Goodwin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
After checking out of the lineup Tuesday with southpaw Brett Anderson on the bump for Milwaukee, the lefty-hitting Goodwin will remain on the bench for the series finale, despite the fact that the Brewers are starting a right-hander (Adrian Houser). Goodwin has posted a .557 OPS in September while striking out in 36.5 percent of his plate appearances, so his hold on a strong-side platoon role could be loosening. Aristides Aquino will replace Goodwin in the outfield for the second straight day.

Goodwin will be on the bench Tuesday against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin hasn't started against a lefty since joining the Reds at the deadline, and that trend will continue against Jose Quintana here. Nick Senzel gets the nod in center field.

Goodwin will start in center field and will bat seventh Monday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin's status as the Reds' top center fielder looked to be threatened when Nick Senzel was reinstated from the 10-day injured list last week, but the former has been able to maintain his perch atop the depth chart. Though Goodwin is only slashing .163/.245/.349 since coming over in a deadline-day deal with the Angels, manager David Bell is apparently more comfortable with him at this point than Senzel, who has yet to get going at the plate at any point this season. Senzel, who will be on the bench for the third time in four days, could still replace Goodwin in the lineup versus left-handed pitching.

Goodwin is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin had been the Reds' primary center fielder when he initially joined the team at the deadline, as Nick Senzel was out for undisclosed reasons. With Senzel now back, Goodwin will likely make just the occasional start in center, though he'll also presumably be splitting time in left field with Shogo Akiyama. Akiyama starts there in this one.

Goodwin went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin got his club on the board in the second inning with a two-run homer over the wall in left. He's now homered in two straight contests, accounting for both of his long balls on the season. Goodwin is hitting .206 with four extra-base hits and four RBI over 13 games with Cincinnati in 2020.

Goodwin is not in the lineup for the afternoon portion of Monday's doubleheader against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin hasn't done much since joining the Reds at the deadline, hitting .194/.265/.355 over 12 games, though he's at least helped fantasy players out with four steals. The return of Nick Senzel (undisclosed) could cut into his playing time down the stretch, though he should still feature fairly frequently. Shogo Akiyama will start in left field on this occasion.

Goodwin went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-5 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The long ball, a second-inning shot off Carlos Martinez, was Goodwin's first since coming over from the Angels in a deadline trade. Goodwin has been running a lot more often since the move, swiping four bags already through 12 games with the Reds, and he will have a good chance to boost his slash line further with the team lined up for 10 straight games at Great American Ball Park.

Goodwin went 0-for-2 with a stolen base and a walk in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Goodwin's walk came in the fourth inning, and he stole second with two outs, but couldn't come around to score. It was his fifth steal of the season in 38 games between the Reds and Angels. He's added four homers, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored, but he's seen more of a part-time role since he was traded to Cincinnati.

Goodwin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
For the first time since he joined the Reds at the deadline, Goodwin will hit the bench against a righty (Alec Mills). Shogo Akiyama starts in center field in his absence, with Aristides Aquino starting in left.

Goodwin went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
He took advantage of the Bucs' battery of Trevor Williams and Jacob Stallings both times, swiping second base in the second inning after reaching on an error and then doing it again in the third after a single to center field. He's had less success at the plate for his new squad, however, and Goodwin is just 2-for-13 through five games to begin his Reds tenure.
