Reds News

Eugenio Suárez's return to the Reds is already paying dividends, as his huge homer clinched a narrow 6-5 victory over the Red Sox, injecting some much-needed life into a lukewarm offense that had been struggling with an xwOBA of just .240. The Reds are hovering at .500 this season, and with only two games played, speculation is running rampant about potential roster moves, including buzz around Ian Happ and Nathaniel Lowe. Meanwhile, Christian Encarnacion-Strand is being given one last shot to prove his worth at third base in Triple-A, perhaps to enhance trade value as the Reds look to reshape their roster. For now, the team sits at 1-1, and fans can only hope Suárez's power is a sign of better things to come.

Huge homer from Eugenio Suárez leads Reds past Red Sox
It had been a bit of a slow start to the season for Eugenio Suárez entering play on Sunday. It’s hard to fault him for it, of course, as he’d been away on the roller coaster that was Team Venezuela’s victory in the World Baseball Classic and had far from the typical spring training warm-up. […]
