Edwin Encarnacion is an infielder in major league baseball. He's a third baseman for the Cincinnati Reds and wears number 12. He is managed by Jerry Narron.
Dan Haren held the Cincinnati Reds scoreless into the seventh inning, showing why he's been the NL's stingiest pitcher in June, and connected on his first career homer Tuesday night during a 6-2 victory that snapped the Arizona Diamondbacks' longest losing streak of the season. Arizona had dropped five in a row and eight of nine, done in by the major leagues' worst defense and one of the NL's most futile offenses. Haren (7-5) is the one thing the Diamondbacks can count on. The right-hander... Read Full Story
If Major League Baseball wants to talk with Cincinnati Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo about the supplements he takes, he doesn't know about it. Arroyo told USA Today this week that he takes supplements which haven't been approved by MLB. Baseball said it would like to talk with Arroyo and remind him which supplements are approved. Arroyo said he hadn't heard from anybody Friday. "It's hard to get a hold of me, unless you're in this locker room," Arroyo said before the Reds played Washington. "I... Read Full Story
The Reds activated third baseman Edwin Encarnacion from the 60-day disabled list Friday to replace infielder Danny Richar, who went on the 15-day disabled list with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Wilkin Castillo, who had surgery Wednesday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, was moved from the 15-day DL to the 60-day to make room for Encarnacion on the 40-man roster. Encarnacion, who'd been on the disabled list since April 28 with a chip fracture in his left wrist, was not in... Read Full Story
Edwin Encarnacion has been placed on the 15-day disabled list after tests found that the Cincinnati Reds third baseman has a chipped bone in his left wrist. Encarnacion has been bothered by the wrist since spring training, when he also was slowed by a sore right shoulder on his throwing side. He struck out in the ninth inning of a 4-1 loss to Houston on Monday night, extending his slump to 1-for-28. Encarnacion appeared to aggravate the wrist in his last at-bat on Monday, prompting the Reds... Read Full Story

The Reds are beginning to show signs of life with three emerging young pitchers behind ace Aaron Harang. Johnny Cueto, Edinson Volquez, and Homer Bailey are all pitching well at their respective levels and will make a significant impact on the team in the years to come. Johnny Cueto turned heads in his first start, earning the nickname “Little Pedro” among Reds fans. Cueto’s fastball tops out at 97 mph with a devastating slurve and a deceptive changeup. He has the makings to pass up Harang... Read Full Story
Two NL Central foes sent players to the Disabled List today.
The Houston Astros sent Closer Jose Valverde to the 15-day DL because of a strained calf. The NL Saves leader the past two years has been slow out of the gate with just two Saves and a 5.63 ERA.

He has served as Closer in past years, and can be counted on as a short-term... Read Full Story
It's the middle of November, and the gray Midwestern drear seems to have finally settled in. I have that inner chill that comes with winter, a sort of iciness like my blood is close to freezing. I'm not good at cold. Right now, my hands feel like ice. I'm thinking gloves. I find a stretchy glove. I find some batting gloves . I find a thick pair of winter mittens with no fingers. But how am I to type? As you know, I hate winter. I hate the absence of light in the days. I hate the absence of... Read Full Story
