Johnson gets the call to replace Dane Myers after Myers was placed on the injured list with a shoulder bruise. The 27-year-old will likely just be a bench option in this stint with the Reds.

Ivan Johnson

CIN Outfield #15

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ivan Johnson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

The home run was a massive shot off of Pirates’ top prospect Bubba Chandler and was also Johnson’s third home run of the season. The Reds have moved the former second baseman to the outfield full-time this season, and he has started the year on fire, going 14-for-36 (.389) with three home runs, three steals, and 11 RBI in 11 games. The 26-year-old had just 13 home runs and 15 steals in 121 minor league games last year, so this may be a mirage, but it’s something to keep an eye on with the Reds’ offense struggling.

Pete Crow-Armstrong will not compete in next month’s All-Star Home Run Derby.

Crow-Armstrong has vowed to participate at some point in his career, but it won’t be during this year’s Midsummer Classic. The 24-year-old fantasy force has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball since the start of June, crushing 10 homers across 25 contests during that span.

Corey Seager was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Guardians with back discomfort.

Seager was lifted for rookie Cameron Cauley prior to his first at-bat of the contest. The 32-year-old fantasy stalwart has been snake-bitten by injuries this season, as he’s battled back issues in addition to missing time with a concussion earlier this month. There should be an update on his status following the contest.

Michael Soroka (glute) completed a bullpen session on Tuesday.

Soroka has resumed throwing after hitting the injured list with a left glute strain back on June 20. The 28-year-old is probably going to wind up being out through next month’s All-Star break, but it qualifies as an encouraging development that he’s making some progress already.

Willy Adames (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

There’s no indication that the Giants are on the precipice of making a roster move with Adames sitting for the second straight contest with a lingering back issue. The 30-year-old shortstop has been dealing with back spasms since last weekend. It’ll be Casey Schmitt continuing to fill in during his ongoing absence.
