Schebler is not in the lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Schebler was expected to return to the lineup Thursday, but it appears his ailing elbow isn't back to full health as initially expected. The Reds will give him another day off to rest, allowing Jesse Winker, Adam Duvall and Billy Hamilton to patrol the outfield once again.

Schebler (elbow) is expected to return to the lineup Thursday against the Pirates, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schebler was scratched from the lineup Monday against the Cubs with elbow soreness and remained out Tuesday. The Reds have an off day Wednesday, but Schebler is expected to be back after that, barring setbacks.

Schebler (elbow) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Schebler was scratched from Monday's contest with elbow soreness, and it seems like the issue hasn't completed subsided yet. The Reds will deploy Adam Duvall in left field, Billy Hamilton in center and Jesse Winker in right for Tuesday's tilt, and they will likely continue to do so until Schebler is healthy again.

Schebler has been scratched from Monday's game against the Cubs with a sore right elbow.

EDGE Analysis

Adam Duvall will take Schebler's place in the lineup, hitting sixth and starting in left field (with Jesse Winker shifting to right field). It's unclear when Schebler picked up the injury or how serious the ailment is, but more should be known following the conclusion of Monday's contest.

Schebler went 2-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored Saturday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Schebler started in center field and hit fifth. He managed a solo shot off Stephen Strasburg in the fourth, though it wasn't nearly enough, as the Reds fell 13-7. It remains to be seen how the Reds' outfield situation will shake out, though Schebler certainly helped his cause on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Reds are likely to rotate four outfielders (Schebler, Adam Duvall, Jesse Winker, and Billy Hamilton) through three spots. Against tough righties, such as Friday's opposing pitcher Max Scherzer, expect Duvall, the sole right-hander in the group, to be the one to sit. Just how much Schebler ends up playing is something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks. Winker is younger and more promising, but Schebler is a competent hitter (100 wRC+ last year) so the Reds will want to get him his at-bats. He's also the one likely to fill in at center on Hamilton's days off.

Schebler will be the one who mans center field for the Reds when Billy Hamilton gets a day off in their four-man outfield rotation, MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports. "Any time Billy Hamilton is your starting center fielder and you're giving him a day off, it would be hard to find a comparable player to defend the way Billy does," manager Bryan Price said. "But Scott, I think, has good instincts in center field. He's not Billy Hamilton, but it's not like we're putting some rookie kid out there that doesn't know the routes and hasn't played the position. I think he'll do a fine job there."

EDGE Analysis

This gives Schebler an advantage over Jesse Winker and Adam Duvall in terms of potential playing time in this rotation. It's noteworthy that the Reds didn't mention Ben Revere in this conversation, viewing him instead as a reserve instead of as one in a rotation.

Schebler could act as a reserve outfielder more frequently now that the Reds plan to employ a four-man rotation in the outfield in 2018, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jesse Winker's emergence as a legitimate big-league option last season forced Cincinnati's hand in this issue. Schebler certainly has good things going his way, such as his versatility to play all three outfield spots and his 30-homer campaign in 2017. That said, his batting average was quite low last season, and his strikeout rate continued to be an issue. Playing time could be fluid for the Reds, so it's worth monitoring throughout the season who's getting more innings in Cincinnati's crowded outfield.

Schebler is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

After appearing in 140 games this season, Schebler will make his way to the bench for the final tilt of the regular season. He'll finish the campaign with a .233 average and 30 home runs, good for a wRC+ of 100.

Schebler is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schebler went 3-for-8 (.375) with a homer in the first two games of the series, but he'll head to the bench for Thursday's series finale after starting six consecutive games in right field. In his place, Jesse Winker will start and bat fifth.
