The Reds have a ton of studs who can play second base. Scooter Gennett is finally healthy (though he will be a free agent at the end of the season), Derek Dietrich (The Johnny Bravo of Earth 199999) mashed well enough for a solid month to cover the spread while Scooter was out, and Nick Senzel has proven his Swiss-army self out in center field (though he is a world-class defender at 2B and should be there long-term). But across the keystone at shortstop, the future is far less certain.
The Plan all along has been for Jose Peraza to be the solution at short.
