Drawing third straight start
Hayes will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.
Анализ
Hayes will pick up his third straight start at third base while Sal Stewart moves across the diamond and Eugenio Suarez settles in as the Reds' designated hitter. With the Reds recently placing Spencer Steer (wrist) on the injured list and trading away Nathaniel Lowe prior to Monday's deadline, Hayes' outlook for playing time has improved, but he's not necessarily locked in as an everyday player. Hayes is sitting on a dismal .444 OPS over 166 plate appearances this season, and if the Reds prefer to prioritize offense over defense, they could scale back his opportunities and have Suarez play third base more regularly while opening up more reps at DH for rookie Hector Rodriguez.

Homers twice in five games
Hayes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Pirates. He was also hit by a pitch.
Анализ
Hayes homered for the second time in five games, giving him four over 58 contests. This was his first start in four games, as he's been sharing the hot corner with Eugenio Suarez. The Reds are likely to be sellers heading into Monday's trade deadline and have seven players on expiring contracts, including Suarez. Hayes could get more consistent at-bats if Cincinnati trades Suarez, but the former's unattractive .145 average makes him a difficult play in fantasy leagues.
