McLain is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Spencer Steer and Edwin Arroyo will serve as the Reds' starters in the middle infield while McLain gets a breather in the series finale. McLain had started in each of the Reds' last 13 games, slashing .233/.365/.512 with three home runs, four stolen bases, four RBI and eight runs during that stretch.
