Hays went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder notched his seventh career multi-homer game and his first since June 3, 2024 when he was donning an Orioles uniform. Hays broke a 2-2 tie in the fourth with a 406-foot solo shot off Anthony Senzatela, and then he gave the Reds the lead again in the sixth inning with another solo homer off Senzatela, blasting it 429 feet to center. Hays has been a revelation since being activated from the injured list April 15, as he's now slashing .386/.449/.773 with five homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored across 49 plate appearances.

Hays is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Hays had started each of the first eight games upon his activation from the 10-day injured list, but he'll get a breather for Wednesday's matinee. Gavin Lux is in left field and Jeimer Candelario is at designated hitter for the Reds.

Hays went 4-for-6 with a double, four runs scored and one RBI in Sunday's 24-2 victory over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

With this performance, Hays notched his second career game with four runs scored, first achieved April 11, 2023. The 29-year-old outfielder picked up his first double of the season off Cody Poteet in the fifth to knock in his lone RBI of the game. Hays has been hot since being activated from the injured list April 15, slashing .429/.467/.786 with three homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored over 30 plate appearances.

Hays went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Hays popped his home run in the ninth inning and has hit safely in all five games since being activated off the injured list last Tuesday. The long ball was his third to go along with seven RBI.

Hays went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 11-7 loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Hays gave the Reds a lead early, when the cleanup hitter belted a two-run home run in the first inning. He didn't need much time to get his timing down after spending the first two-and-a-half weeks on the injured list. Hays has hit safely in all three games played since being activated, going 4-for-13 with two homers and six RBI.

Hays went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's win against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Hays was activated from the injured list after recovering from a calf injury and made an immediate impact in his Reds debut. He knocked an RBI single in the third inning before ripping a three-run shot in the fifth. Hays posted a .699 OPS in 255 regular-season plate appearances with the Phillies and Orioles during the 2024 campaign. As things stand, he appears to have a good share of playing time in left field for the Reds.

The Reds activated Hays (calf) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hays is ready to make his season/Reds debut after missing nearly the first three weeks of the season with a strained calf. The 29-year-old is expected to see the bulk of the starts in left field for Cincinnati.

Manager Terry Francona said Sunday that he's hopeful that Hays (calf) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday for the Reds' series opener versus the Mariners, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Before a decision is made regarding whether Hays will be activated for the three-game series with Seattle, the Reds plan to evaluate him Monday after he played for Triple-A Louisville on three consecutive days over the weekend. He went 2-for-9 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and one stolen base across those contests, and perhaps most importantly, Hays logged nine innings in right field Sunday. Once activated, Hays should handle a near-everyday role at either corner-outfield spot, and his arrival could provide a needed boost for a Reds offense that has thus far produced a team wOBA of .268, the third-worst mark in the majors.

Hays (calf) started in left field and went 0-for-2 with an RBI in a rehab game for Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hays began a rehab assignment and played seven innings in the field. He had been scheduled to begin the assignment Thursday, but the game was rained out. Hays will appear in three of the four games in this series against Indianapolis. After playing the field Friday, he'll serve as the DH in one half of Saturday's doubleheader, but then back to the field Sunday. Presumably, that activity will be enough for Hays to be activated and play Tuesday at home against Seattle.
