Getting turn in leadoff spot
Rodriguez will start in right field and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Giants.
Analyse
Reds manager Terry Francona is shaking things up a bit as he aims to jumpstart a struggling offense. Rodriguez earned the bump up in the lineup after going 5-for-13 with one home run and one double over his last four contests. It's the first time in his young big-league career that Rodriguez has batted higher than sixth. Usual leadoff man Elly De La Cruz is batting second for the Reds.

Sitting Monday

Analyse
Rodriguez has gone 4-for-10 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored over his last three outings, but he'll be on the bench for Monday's series opener. Ivan Johnson, Dane Myers and JJ Bleday will man the Reds' outfield from left to right.

Hits first big-league homer
Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and two total runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
Analyse
The seventh-inning homer was Rodriguez's first in the majors. This was also his first multi-hit effort, as his career has gotten off to a bit of a slow start. Over 13 games, he's batting .162 with three RBI and a 4:9 BB:K. He's seeing time as a strong-side platoon option in right field.
