Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After a three-game absence to begin the week due to a hand injury, Farmer returned to the lineup Wednesday and started in each of the Reds' last five contests, going 2-for-19 with a double, two runs and an RBI during that stretch. Farmer isn't believed to have suffered any sort of setback with his hand, so his absence from the lineup Sunday is likely just a maintenance day. Matt Reynolds will fill in for Farmer at shortstop.

Farmer (hand) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer's hand injury will keep him on the bench for the third game in a row, but the Reds seemingly have optimism he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. According to Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer, manager David Bell said Farmer was re-evaluated Tuesday and received more good news, though the skipper didn't go into any specifics. Matt Reynolds will fill in at shortstop and should operate as the primary option at the position for however long Farmer is sidelined.

Farmer (hand) "likely won't start in the next couple days," according to Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer remains on the active roster for now, but he was spotted wearing a soft cast on his injured hand, and it appears he will miss more time. Matt Reynolds will likely serve as Cincinnati's top shortstop until Farmer is ready to return.

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 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.
