Moustakas (heel) was moved to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas has already been out for a month with a heel injury. He appeared to be closing in on a return before suffering a setback during a rehab game Tuesday. He'll now be out until just after the All-Star break at the earliest, with the Reds yet to provide a concrete timeline. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the team to select Josh Osich's contract.

Manager David Bell said Thursday that Moustakas (foot) will be back in a walking boot for about a week before he's re-evaluated, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas returned to Cincinnati on Wednesday after he experienced a setback in Tuesday's rehab game with Triple-A Louisville, and his rehab assignment will officially be shut down for at least a week. The 32-year-old reportedly didn't tear his plantar fasciitis, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action following the setback. Kyle Farmer should continue to see increased playing time in his absence.

Moustakas (heel) has returned to Cincinnati after he experienced some soreness in Tuesday's rehab game with Triple-A Louisville, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds were hopeful that Moustakas could be reinstated from the injured list during their upcoming road trip in San Diego, but manager David Bell says that's now unlikely following the infielder's setback, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. It's not yet clear when Moustakas will be able to return to game action, but Kyle Farmer and Mike Freeman could continue to see increased playing time during the weekend series against the Padres.

Moustakas (heel) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday and could be activated during the four-game series at San Diego, which begins Thursday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old has been sidelined by a bruised right heel since May 18, but he's on the cusp of his return after a nearly monthlong absence. Moustakas is only expected to require a few games in the minors to get back up to speed, assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Moustakas (heel) has a good chance to return during the Reds' upcoming road trip, which runs from June 14 through 22, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas has already missed nearly a month with a bruised right heel. He ran the bases and took grounders Friday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, at which point his exact return date should become more clear.

Moustakas (heel) was running the bases and taking grounders at third base Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager David Bell said last weekend the 32-year-old was about a week away from a rehab assignment, though there's been no additional indication the infielder is set to begin said assignment. Moustakas has been sidelined since May 18 due to a bruised right heel, so he shouldn't need significant time in the minors before being activated.

Manager David Bell said Sunday that Moustakas (heel) is about a week away from starting a rehab assignment, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas landed on the 10-day injured list May 20 with a bruised heel. The club was hoping he would be able to return after the minimum 10 days, but he's taken a bit longer to progress. Given Bell's update, the infielder should be on track to return to the Reds' lineup by mid-to-late June, assuming he doesn't hit a snag in his recovery.

Moustakas (heel) was running in the outfield ahead of Monday's game against the Phillies, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas has been on the injured list since May 20 due to a right heel contusion. The team was initially hopeful that the third baseman wouldn't need to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the IL, but he's now missed more time than that and isn't starting Monday. It's not yet clear when Moustakas will be cleared to return to game action.

The Reds hope Moustakas (heel) won't need to spend more than the minimum 10 days on the injured list, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas left Friday's game against the Rockies with a bruised heel and remained out of the lineup since then, though he did appear twice off the bench, most recently on Tuesday. That means his move to the injured list can only be backdated by one day, but it looks as though he has a good chance to return when first eligible May 29 against the Cubs.

The Reds placed Moustakas on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right heel contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas had been out of the lineup for the last five games with the heel injury and apparently wasn't progressing as quickly as expected, so the Reds will shut him down for another week with the hope the extra rest helps resolve the issue. Infielder Max Schrock was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move, but Moustakas' absence should continue to open up regular starts for Kyle Farmer at either shortstop or third base.
