The Reds optioned Dunn to Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn appeared in 30 games for the Reds but slashed .150/.320/.233 with one home run, seven RBI, 10 runs scored and an 8:25 BB:K across 75 plate appearances. The Reds recalled Will Benson from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Dunn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game at Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
With injuries mounting for the Reds, Dunn has picked up starts in the outfield in five of the past seven games, but he was unable to capitalize on the opportunity. He went 0-for-15 with 10 strikeouts and one walk during that stretch, and he'll now find himself back on the bench Wednesday while recent call-ups Jacob Hurtubise and Rece Hinds flank TJ Friedl in center field. Dunn might be at risk of a demotion if Austin Hays (hamstring) is able to return from the injured list this weekend, though Dunn's spot with the big club would likely be safe if Jake Fraley needs more time to recover from the calf issue that will keep him out of the lineup Wednesday.

Dunn entered Monday's game after Tyler Callihan (forearm) was removed and went 0-for-2 in a 4-0 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Callihan fractured his forearm crashing into the outfield wall and was removed from the game. Dunn took over in left field, which has been a rotation since Austin Hays (hamstring) landed on the 10-day injured list. Callihan, Gavin Lux and Santiago Espinal have taken turns there since Hays' injury.

Dunn started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 1-0 win over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn served in left field, as Gavin Lux moved to second base after the Reds placed Matt McLain (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. Lux, who had been filling in for the injured Austin Hays (calf) in left field, is now covering for another injured teammate. Hays is expected to return at some point during Cincinnati's homestand, which begins Friday and runs to the following Thursday. As part of Tuesday's roster moves, the Reds also recalled outfielder Will Benson, a left-handed bat that could also see time in left field.

Dunn started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in Monday's 2-0 win over San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn was a late addition to the starting lineup after Jake Fraley was scratched with left side pain. The fill-in outfielder struck out in his first three at-bats, but Fraley's absence turned fortuitous when Dunn drove in the game's only runs in the eighth inning. He's batting just .176 (3-for-17) and struck out eight times to open the season, but Dunn's homered and doubled in his last two outings.

Dunn is a late addition to Saturday's lineup against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn had originally been slated to begin the game on the bench, but he's been called upon to start with Matt McLain being scratched due to a hamstring injury. Dunn will patrol center field and bat eighth against the Brewers.

Dunn isn't in the lineup Saturday for Cincinnati's matchup versus Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn started each of the Reds' previous two games, as the team faced back-to-back southpaw starters. However, with righty Elvin Rodriguez on the mound for the Brewers on Saturday, Dunn will sit while Jake Fraley starts in right field. Dunn has had a rough beginning to the campaign, going 1-for-10 with no walks and three strikeouts thus far.

Dunn started in right field and went 0-for-2 in Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
With a left-hander on the bump for Milwaukee, the righty-hitting Dunn got the start in right field ahead of Jake Fraley. Gavin Lux pinch hit for him when a right-handed reliever entered the game. It was his third start of the season for Dunn, one at each outfield position. He should be in the lineup most days when an opponent sends a southpaw to the mound.

Dunn started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Dunn made his second start of the season -- the previous one was in center field. Cincinnati manager Terry Francona shuffled the lineup to account for injuries and rest days, resulting in the start for Dunn, who is normally a fourth or fifth outfielder. He's 1-for-7 with two strikeouts so far this season.
