Farmer went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer sat out Monday's game with soreness described as "bumps and bruises" by manager David Bell. The infielder had little trouble at the plate Tuesday, as he launched his seventh homer of the season in the fourth inning. The 30-year-old had his second three-hit effort in the last five games, but he went 0-for-8 in three contests in between. Overall, Farmer is slashing .223/.292/.343 with 28 RBI, 27 runs scored and two stolen bases across 261 plate appearances.

Farmer (soreness) is starting Tuesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis

Manager David Bell said Farmer is out of the lineup Monday against the Royals to manage some "bumps and bruises," Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old appears to be dealing with some wear-and-tear at the mid-point of the season, and Bell hopes the infielder will be back in the lineup Tuesday. Farmer has struggled offensively since the start of June, slashing .213/.290/.309 with two homers, nine RBI and 13 runs in 31 games.

Farmer is not starting Monday's series opener in Kansas City, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer went 0-for-2 on Sunday, but was hit by a pitch twice and came around to score on both occasions. The 30-year-old is hitting just .172 with two RBI in his last 11 games. Eugenio Suarez will shift to shortstop and bat sixth Monday, with Alejo Lopez starting at third base.

Farmer went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer slammed a solo home run in the ninth inning to tie the game. He added a stolen base in the fifth inning and scored on a Jonathan India double in the second frame. It was the 30-year-old's first combo meal of the season. He doesn't have a lot of power or speed with six long balls and a pair of steals. On the season, he is slashing .222/.289/.330 in 247 plate appearances.

Farmer will sit Monday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer hits the bench after starting 19 straight games at shortstop. He hit a modest .231/.311/.323 over that stretch, though that actually increased his OPS on the year to .598. Mike Freeman takes over for him Monday.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Mike Freeman will take over at shortstop in place of Farmer, who has emerged as a regular in the Cincinnati infield since Nick Senzel (knee) and Mike Moustakas (heel) hit the shelf with injuries in mid-May. Farmer's role still appears to be secure, but his fantasy appeal exists mainly in NL-only leagues at this point. Over 161 plate appearances on the season, Farmer has slashed .205/.273/.308 with four home runs, 17 RBI, 14 runs and one stolen base.

Farmer went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and five RBI in Monday's 11-1 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
His two-run shot in the third inning blew the game open and spurred Farmer to a career-best five-RBI day. The 30-year-old infielder snapped an 0-for-14 mini-slump with the performance, but on the season he's hitting only .215 with four homers, 13 runs and 17 RBI through 50 games.

Farmer went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer tallied his second three-hit game this week. His home run came in the 11th inning off Ben Bowden to give the Reds a two-run lead. The 30-year-old isn't hitting very well on a day-to-day basis, but he is receiving more playing time due to Joey Votto (thumb) being on the 10-day injured list. Farmer is slashing .241/.337/.337 with two home runs, nine RBI and 11 runs in 95 plate appearances.
