6/10/25 Are the Cincinnati Reds back?. Just when you think the season is on thin ice, Christian Encarnacion-Strand returns to the lineup and provides enough juice to get a sweep over the Diamondbacks and lift this Reds team to .500. It felt good to have power back in the lineup and if he can stay healthy, along with getting another power bat in Hays back this week, this lineup is ready to produce some runs via the long ball. CES went 7-13 in his return, including three homeruns, six RBIs, one BB, and showed versatility and the ability to play third base. Just like Austin Hays, this team feels different when CES is healthy.
