Moustakas' X-rays on his foot came back negative Friday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas left Thursday's game against the Cubs after getting hit in the foot by a pitch and is not in the lineup Friday against the Cardinals. Given that he's avoided a fracture, however, it's likely that he'll be able to return to the lineup before too long.

Moustakas left Thursday's game against the Cubs with a foot contusion, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The injury occurred when the infielder was hit by a pitch on his foot in the fourth inning. It's yet to be determined if Moustakas will miss time beyond Thursday.

Moustakas went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas' long ball came off Cubs starter Yu Darvish in the first inning, and that was the only scoring for either team. The 31-year-old Moustakas has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 6-for-19 (.316) with two homers, four RBI and two runs scored in that span. He's slashing .236/.337/.416 with four homers, 14 RBI and seven runs scored in 29 contests overall.

Moustakas went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

While Moustakas did not start in the matinee, he did have a pinch-hit double off the bench in Game 1, so he was 3-for-4 for the day. The homer was especially good to see, as Moustakas had gone a whopping 21 games without a long ball and hit only two doubles during that stretch. Perhaps he's starting to feel like he has his legs under him again after his season was derailed early on by a quadriceps injury.

Moustakas is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas started the past 12 games but will take a seat for Friday's matinee after going 8-for-40 with 13 strikeouts during that stretch. Kyle Farmer will start at the keystone for the Reds in Game 1.

Moustakas went 0-for-3 with a walk Tuesday in the Reds' 16-2 loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas hit a home run in two of his first three starts of the season, but his power production has disappeared since then. Dating back to Aug. 1, Moustakas has churned out only one extra-base hit (a double) over a 19-game stretch. The extended power drought hasn't resulted in Moustakas falling in the batting order, as he'll slot in fifth in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.

Moustakas isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas is 2-for-9 with two RBI and one run over four games since returning from a quad injury, but he'll get a day off against left-hander Kwang-Hyun Kim. Kyle Farmer will start at second base Saturday.

Moustakas (quadriceps) is starting at designated hitter and batting fifth in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals. He is also planning to play the field in the nightcap, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's encouraging that Moustakas may start both games of the twin bill after being sidelined with a quad strain. This will be a homecoming of sorts, as he will be playing in Kansas City, his home city for the early phase of his career.

Moustakas (quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moustakas worked out at the Reds' alternate training site Monday, and it apparently went well since he's expected to return in time for the Reds' doubleheader against the Royals on Wednesday. The team's layoff gave the 31-year-old some extra time to recover from his bruised quadriceps. Moustakas slashed .238/.333/.524 with two home runs and six RBI over his first seven games of 2020.
