Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (illness) was removed from Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels due to illness. "He wasn't feeling great," said Reds manager David Bell. "He was trying to play. He was doing everything he could to play through it." India went 1-for-3 with a run before exiting in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day. India has struggled this season, hitting .174 with four RBI and two stolen bases over 19 games in 2024. Santiago Espinal would see an uptick in playing time if India were to miss a few games.
Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (leg) returns to the lineup on Tuesday. India was scratched from Monday's game after he suffered a left-leg contusion after he was hit by a ball during warmups. After missing one game, India is set to lead off and play second base as the Reds take on the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Joe Ross at home. India is slashing .242/.405/.333 in nine games with three RBI but is still looking for his first home run this season.
Updating a previous report, Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India (leg) was scratched from Monday's lineup against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers due to a left-leg contusion that he suffered when he was hit by a ball during batting practice before the game. Manager David Bell initially said that India would serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff, but the team has decided against that now. Will Benson is now serving as the DH and batting eighth, while Bubba Thompson starts in center field and hits in the nine-hole against Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby. Outfielder Stuart Fairchild is in right field and hitting leadoff. Fairchild gains some DFS steam on Monday now that he's hitting atop the batting order. For now, fantasy baseball managers should consider India day-to-day and check back on Tuesday to see if he's back in the lineup.
Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that infielder Jonathan India (undisclosed) remains in the starting lineup on Monday, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff, as planned, against Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Aaron Ashby. India suffered an undisclosed injury when he was hit by a ball during batting practice and had to be looked at by a trainer, but apparently it wasn't anything serious since he remains in the lineup. The 27-year-old was set for a utility role for the Reds before the start of the season, but with second-year infielder Matt McLain (oblique) potentially missing most of the year now, India should be a lineup regular in 2024. The former National League Rookie of the Year in 2021 has started off 8-for-33 (.242) with no homers, three RBI and a stolen base in nine games this year and is batting .250 with an RBI in four career at-bats against Ashby.
Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that second baseman Jonathan India (foot) is on track to make his spring training debut on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. India dealt with plantar fasciitis in his left foot last year and was still bothered by it at the start of spring training, so the Reds have been slow-playing him in hopes that he'll be feeling better by Opening Day on March 28. The 27-year-old's fantasy stock heading into 2024 was already down due to the fact that the Reds plan to use Matt McLain as their primary second baseman, assuming he's healthy. It means that India is going to have to bounce around on the infield and in the outfield in order to find consistent playing time in what is now a pretty stacked Reds roster of position players. The former National League Rookie of the Year isn't guaranteed regular playing time this year.
