Reds' Austin Hays: Serves as DH again
Hays went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 6-0 loss to Houston.
Hays, who was given a rest day Saturday, returned to the lineup as the designated hitter. It was his second start since being activated off the injured list Friday, with both starts coming at DH. He's bounced between left field and DH, but with two leg injuries already this season, manager Terry Francona may manage him carefully and not expose him too much in the field. Hays has gotten off to a nice start, batting .328 with five home runs and 13 RBI through 16 games.

Reds' Austin Hays: Returns to action
Hays served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Astros.
Hays missed the minimum 10 days on the injured list with a hamstring injury and did not require a rehab assignment. As was the case prior to his injury, Hays will bounce between DH and left field.

Reds' Austin Hays: Back from injured list
The Reds activated Hays (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Hays spent the minimum 10 days on the injured list and is ready to return to the lineup for Cincinnati. Prior to his injury, Hays was slashing an impressive .365/.431/.712 with five home runs, 13 RBI, 15 runs scored, one steal and a 6:13 BB:K across 58 plate appearances.

Reds' Austin Hays: Might return Friday
Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that Hays (hamstring) is progressing well and could be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Hays has been shelved for the past week with a left hamstring strain, but he seems to be trending toward skipping a rehab assignment and returning later this week. The 29-year-old has been limited to only 13 games this season due to injury but has slashed .365/.431/.712 with five homers in those contests.

Reds' Austin Hays: Out with hamstring strain
The Reds placed Hays on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 29, due to a left hamstring strain.
The 29-year-old hasn't seen the field since Monday due to the hamstring issue, and he'll be sidelined for at least another week after being diagnosed with a strain. Hays has delivered a .365/.431/.712 slash line with five homers through the first month of the season, but this is already his second stint on the injured list after missing the start of the campaign due to a calf strain.

Reds' Austin Hays: Remains out of lineup
Hays (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
Hays will be on the bench for a fourth straight game due to a sore left hamstring, which he tweaked while running the bases Monday. He underwent an MRI on Tuesday that apparently revealed nothing too concerning, and Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News relayed that Hays was testing his hamstring during an on-field workout prior to Thursday's contest. The Reds will presumably look to stay away from using Hays on Thursday, but the 29-year-old could return to the lineup during this weekend's series with the Nationals.

Reds' Austin Hays: Expected to avoid IL
Manager Terry Francona said Wednesday that an MRI on Hays' hamstring revealed some minor results, but the Reds are "exploring" not having the outfielder go on the injured list with the hope he's able to play after a few days of rest, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Hays is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals, and he looks safe to rule out for Game 2 as well. The Reds are still seemingly viewing Hays as day-to-day while he manages the hamstring issue and will wait and see how he responds to getting the day off. Cincinnati called up Tyler Callihan from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday and will have him start in left field in Hays' place in Game 1 of the twin bill.

Reds' Austin Hays: Idle for Game 1 of twin bill
Hays (hamstring) is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
The Reds called up utility player Tyler Callihan from Triple-A Louisville prior to the twin bill, and he'll enter the Game 1 lineup in place of Hays, who is dealing with what manager Terry Francona described Tuesday as a "tender" hamstring. Hays was scheduled to undergo further testing on his hamstring, but the Reds haven't revealed those findings nor indicated whether the 29-year-old is at risk of landing on the injured list. After opening the season on the shelf while recovering from a spring calf injury, Hays has been highly productive since making his Reds debut April 15, slashing .365/.431/.712 with five home runs, 13 RBI, 15 runs and one steal in 13 games.

Manager Terry Francona said Tuesday that Hays has a "tender" hamstring and will undergo further testing, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Hays went 0-for-3 at the plate with a walk and run scored in Monday's win over the Cardinals and played the entire contest. It's unclear when he may have suffered the injury, but Hays is out of the lineup Tuesday and should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Reds' Austin Hays: Goes yard twice in Colorado
Hays went 2-for-4 with two solo homers and a walk in Saturday's 6-4 win against the Rockies.
The veteran outfielder notched his seventh career multi-homer game and his first since June 3, 2024 when he was donning an Orioles uniform. Hays broke a 2-2 tie in the fourth with a 406-foot solo shot off Anthony Senzatela, and then he gave the Reds the lead again in the sixth inning with another solo homer off Senzatela, blasting it 429 feet to center. Hays has been a revelation since being activated from the injured list April 15, as he's now slashing .386/.449/.773 with five homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored across 49 plate appearances.

Hays went 4-for-6 with a double, four runs scored and one RBI in Sunday's 24-2 victory over the Orioles.
With this performance, Hays notched his second career game with four runs scored, first achieved April 11, 2023.
