At this point, what do you have to lose? The Cincinnati Reds have a shake up in their starting outfield. Scott Schebler will be given the night off and Jesse Winker will receive his first career start in center field. While far from the ideal replacement for Schebler, putting Winker in center is worth a shot.
With Billy Hamilton in Kansas City, Nick Senzel on the injured list, and Phillip Ervin at Triple-A Louisville, the Reds have very few options to replace Scott Schebler in center field. Don’t read too much into this either, this isn’t a benching, but rather a way to give Schebler a night off.
