Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Dealing with back injury
Rotowire
Hayes missed the last two games due to back soreness, Mike Petraglia of MLB.com reports. He did enter Thursday's 1-0 win over the Cubs as a defensive replacement in the ninth inning.
The back issue, which has bothered Hayes previously, cropped up during the Reds' series this week against the Cardinals. Cincinnati manager Terry Francona tried to get him time off then, but Spencer Steer came down with a neck injury. With Steer now back, Hayes can rest up. Francona said the third baseman, who's been managing the pain, could visit with a specialist by Monday. Sal Stewart served as the third baseman the last two games and presumably will continue to get the nod if Hayes misses more time.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Hitting better than expected
Rotowire
Hayes went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Cardinals.
Hayes had a couple of run-scoring singles in the game and is doing his best to dispel the notion that he's all glove and no bat. Since joining the Reds at the trade deadline, Hayes has a .756 OPS with 10 extra-base hits (three home runs), nine RBI, two steals and 12 runs scored over 28 games. One thing to monitor is how the Reds plan to use top prospect and third baseman Sal Stewart, who is expected to be called up Monday. Stewart may play some third base, but he's recently been given work at second base and is an ideal fit at DH.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Extends hit streak
Rotowire
Hayes went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Hayes extended his hit streak to seven straight games and has reached base safely in 11 consecutive starts. It's an encouraging stretch for the third baseman, who got off to a slow start after joining the Reds at the trade deadline, batting .167 (5-for-30) over his first nine games in Cincinnati. Over the subsequent 12 contests, Hayes is slashing .378/.465/.649 with seven extra-base hits, three RBI and nine runs scored. While the improvement is welcome, past history suggests Hayes is closer to the hitter he showed during that initial stretch for the Reds.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Homers in Reds debut
Rotowire
Hayes went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Thursday's 12-11 loss to Atlanta.
After homering just once in 392 plate appearances with the Pirates this year, Hayes went deep in his first game with the Reds, kick-starting Cincinnati's rally in an eight-run eighth inning. Hayes, whose previous homer came June 10, is slashing .235/.278/.297 with 39 RBI, 35 runs scored and 10 stolen bases this season. While Hayes plays excellent defense at third base, he could find himself in a part-time role after the Reds made another trade for Miguel Andujar on Thursday.

Reds' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Shipped to Cincinnati
Rotowire
The Reds acquired Hayes from the Pirates on Wednesday in exchange for shortstop Sammy Stafura, left-hander Taylor Rogers and cash considerations, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Hayes will greatly improve Cincinnati's defense at third base, as he is arguably the best defender in the game at the hot corner. The 28-year-old's offense is a much bigger question, as he's slashing only .236/.279/.290 with two home runs in 100 games this season and has an underwhelming .254/.307/.369 batting line in his career. Hayes should benefit from a major park upgrade in going from PNC Park to Great American Ball Park.
