The hits just keep on coming for the Cincinnati Reds. On Wednesday, it was revealed that Nick Senzel, who’d been on the 10-day IL with knee inflammation, will undergo surgery on Friday and miss 4-6 weeks of action. This should officially end the Senzel is an outfielder experiment.

My heart goes out to Senzel. I know there’s the naysayers that constantly want to harp on how injury-prone the Reds centerfielder has been throughout his career, but let’s not forget that he’s just 25-years old.
