EDGE Analysis

Farmer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop took Sam Howard deep in the eighth inning to tie things up at 4-4, but Mychal Givens faltered in the ninth to keep the Reds tumbling down in the NL wild-card race with their fourth straight defeat. Farmer has set career highs with 14 homers, 52 runs and 55 RBI on the season, but his .256/.309/.403 slash line highlights his limitations as a hitter.

Farmer returned from the paternity list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer had been away from the team since Friday. He'll likely return to his role as the Reds' primary shortstop going forward, though it wasn't Jose Barrero who was optioned in his place, so he could potentially have competition. Instead, Brad Brach was designated for assignment.

Farmer was placed on the paternity list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Players typically spend three days on paternity leave. That would keep Farmer out for the entirety of the weekend series in St. Louis but leave him ready to return Tuesday in Pittsburgh following Monday's off day. Jose Barrero was called up to take his place on the roster and will start at shortstop Friday.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Unless he's summoned from the bench as a pinch hitter, Farmer will put his seven-game hitting streak on hold Wednesday. Jose Barrero will pick up a start at shortstop in Farmer's stead.
