Farmer (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Matt Reynolds will step in at shortstop in place of Farmer, who exited Saturday's 4-1 loss with a hand injury. Fortunately for Farmer, X-rays on his hand returned negative, so he'll be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener with the Mets and is hopeful to avoid a stint on the injured list.

X-rays on Farmer's hand were negative after he was forced to leave Saturday's game, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer said he initially thought he broke his hand when he was plunked by a Spencer Strider pitch in the fifth inning. It sounds like everything is structurally sound, though Farmer admitted he could miss a game or two. The shortstop is not a fantasy superstar, but he has a respectable .280/.345/.411 line with five homers and four steals this season.

Farmer was removed from Saturday's game against Atlanta in the bottom of the fifth inning after he was hit by a pitch on his hand, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer drew a walk during his first plate appearance Saturday and was immediately removed from the game after being hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning. Matt Reynolds entered the game as a pinch runner and should see additional looks at shortstop if Farmer is forced to miss additional time.

Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer started the past eight games and will receive Sunday off after slashing .276/.344/.345 during that stretch. Matt Reynolds will take over at shortstop and bat sixth.

Farmer was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against Arizona for rest purposes, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer was working out prior to Wednesday's matchup but was removed from the lineup approximately an hour before the start of the game. However, the Reds said that he's fine and is simply out of the lineup for rest purposes. It seems likely that he'll be available off the bench during Wednesday's series finale against the Diamondbacks. Matt Reynolds will shift to shortstop and bat third while Albert Almora enters the lineup in left field.

Farmer went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer delivered a two-run single, his third hit of the game, in the 11th inning. Over his last four contests, he's gone 9-for-16 with four RBI, though he has just one extra-base hit in that span. The strong hitting has him up to a .283/.343/.435 slash line with five home runs, 37 RBI, 23 runs scored, four stolen bases and 14 doubles through 54 games overall.

Farmer went 4-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The shortstop put together his third multi-hit performance in the last six games and his third four-hit effort of the season, although it didn't lead to much actual production. Farmer continues to build on last year's breakout and has found another gear in June, batting .353 (12-for-34) through 10 games with a homer, two steals, four runs and nine RBI.

Farmer went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 14-8 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Despite missing three consecutive games in late May while tending to general soreness, Farmer hasn't missed a beat at the plate. Over his last 15 games dating back to May 17, he's slashing an incredible .442/.500/.750 with four home runs, 17 RBI and 10 runs and two stolen bases. While the production he's turned in the past three weeks is obviously unsustainable -- he's turned in a .475 BABIP during that stretch -- Farmer may be swinging too hot of a bat to ignore in shallower leagues where he may still be available.

Farmer is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Farmer will get a breather Friday after starting seven straight contests, going 11-for-24 with four homers, 11 RBI, seven runs and a stolen base in those games. Matt Reynolds will get the start at shortstop and bat ninth as the Reds face Josiah Gray on the mound.

Farmer went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in an 8-1 win Thursday over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

After being retired in his first two plate appearances, Farmer hit safely in his final two at-bats. He capped off the scoring in the five-run seventh inning with a three-run homer off Josh Rogers. The 31-year-old has been on a tear lately, hitting .452/.489/.810 over his last 12 contests.
