Placed on IL with strained calf
The Reds placed McLain on the 10-day injured list with a strained calf, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Analyse
McLain was unavailable Thursday because of the injury and ultimately wasn't able to avoid a trip to the injured list. The 26-year-old has seen his role reduced, as McLain had started only five of the Reds' last 12 games before his placement on the IL. Calf strains typically result in longer than 10-day absences, but it's unclear how severe McLain's strain is.

Nursing minor calf issue
Reds manager Terry Francona said that McLain is not in Thursday's lineup against the Phillies due to a calf issue, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Analyse
It seems at this juncture to be a day-to-day injury, but with the All-Star break looming, the Reds could choose to put McLain on the injured list if he doesn't improve in a hurry. He's been playing center field lately versus lefties, but because McLain is banged up it will be TJ Friedl in center against southpaw Jesus Luzardo on Thursday.
