Farmer won't play Monday against the Cubs due to soreness, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Exactly where Farmer is sore is unclear, so this may be simply a general wear-and-tear rest day. There hasn't been any indication that he's dealing with a serious injury, but it's still possible he needs more than one day to rest and recover. Matt Reynolds will get the start at shortstop in his absence.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out the final two games of the Reds' weekend series in Pittsburgh with the minor injury, Farmer is good to go coming out of Monday's team off day. He should settle back into an everyday role at shortstop, likely closing Alejo Lopez's window to take on extra work in the middle infield.

Farmer (general soreness) is out of Sunday's lineup against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer's absence from the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh is due to general soreness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer will get his first day off of the season after starting in each of the Reds' first 24 games and hitting .269 with seven doubles, zero home runs, 10 RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases. Matt Reynolds will spell Farmer at shortstop in the day game after a night game.

Farmer went 4-for-5 with four doubles, two RBI and a run in Wednesday's loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer notched an RBI double off MacKenzie Gore in the third inning, driving in Tommy Pham. He doubled again in his next at-bat in the sixth inning and proceeded to score off a Colin Moran sacrifice fly. He later doubled two more times and drove in another run. The four extra-base hits were his first since April 17 and he now has seven doubles in 64 at-bats.

Farmer will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Wednesday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

After moving down to the No. 2 spot in the order in Tuesday's 6-2 loss, Farmer will be back in the table-setting role for the fourth time in five games Wednesday. With Jonathan India (hamstring) landing on the injured list Tuesday, Farmer looks like he'll have security near the top of the order. Farmer is hitting .317 and is getting on base at a .378 clip this season, but the lack of productive and/or healthy bats in the Cincinnati lineup at the moment may not help him pile up runs despite handling leadoff duties.

Farmer is starting at shortstop and leading off Saturday against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's no surprise that Farmer is in the lineup, as he's started every game this season. However, his presence atop the order is significant given that he has primarily hit eighth across his first eight appearances. With southpaw Julio Urias on the mound and Jonathan India (hamstring) sidelined, Farmer will get his chance to lead off.
