Moustakas (quadriceps) has yet to run or face live pitching as of Tuesday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas has been out for a week with a bruised quadriceps, though he previously hoped to be able to return Tuesday. He's since been placed on the injured list, as he's behind that more optimistic schedule, but he expects to be able to return when first eligible Sunday.

Moustakas (quadriceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to Aug. 6.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds previously hoped the 31-year-old would be able to return to action Tuesday, but he apparently requires additional time to recover from the left quad bruise. Moustakas will be eligible to be activated Aug. 16 against the Pirates. Kyle Farmer and Christian Colon should continue to fill in at the keystone for Cincinnati.

Moustakas (quadriceps) won't return to the lineup before Tuesday's game against the Royals, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas left Tuesday's game against Cleveland with a bruised left quadriceps and hasn't played since. Manager David Bell said Friday that he's considered out, rather than day-to-day, so he's unlikely to appear at any point in the weekend series against the Brewers.

Moustakas (quadriceps) is not starting Wednesday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
After dealing with a forearm injury, Moustakas returned to the lineup Monday but exited Tuesday's contest with a bruised left quad. The injury is apparently serious enough to keep him out of the lineup again as Josh VanMeter will take over at second base and bat seventh.

Moustakas (forearm) is in the lineup for Monday's game against Cleveland, batting third.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas was held out of the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Tigers after being hit by a pitch during Game 1. However, the issue was muscular and not particularly serious. The 31-year-old has gone 5-for-16 with two home runs and six RBI over his first five games this season.

Reds manager David Bell, speaking after Sunday's doubleheader, said that the Reds believe that Moustakas's arm injury is muscular in nature, John Fay of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "He got hit good in the arm. I do believe it is muscular. Temporarily that tightens up. It was impossible to do anything. The good news is if it's not near a bone, it will be a shorter recovery."
EDGE Analysis
The Reds are home on Monday for two games against Cleveland, then travel up to Cleveland for two more before hitting a three-game series in Milwaukee in a very important week. Hopefully we'll have more clarity on his status before Monday's rosters lock.

Moustakas suffered a left forearm injury in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Tigers and isn't starting in Game 2, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moustakas was hit by a pitch in the sixth inning of Sunday's first game and was subsequently removed. He'll be replaced at second base in Game 2 of the doubleheader by Christian Colon, who is batting seventh. Whether Moustakas will be available for Monday's game against Cleveland remains to be seen.
