Expected back when first eligible
Reds manager Terry Francona said Friday that he's pretty confident McLain (hamstring) will be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Analyse
McLain's placement on the IL earlier this week with a left hamstring strain seemed largely precautionary, so it's not terribly surprising that he's trending toward a minimum absence. It appears the infielder will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back into the Reds' lineup once activated.

Placed on injured list
The Reds placed McLain (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left hamstring strain.
Analyse
McLain was reportedly available off the bench Monday, but the Reds will instead err on the side of caution and give him more time to recover while on the injured list. He hasn't played since Saturday, so he'll be eligible to return from the IL in a week. While he's out, Santiago Espinal could benefit from increased playing time at second base, or the Reds could move Gavin Lux to the keystone from left field.

Available off bench Monday
McClain (hamstring) is not in the Reds' starting lineup against the Giants on Monday but is available off the bench, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analyse
McClain will be out of the starting lineup for a fourth consecutive game due to left hamstring soreness, but he could be used as a pinch hitter Monday. Gavin Lux will start at second base and bat out of the cleanup spot against Giants right-hander Logan Webb.

Remains on bench Sunday
McLain (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
Analyse
The second baseman was scratched from the starting nine the past two days due to hamstring tightness, and while the Reds won't attempt to rush him back for Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee, he could be available off the bench. Santiago Espinal will start at the keystone and bat second in place of McLain.

May be out Sunday
McLain (hamstring) may be held out of the Reds' lineup Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Analyse
McLain doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious issue, though he was out of the lineup both Friday and Saturday after being a late scratch. Manager Terry Francona said the Reds will take a cautious approach as they don't want to force him into the lineup when he isn't at full strength, though he didn't go as far as to rule McLain out for Sunday's matchup against the Brewers.

No longer starting Saturday
McLain was scratched from Saturday's lineup against Milwaukee due to a tight left hamstring.
Analyse
McLain was also a late scratch due to the hamstring issue Friday, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter late in the contest. He was originally slated to return to the lineup Saturday but was subsequently removed. McLain had been penciled in at DH before being scratched, and that role will now be assumed by TJ Friedl, while Blake Dunn will move into the lineup in center field.
5. April 2025
Cleared to return Saturday
McLain (hamstring) is starting at DH and batting second against the Brewers on Saturday.
Analyse
McLain was a late scratch Friday due to a hamstring injury, but he was able to log a plate appearance as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old shortstop is back in the lineup Saturday, suggesting that the hamstring issue isn't a major concern. The struggling Spencer Steer is getting the day off, allowing McLain to stay off his feet as the team's DH. Meanwhile, Santiago Espinal is starting at second base.
