ST. LOUIS – Jose Barrero remained out of the lineup for the third consecutive game Saturday to begin the doubleheader as the Cincinnati Reds look for ways to help him offensively.
Since a two-day benching to allow him to work on swing adjustments, Barrero is hitting .159 with one extra-base hit and 17 strikeouts in 48 plate appearances. He cut down on his strikeout rate with the adjustment, but he’s still nowhere where the Reds need him to be as an everyday player.
