Scott Rolen delivered an RBI single, accounting for all of the Reds offense in a losing effort against the Pirates on Saturday. Rolen finished the evening 1-for-4. The 37-year-old third sacker has really struggled through another injury plagued season, hitting .243/.319/.387 with seven homers and 38 RBI through 281 at-bats. With the emergence of Todd Frazier, it's unlikely that Rolen returns to his starting role on next season's Reds' squad.

Scott Rolen is currently dealing with a back issue. Rolen missed a few games last month with back soreness, so the Reds aren't going to take any chances. Todd Frazier will start in his place Friday night and should continue to get semi-regular playing time down the stretch, even with Joey Votto back from the disabled list.

Scott Rolen (back) is not in the Reds' lineup Tuesday for the fifth straight game. The Reds also had a day off Monday, but Rolen still isn't quite ready. "He mentioned that he possibly could play today, but we've still got to make sure," manager Dusty Baker said. "We don't want him to keep coming on and off. We want to keep him on as much as we can, as long as we can." It does sound like Rolen is close, though Baker didn't rule out placing Rolen on the DL if he doesn't return soon.
