It's been a bad few weeks for the Cincinnati Reds as they approach the MLB All-Star Break. Injuries have taken their toll, forcing some infield roster moves. Before their series against the Chicago Cubs , the Reds made more transactions, according to the team's official account.
"The Reds today activated IL Ke'Bryan Hayes from the 10-day injured list and placed IF/OF Matt McLain (left calf strain) on the 10-day injured list, retro to 7/8," the Reds announced on X.
The Reds had previously placed Hayes on the IL in May and have been without him for nearly two months. Ultimately, it's been a rotating wheel of musical chairs with the injuries the team has had. Elly De La Cruz just returned from the injured list, but did not get to play long before one of his teammates was injured.

McLain is on the IL for the fourth time in his four-year career. In 2023, it was an oblique strain that caused him to miss a month. In 2024, he underwent left shoulder surgery to repair his torn labrum in his left shoulder, and that caused him to miss the entire season. Now, he has a calf strain. Earlier this season, he had a hamstring injury.
