It was Pages' first appearance of the 2025 season, as he looks to carve out a role behind Ivan Herrera, who went 4-for-7 with two doubles in his first two games.

  • Jose Trevino C | CIN

    Reds' Jose Trevino: Resting Sunday

    Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

He'll be rested for Sunday's matinee in favor of Austin Wynns, but Trevino should continue to see the lion's share of the starts at catcher until Stephenson is deemed ready to make his 2025 debut.
