India (illness) is not starting in Sunday's game against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

India played through an illness in Saturday's game, but he was eventually removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. Santiago Espinal will start at second base, while Tyler Stephenson will serve as the DH for Sunday's game against Angels right-hander Jose Soriano. India will have a chance to suit up for Monday's series opener against the Phillies.

India was removed from Saturday's game against the Angels due to illness, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

India wasn't feeling well prior to the game but did his best to gut it out before finally being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning. He would seem to be a good bet to sit out Sunday, but consider India day-to-day for the time being.

India started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a walk and stolen base in Tuesday's 9-5 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

India, who was scratched from Monday's game after taking a batted ball off his leg during pregame warmups, returned to the lineup. All signs indicate the scratch was a precautionary move by manager David Bell. India played the field, batted leadoff and recorded his second steal.

India (leg) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

India had to be scratched from Monday's lineup after being hit on the left leg by a ball during batting practice. He's fine, though, and will be in his usual leadoff spot as the Reds go up against right-hander Joe Ross.

India (leg) has been scratched from Monday's lineup against the Brewers, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

India was initially set to start at DH and hit out of the leadoff spot, but he was scratched with a left leg contusion from being hit during batting practice. Bubba Thompson will enter the starting lineup at center field and bat ninth, while Will Benson shifts to DH.

Manager David Bell said India remains in the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers despite suffering an unspecified injury during batting practice, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

India appeared to get struck by a ball while some teammates were taking batting practice, but it's apparently not a serious injury. There remains a chance the 27-year-old is scratched closer to first pitch, but for now he's still penciled in to bat leadoff as the designated hitter.

India suffered an apparent injury during batting practice ahead of Monday's game versus the Brewers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

India was standing in foul territory while others were taking BP and it's possible he was struck by a ball before walking off the field with the trainer. According to Goldsmith, India returned to the field to take some BP himself, though it's unclear if that means he'll be available. He had been set to serve as the Reds' designated hitter and leadoff man Monday, but it's now possible he gets scratched.

India started at second base and batted leadoff in Thursday's 8-2 win over Washington on Opening Day. He went 1-for-4 with a walk.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds' planned second baseman, Matt McLain, injured his shoulder during spring training and underwent surgery Tuesday. He was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, which means India, who was training for a utility role, is expected to have a steady home for the first two months of the season.

India started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's spring game against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

India was back at second base but has been deployed at several positions during Cactus League action. The plan to convert him to a utility player is still active, but a shoulder injury suffered by Matt McLain could change India's role. McLain, who was set to be the primary second baseman this season, is getting a second opinion and possibly facing surgery. Should that happen, India could become the Reds' everyday second baseman, the same role he filled in 2023.

India started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's spring game against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

India, who was Cincinnati's primary starter at second base last season, continues to move around the diamond as planned. He could return to second base at some point, because the Reds announced Monday that their planned starter at the position, Matt McLain, will open the season on the injured list due to a shoulder injury. McLain plans to get a second opinion, and there's uncertainty as to how long he'll be unavailable. For now, it looks like manager David Bell will continue giving India work all over the field, but that could change depending on McLain's prognosis. Since the club announced the injury, Spencer Steer started at second in three consecutive spring games, and the Reds acquired Santiago Espinal from the Blue Jays.
