Heading to bench Wednesday
Hayes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Analyse
Hayes' .456 OPS places him last among the 367 major-league hitters who have logged at least 150 plate appearances this season, but his capable glove at third base, in addition to Reds' lack of appealing alternatives, have allowed him to maintain a fairly steady presence in the lineup. Though he'll be on the bench Wednesday, Hayes started in four of the previous five games.

Homers in loss
Hayes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Marlins.
Analyse
Hayes popped a fifth-inning home run, which was followed one batter later by a Matt McLain homer to give Cincinnati a 4-3 lead. The home run was the fifth of the season for Hayes, who has hit safely in three consecutive games. That represents the second-longest hit streak of 2026 for the third baseman, who had a four-gamer in April and is batting just .149 with a .456 OPS over 68 games and 186 plate appearances.
