Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Powers Reds with two homers
Rotowire
Stephenson went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Rockies.
After Nathaniel Lowe gave Cincinnati an early lead with a three-run homer in the first inning, Stephenson followed later in the frame by taking Ryan Feltner deep for a two-run shot. He added a solo homer in the fifth before capping his night with a double in the seventh, marking his first multi-homer game of the season. Stephenson now has eight home runs on the year and has gone 19-for-50 (.380) over his last 15 games. The 29-year-old is slashing .247/.325/.396 across 75 games this season.

Reds' Hunter Greene: Earns second win
Rotowire
Greene (2-1) earned the win Sunday against the Rockies, allowing three runs on four hits while striking out seven over six innings.
Greene surrendered a solo homer to Hunter Goodman in the first inning but responded by allowing just one hit over the next four frames. Goodman got to him again with a two-run shot in the sixth, though Cincinnati had already plated nine runs by then. Greene's outing landed in between his two previous starts since returning from the injured list -- an eight-run clunker and a dominant seven scoreless inning 12-strikeout performance. He's lined up to face the Cardinals on the road in his next scheduled start.
Arroyo is out of the lineup for the series finale against Colorado on Sunday.
After being pinch-hit for in the seventh inning of Saturday's matchup, Arroyo will ride the pine on Sunday. Spencer Steer will man second base and bat cleanup for the Reds.
Myers started in center field and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 10-3 loss to Colorado.
Myers made his first start and second appearance since being activated from the injured list Friday. He got the start against a right-hander, which until recently has been TJ Friedl's assignment. The two will share center field while Blake Dunn (elbow) remains sidelined.
Reds' Jose Trevino: Hits two homers in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Trevino went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs during the Reds' 10-3 loss to the Rockies on Saturday.
The Reds could not match the offensive output of the Rockies on Saturday, but Trevino did his part with solo homers in both the third and fifth innings. It was the first multi-homer game of the season for the veteran catcher and the third of his major-league career, with the last instance taking place May 12, 2024 against the Rays while playing for the Yankees. Trevino has a .715 OPS with three home runs and 10 RBI across 74 plate appearances this season.

Reds' Rhett Lowder: Chased in third inning
Rotowire
Lowder (3-7) took the loss against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing eight runs on 11 hits while striking out two across 2.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.
Lowder was briefly shifted to the bullpen in early July, but coming out of the All-Star break, he was back in the rotation after Nick Lodolo (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list this past Sunday. Lowder got off to a rough start to the second half of the season, giving up at least two runs in each of the three frames he pitched. The eight runs and 11 hits he surrendered Saturday both matched career highs set earlier in the year, and Lowder sits at a 5.75 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 72 innings this season. Assuming he gets another turn in the rotation, Lowder is lined up to face the Cardinals on the road next weekend.
