Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Taking seat Wednesday
Rotowire
Hayes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Hayes occupied third base for the first two games of the series and went 1-for-7 with a home run and a walk. The long ball -- Hayes's second of the season -- brought his batting average up to .121 on the year. He'll cede the hot corner to Sal Stewart on Wednesday and could see his playing time start to dwindle a bit more if he remains an easy out at the plate.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Goes yard in loss
Rotowire
Hayes went 1-for-3 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs.
Hayes caught hold of a sinker that didn't sink and upped Cincinnati's lead to 3-0 in the fourth inning with a two-run shot. It was his second home run of the season and just his second and third RBI over 31 games. If the Reds are getting production from other areas of the lineup, they can live with the Gold Glove-winning third baseman batting .126 and providing minimal punch from the bottom of the order.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Taking seat Sunday
Rotowire
Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
Hayes will hit the bench for the second time in the past four games. The 29-year-old's .119/.278/.190 slash line through 90 plate appearances this season may finally be costing him playing time, although his expected stats (including a .237 xBA and .416 xSLG) aren't as dire. Sal Stewart is getting a look at third base Sunday while Spencer Steer starts at first base.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Taking seat Friday
Rotowire
Hayes is absent from the lineup for Friday's game in Minnesota.
Hayes is a woeful 3-for-47 with zero extra-base hits and zero RBI in his first 17 games this season. His defense at third base has helped keep him in the lineup most days, but the Reds will have no choice but to cut his playing time if Hayes' offense doesn't at least get to a passable level. Eugenio Suarez is at the hot corner Friday, and Nathaniel Lowe will serve as the designated hitter.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Hitting bench Sunday
Rotowire
Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Hayes will give way to Eugenio Suarez at third base in the series finale after he started in the Reds' first two games of the season while going 0-for-7 with a run scored. While Hayes has produced at well-below-league-average levels at the plate each of the past two seasons, his exceptional defense at the hot corner should keep him in the lineup more often than not.
Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Role unchanged by FA signing
Rotowire
Hayes is expected to remain the starting third baseman despite the Reds' signing free agent Eugenio Suarez on Sunday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
The organization reunited with Suarez, who played mostly third base for Cincinnati from 2015 to 2021 prior to being traded in March of 2022. Recognizing Hayes' value as a fielder -- he won a second Gold Glove at the hot corner in 2025 -- the Reds plan to deploy Suarez as the primary designated hitter while also giving him occasional starts at both corner infield spots.
Hayes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Pirates.
Hayes enters play Wednesday in a 0-for-24 drought at the plate, so he will begin the game on the bench. The Reds are rolling out Sal Stewart at third base as they try to even the series.
