of the season set to be played against the Los Angeles Angeles tonight in Anaheim, they’re almost to the exact mid-point of the 2019 season, and they’ve gotten there without a single PA from the player that lead them in fWAR in 2018, Scooter Gennett.
That’s set to change by Friday, however, as The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans documented earlier today. Gennett wrapped his rehab with an 0 for 4 performance for AAA Louisville in their game against Indianapolis on Tuesday, and has headed for Cincinnati to rejoin his big league brethren prior to their series opener in GABP against the Chicago Cubs on Friday night.
