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.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Reds optioned Hinds to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
After being promoted from Louisville on June 22, Hinds appeared in seven games for the Reds and went 2-for-23 with four runs scored. In a corresponding move, the Reds reinstated Connor Joe (illness) from the 10-day injured list, and he'll likely replace Hinds as a short-side platoon player in the corner outfield.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Back on bench vs. RHP
Rotowire
Hinds is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Hinds was included in the lineup in four of the past five games while Cincinnati faced a parade of southpaws, but he'll be back on the bench Sunday against Zack Wheeler. Hinds looks as though he'll be limited to the short side of a platoon in right field with Will Benson until Jake Fraley (shoulder) returns from the injured list.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Moves up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Reds recalled Hinds from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.
Hinds will be up for the second time this season after he went 3-for-19 with a pair of home runs during a two-week stretch with the big club in May. He'll receive another look after slashing .381/.435/.683 with a palatable 21.7 percent strikeout rate so far in June for Louisville. Expect the Reds to deploy Hinds mainly as a short-side platoon player in the corner outfield or at designated hitter.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Bops homer in win
Rotowire
Hinds started in right field and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over Cleveland.
Hinds was added to the starting lineup when Gavin Lux was scratched due to back spasms. The outfielder did what he does best -- deliver an extra-base hit. Hinds has 15 hits in the majors over the last two years, and 13 have gone for extra bases.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Continues to flash power potential
Rotowire
Hinds went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a double and a walk in Thursday's extra-inning loss to Atlanta.
Making just his second appearance of the season so far, Hinds took Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias deep for a go-ahead two-run homer in the ninth inning. Hinds has flashed plenty of slugging potential during his brief major-league career -- he's now slashing .269/.345/.750 with six big flies, five doubles and 13 RBI along with two stolen bases over 58 lifetime plate appearances -- but he's struggled to lock down a consistent spot on the Reds' roster. The right fielder could get a chance to carve out a stable role while Noelvi Marte (oblique) is on the injured list, but there's no guarantee Hinds will stick around with the big-league club once Marte is healthy.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Starts in right field
Rotowire
Hinds started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.
Hinds was recalled from Triple-A Louisville and started in right field for Jake Fraley (calf), who is day-to-day. The Reds have a few outfield injuries -- Austin Hays (hamstring) and Tyler Callihan (forearm) are on the 10-day injured list -- so Hinds may get additional work in the next few days. He slashed .281/.343/.554 with eight home runs and 12 steals this season for Louisville.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Enters game due to injury
Rotowire
Hinds entered Thursday's game after Will Benson (finger) was removed from a 6-1 loss to St. Louis.
Benson was pulled after injuring his left middle finger during a bunt attempt in the sixth inning. Amed Rosario finished the at-bat, and Hinds entered to the play the field in the seventh. Hinds has just eight plate appearances (zero starts) since being called up in late August. Benson's X-rays came back negative, and there may not be an immediate need for Hinds to fill in.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Reds recalled Hinds from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Hinds takes Stuart Fairchild's (thumb) spot on the active roster as Fairchild hits the IL. Hinds hasn't been with the Reds since July 24 after going 12-for-40 (.316) with five homers during his first MLB stint. Though Fairchild served as Cincinnati's backup center fielder, all 10 of Hinds' big-league starts came in right field and it's unclear where the Reds intend to use the 23-year-old.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Goes deep in debut
Rotowire
Hinds went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's win over the Rockies.
Hinds was promoted from Triple-A Louisville for his MLB debut Monday and wasted no time making an impact. He doubled in the fifth inning for his first career hit before belting a 449-foot homer in the eighth. The 23-year-old produced a .698 OPS in 328 Triple-A plate appearances prior to his promotion.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Joins big-league roster
Rotowire
The Reds recalled Hinds from Triple-A Louisville on Monday. He'll start in right field and bat eighth in the Reds' series opener versus the Rockies.
Hinds will reach the big leagues for the first time after he slashed .216/.290/.409 in 77 contests this season with Louisville. The 23-year-old has hit 13 home runs and stolen 12 bases in 2024, but he's struck out at an unsightly 38.4 percent clip. Hinds will provide depth for a banged-up Reds outfield and will enter the starting nine right away, but he may just be a placeholder on the 26-man active roster until the newly acquired Austin Slater joins the club Tuesday.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Active at Double-A
Rotowire
Hinds (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday for Double-A Chattanooga.
The Lookouts only have a couple games left this season, but at least Hinds' injury was minor and only cost him 10 days. Hinds was a strikeout machine earlier in the year (42.7 K% in first 49 games), but he is slashing .323/.396/.668 with 18 home runs, 11 steals and an acceptable 24.7 percent strikeout rate over his last 220 at-bats. Given that the Southern League switched out the pre-tacked baseballs in early-July, it would seem that this recent run from Hinds is a more relevant dataset than his early season mediocrity. The former third baseman primarily played right field this year while also seeing time in left field and at designated hitter. He will need to be added to the 40-man roster this offseason if the Reds want to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Back in action for High-A club
Rotowire
High-A Dayton reinstated Hinds (hand) from its 60-day injured list Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
The power-hitting Hinds will rejoin the Dayton lineup for the first time since June 21 after a two-month absence due to a hamate bone fracture in his left hand. Hinds received the green light to head to Dayton after going 1-for-16 with two stolen bases during a recent six-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Suffers left hamate fracture
Rotowire
Hinds was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list with a left hamate fracture Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Hinds has struggled with strikeouts in the minors early in the season, as he's posted a 40 percent strikeout rate over 53 games at High-A Dayton. The 21-year-old played in Tuesday's game in Dayton but apparently sustained a hand injury that will require an IL stint. The team hasn't yet revealed a timetable for Hinds' return, but he'll presumably be forced to miss several weeks since he's dealing with a fracture.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Rejoins Low-A lineup
Rotowire
Hinds (knee) was reinstated from Low-A Daytona's 7-day injured list Tuesday and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his return to the lineup.
Daytona activated Hinds for his first appearance with the affiliate since June 2 after he completed an 11-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. The 20-year-old third baseman has appeared in 23 games for Daytona on the season, hitting .218 with four home runs and two stolen bases.

Reds' Rece Hinds: On shelf with torn meniscus
Rotowire
Hinds is on the 7-day injured list at Low-A Daytona with a torn meniscus in his left knee, Doug Gray of RedsMinorLeagues.com reports.
The recovery time for such an injury is typically four-to-six weeks after surgery. Hinds last played June 2, so he could return in late July or early August. A popular breakout candidate this year, Hinds was hitting .229/.319/.458 with four home runs, two steals and a 25.5 percent strikeout rate as a 20-year-old. A pitcher-friendly home park in Daytona has suppressed his numbers.

Reds' Rece Hinds: Joins player pool
Rotowire
Hinds was added to Cincinnati's 60-man player pool Friday.
Hinds was selected 49th overall by the Reds in the 2019 draft, but he played in only three games at rookie ball last year due to a quad injury. The 19-year-old will head to the alternate site to hopefully avoid a lost season of development.
