GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Six days before Opening Day, the Reds learned they will be without one of their top hitters for at least the first two months of the season.
All-Star second baseman Scooter Gennett will be sidelined for 8-12 weeks with a right groin strain, which he suffered in a spring training game Friday. Gennett left the game in the second inning when he fell while fielding a sharply-hit ground ball in shallow right field.
Gennett needed help from trainer Steve Baumann and manager David Bell to walk off the field, and a cart was used to take him away from the dugout.
