Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds and Odds
Digest more
The Cincinnati Reds will need to take back-to-back games against the Los Angeles Dodgers if they want to win their fourth straight series.
The Dodgers switched up their rotation order for this week's series against the Reds at Dodger Stadium, moving left-hander Tarik Skubal up to Tuesday and pushing right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto back to Wednesday.
The Reds snapped a nine-series losing streak to the Brewers at home with a slugfest win at Great American Ball Park Sept. 6.
The Cincinnati Reds made a somewhat surprising roster move on Monday afternoon when they activated infielder Ke'Bryan Hayes from the injured list. They decided to send Edwin Arroyo back down to Triple-A Louisville. Hayes has been on the injured list since late October with a strain in his left groin.
The Reds activated Hayes (groin) from the 10-day injured list Monday. Hayes has been out for almost two weeks with a left groin strain, but he'll skip a rehab assignment and go right back onto the active roster. He will start at third base and will bat ninth in Monday's game against the Dodgers.
In his first official workload-limited start, Reds All-Star Chase Burns pitched 3 hitless IP against the Dodgers before Brandon Williamson took over. Cincinnati Reds starter Chase Burns allowed only 1 runner on a walk, and struck out 5, before he was lifted as part of a workload management plan.
