Farmer went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Farmer's first-inning blast was all the run production the Reds could muster, but it ended up being enough. He's hit safely in eight straight games, going 14-for-28 (.500) with three of his four homers this season in that span. Overall, he sports a .254/.309/.420 slash line with 25 RBI, 16 runs scored, 11 doubles and two stolen bases in three attempts across 153 plate appearances.

Farmer went 4-for-4 with two homers, five RBIs and three runs scored in Thursday's win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop had missed the previous three games due to general soreness, but Farmer returned in a big way Thursday. He opened the scoring for the Reds with a two-run shot off Cubs starter Justin Steele in the second inning and added a solo blast in the fifth. He also extended Cincinnati's lead to 13-5 in the sixth with a two-run single. Coming into the game, Farmer had just one home run, 17 RBI and was batting .227, but he now has three homers, 22 RBI and is hitting .250.

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.

Farmer (general soreness) will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Tuesday's game in Cleveland.
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
The plan all along was to hold Farmer out of action through the weekend and take advantage of Monday's off day before a potential Tuesday return. Matt Reynolds is starting at shortstop and leading off.

Farmer's absence from the lineup for Saturday's game against Pittsburgh is due to general soreness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The issue doesn't seem particularly serious, as Farmer will be available off the bench, but he isn't expected to return to the lineup until Tuesday's game in Cleveland. Matt Reynolds starts at shortstop Saturday and will likely remain there for Sunday's series finale.
