Reddick is out of the lineup Tuesday against Colorado.
Reddick struggles against left-handed pitching, batting just .140 against southpaw starters this season, so he'll be replaced by Sam Fuld in the lineup with Jorge De La Rosa on the mound. He'll finish the month of June with four home runs and 17 RBI to go with a .263/.288/.424 slash line across 24 games started.

Reddick went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a walk Thursday against Texas.
It was still not quite out of reach at 4-0 in hte eighth inning, then Reddick broke things open with his ninth long ball of the year. He's hit safely in five straight games, going 9-for-18 (a cool .500) with three doubles and a homer in that span. We always knew Reddick had power, but the gains he's made this year in plate discipline and batting average are truly impressive. He now has more walks (24) than strikeouts (23) -- something Reddick's never come remotely close to achieving before.

Reddick went 2-for-4 with his eighth homer of the year Wednesday against Detroit.
He'd been slumping recently, with just three hits (all in one game) over his prior 19 at-bats coming in, but Reddick's shown outstanding plate discipline even when not going well at the plate this year -- he has more walks than strikeouts, thanks to a 5:1 BB:K over that same span. The oft-injured outfielder is currently sitting on a career-high .297 average and .870 OPS, as he's been one of the finest draft-day values this year. The question, as always, is whether he can stay healthy -- Reddick already opened the season with a brief DL stint due to an oblique injury and has only played more than 114 games in a year one time.

Reddick hit a three-run bomb in the 4-3 loss to Seattle Friday.
Reddick is just on fire and he's really cut down his strikeout rate to justify his strong play. Reddick now has 20 RBI in just 23 games and is hitting .354, which is impressive considering he has a .249 career average.
