The Cincinnati Reds will be missing their MVP candidate and their third hitter in the lineup for the near future.
On Friday, the Reds placed outfielder Nick Castellanos on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Tuesday with a microfracture in his right wrist.
Castellanos was hit by a pitch on Friday, and he appeared in Monday’s game as a pinch-hitter. But after Wednesday’s game, Reds manager David Bell said the team learned that Castellanos had a small fracture following a CT scan.
“In some ways, surprised, in some ways, not,” Bell said about the small fracture.
