Cincinnati Reds center fielder Nick Senzel (15) is congratulated by Cincinnati Reds right fielder Tyler Naquin (12) after scoring in the second inning.
Tyler Naquin is riding a 10-game hitting streak and his play of late gives the Cincinnati Reds some long-term security in center field. During his last 10 starts, Naquin is hitting .410 with three home runs and seven RBIs and posting a 212 wRC+.
Naquin’s success this season and Nick Senzel’s injury-riddled past suggest that the Reds’ former first-round pick may not have a starting spot in the Cincinnati lineup if and when the 26-year-old returns from the IL.
