After spending just over a week with the big-league club, Hinds will make his way back down to Jacksonville. The 25-year-old logged just two at-bats with the Marlins in his second big-league stint this season and his first with Miami. The Marlins recalled Graham Pauley from Triple-A to take Hinds' spot on the active roster.

Marlins' Rece Hinds: Officially summoned from minors
Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Hinds from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.
Hinds is a career .172/.221/.426 hitter with a 42 percent strikeout rate over parts of three major-league seasons, but he has loads of power when he does connect. He would be worth a deep-league flier if he plays regularly while Owen Caissie (calf) is out, but there's no guarantee of at-bats for Hinds.

Marlins' Rece Hinds: Coming up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Marlins will recall Hinds from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of Thursday's contest versus the Mariners, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Hinds is expected to take the roster spot of the injured Owen Caissie (calf). Acquired from the Reds via trade in May, the toolsy Hinds is a career .172/.221/.426 hitter with a 42 percent strikeout rate over parts of three major-league seasons. The 25-year-old could see some playing time in Miami's outfield while Caissie is out, but Heriberto Hernandez and/or Esteury Ruiz are also in the mix.
The Marlins acquired Hinds from the Reds on Thursday in exchange for Zach McCambley, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Hinds had been designated for assignment by Cincinnati and will now get a fresh start in a new organization. The 25-year-old has huge raw power and has slashed .306/.423/.635 with seven home runs in 23 games this season at Triple-A Louisville. The downside with Hinds is that he has major contact issues, having posted a 42.0 percent strikeout rate thus far at the big-league level. Hinds will likely report to Triple-A Jacksonville initially.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Reds designated Hinds for assignment Sunday.
Hinds was optioned to Triple-A Louisville in early May after going 4-for-33 with 18 strikeouts in 12 games with the Reds, and he's now lost his place on the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old showcased his power potential in 2024 with five homers in his first 24 big-league games, but he was never able to develop much consistency with a 42 percent strikeout rate across 131 plate appearances.
The Reds optioned Hinds to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
The 25-year-old was called up in mid-April and immediately received some chances in the outfield, but he'll return to Louisville after going 4-for-33 with 18 strikeouts in 12 big-league games. Continuing his hot start to the season at Triple-A (five homers and a 1.246 OPS in 61 plate appearances), may not be enough for Hinds to get another look in the majors, considering his career 42.0 percent strikeout rate in 131 PAs with the Reds.

Rotowire
Hinds is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Tigers.
Hinds has gone 4-for-28 with 14 strikeouts in his first eight games of the season and finds himself on the bench Sunday for the third time in Cincinnati's past four contests. The 25-year-old may not have much more time to get his bat on track before potentially heading back to the minors. JJ Bleday is picking up a start in the outfield Sunday for the Reds.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Giving way to Benson on Wednesday
Rotowire
Hinds is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Though he appears to have overtaken Will Benson as the Reds' primary right fielder, Hinds will hit the bench Wednesday after four straight starts. Since being called up from Triple-A Louisville on April 14, Hinds has slashed .125/.185/.208 with five RBI and two runs in seven games.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Adds insurance runs
Rotowire
Hinds went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 extra-inning win over the Twins.
Hinds gave the Reds a cushion in the top of the 10th inning, when he delivered a two-run double. The outfielder, who was called up from Triple-A Louisville last Tuesday, has had an impact on two consecutive wins. On Saturday, he snapped an 0-for-28 slide in the majors dating back to last season when he drove in a run and scored in a 5-4 win. The righty-batter is sharing right field with Will Benson, and it's not a strict platoon. Four of Hinds' five starts have come against right-handers.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Not in Cincinnati lineup
Rotowire
Hinds is out of the lineup for Friday's contest in Minnesota.
Hinds started each of the last three games after he was promoted from Triple-A Louisville, but he'll grab a seat in this one. Will Benson will patrol right field and bat eighth for the Reds.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Hitless in debut
Rotowire
Hinds started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Giants.
Hinds made his season debut for the Reds against San Francisco lefty Robbie Ray. The outfielder was recalled earlier in the day to replace Noelvi Marte, who was optioned to Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move, and Hind is expected to platoon with the lefty-hitting Will Benson in right field. Hinds had a superb spring training, but he spent the first weeks of the season in Louisville, where he had a 1.246 OPS and five home runs over 13 games (61 plate appearances). The biggest adjustment Hinds made is laying off breaking balls lower in the zone, per C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. As a result, Hinds lowered his strikeout rate from 31.8 percent the last two seasons in the minors to 24.6 percent this year, and his walk rate shot up from 8.2 percent to 19.7 over the same timeframe.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Receives call to Cincy
Rotowire
The Reds recalled Hinds from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Hinds will receive his first call-up of 2026, joining the Reds' 26-man active roster as a replacement for Noelvi Marte, who was optioned to Triple-A on Monday. The promotion comes after Hinds got off to a banner start with Louisville, slashing .354/.475/.771 with five home runs and one stolen base over 61 plate appearances. With Marte out of the picture, Hinds and Will Benson will vie for playing time in right field.
The Reds are expected to recall Hinds from Triple-A Louisville prior to Tuesday's game against the Giants, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
He will take the roster spot vacated by Noelvi Marte, who has been optioned to Louisville. Hinds has earned the promotion following a monster start to the season with Louisville, having slashed .354/.475/.771 with five home runs, one stolen base and a 12:15 BB:K across 61 plate appearances. The 25-year-old has big power and speed upside, but the key for him will be making enough contact, as Hinds has struck out at a 38.9 percent clip during his time in the majors and a 31.4 percent rate at the Triple-A level. With Marte in the minors, Hinds and Will Benson are in line to see the bulk of the playing time in right field for Cincinnati.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Sent down to Louisville
Rotowire
The Reds optioned Hinds to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
Hinds will head back to the minors to begin the new season despite swinging a scorching bat this spring (1.388 OPS). The 25-year-old was a major offensive threat in the minors last season too, as he slashed .302/.359/.563 with 24 homers, 83 RBI, 79 runs scored and 21 steals across 435 plate appearances. If his impressive offensive performance continues into the start of the 2026 Triple-A season, he could earn a spot on the big-league roster relatively soon.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Bids for roster spot
Rotowire
Hinds started at designated hitter and went 2-for-2 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's spring game against the Angels.
Hinds has delivered a monster spring, going 15-for-38 (.395) with four doubles, one triple, five home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored. In any other year, he might be a no-brainer to claim a roster spot, but the Reds have several productive outfielders this spring. At this point, beyond the projected starters, there appear to be two outfield spots available. Hinds, Will Benson (1,038 OPS, four HR), JJ Bleday (1.072, four HR) and Dane Myers (1.180 OPS) are still in the mix.
The Reds optioned Hinds to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.
Hinds will end up as the roster casualty that makes room for Ke'Bryan Hayes, who was acquired by Cincinnati in a trade with the Pirates on Wednesday. Hinds owns a .959 OPS through 299 plate appearances in Triple-A this season but hasn't been able to translate it into MLB success, as he's gone just 5-for-43 at the plate in a Reds uniform.
