Reds OF prospect Rodríguez homers again

Héctor Rodríguez

CIN Left Fielder #43

Player Stats

Reds OF prospect Héctor Rodríguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Rodríguez now has 24 home runs and 61 RBI to go along with a .280 batting average and .902 OPS. The Reds are one of the few teams that should clearly be sellers at the deadline, so there is a chance they free up some outfield at-bats for Rodríguez to get called up in just a couple of weeks. He’s just behind guys like Joshua Baez and Walker Jenkins in terms of fantasy stashes.

Héctor Rodríguez

CIN Left Fielder #43

Reds OF prospect Héctor Rodríguez went 2-for-2 with two walks, two home runs, and three RBI for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old is now hitting .290/.369/.549 with 21 home runs, 56 RBI, and six steals in 84 games at Triple-A. He also has a solid 75/40 K/BB ratio. He’s played both corner outfield spots regularly this season, but it seems unlikely that he gets a chance in Cincinnati this year unless the team decides to move on from slumping JJ Bleday.
Héctor Rodríguez

CIN Left Fielder #43

Reds optioned OF Héctor Rodríguez, SS Edwin Arroyo, INF Leo Balcazar and RHPs Julian Aguiar and Jose Franco to Triple-A Louisville.

Rodríguez is the notable name here for fantasy managers, especially in dynasty formats after slashing .283/.336/.450 with 19 homers and 15 steals across 135 games between two levels to finish last year at Triple-A. The 21-year-old will require some additional seasoning on the doorstep of the majors but he’s a power/speed combo talent worth watching throughout the season. Arroyo is one of Cincinnati’s top prospects entering the year after batting .284/.345/.371 with three homers and 12 steals in 120 games last season for Double-A Chattanooga.
Héctor Rodríguez

CIN Right Fielder #86

Hector Rodríguez finished 4-for-5 with two RBI for Escogido of the Dominican Winter League on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old Rodríguez, who was added to the Reds’ 40-man roster last month, is hitting .275/.370/.377 with just 10 strikeouts in 81 plate appearances in the Dominican Republic. He’s probably not going to be much of a threat to break camp with the Reds next spring, but he could definitely make his major league debut at some point during the season.
Edwin Arroyo

CIN Shortstop #71

Reds selected the contracts of SS Edwin Arroyo, OF Héctor Rodríguez and SS Leo Balcazar from Triple-A Louisville.

The trio will be protected from selection in next month’s Rule 5 Draft. Arroyo is the most prominent inclusion here as one of the better prospect in Cincinnati’s system. The 22-year-old hit .284/.345/.371 with three homers and 12 steals in 120 games last season for Double-A Chattanooga. Rodríguez is one of the more electric talents in the organization, and his long-term fantasy stock surged after he slashed .283/.336/.450 with 19 homers and 15 steals across 135 games between two levels, finishing the year at Triple-A. Balcazar also earns a spot on the 40-man roster after a strong showing recently in the Arizona Fall League.
Héctor Rodríguez

CIN Left Fielder #43

Reds acquired INF/OF Hector Rodriguez from the Mets in a four-player trade.

Rodriguez has played in the infield and outfield in short-season FCL and Low-A St. Lucie. He’s hit well with a .342 average and .910 OPS, but this is very much a lottery ticket type of talent that is years away from making a contribution.

Cooper Pratt went 3-for-4 with two runs scored and a solo home run against the Mets on Monday.

Pratt’s home run was the first of the season and first of his MLB career. He hit a solo shot off Freddy Peralta in the second inning. Pratt came into the game hitting .244 with a .305 slugging in 82 at-bats. Until he works out the kinks at the plate, Pratt’s fantasy utility will come from his speed as he already has six stolen bases.

Freddy Peralta allowed seven runs and took the loss against the Brewers on Monday.

Peralta gave up eight hits, walked two and struck out six. He fell to 5-9 with the loss. Peralta’s start never got off the ground as he allowed five runs in the first three innings. His return to Milwaukee couldn’t have gone much worse as he allowed seven runs in the disastrous start. He has a 5.01 ERA on the year. Peralta is lined up to face the Dodgers at home this weekend.

Miguel Vargas went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in the White Sox’s 10-5 victory over the Rangers on Monday.

It was a close game until the White Sox’s five-run ninth, when Vargas doubled for his second RBI. He has five three-hit games this year, matching his total from his 309 career games entering 2026. He is currently tied for eighth place in MLB with 23 doubles and fourth with 68 runs scored.

Erick Fedde threw four innings and allowed two runs Monday in his start against the Rangers.

If the White Sox had used an opener tonight, as they had in six of Fedde’s previous seven outings, this probably would have been a fourth straight win for the right-hander. As is, the victory went to Chris Murphy for getting four outs in the fifth and sixth. Fedde struck out six and walked none. He’s due to make his next appearance Sunday against the Astros.

Jacob deGrom gave up five runs in 4 2/3 innings to take a loss to the White Sox on Monday.

Making his first start in 17 days after dealing with a glute issue, deGrom was able to get through four innings allowing just one run, but he gave up four hits and a walk during a four-run fifth that saw him get pulled with two outs. The loss dropped him to 7-6 with a 3.76 ERA. He’ll probably be sharper next time out against the Mariners.

Brandon Nimmo went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Monday in a loss to the White Sox.

Nimmo’s head seemed to be elsewhere tonight, as he nearly threw the second out of the eighth inning into the stands thinking it was the end of the inning. He usually starts against lefties, but maybe the Rangers will give him Tuesday off against Noah Schultz.

Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run (none earned) in four innings and got a no-decision in the Brewers’ 8-3 victory over the Mets on Monday.

Misiorowski gave up four hits, walked one and struck out six. In his first start since July 7 due to fatigue, the 24-year-old flame-throwing right-hander threw 65 pitches in four innings. Fantasy managers can’t complain too much about the abbreviated outing, though, as Misiorowski is lined up to face the Rockies this weekend.

Willy Adames went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Royals on Monday.

Adames’ home run was his 18th of the season. He hit a two-run, game-tying home run off Alex Lange with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. It was a clutch home run by Adames, though the Giants would lose in the bottom of the ninth inning. He’s hitting .228 with a .713 OPS and 44 RBI.

Caleb Kilian allowed one run and took the loss against the Royals on Monday.

Kilian entered in a tie game in the bottom of the ninth inning. He allowed a ground ball single to start the inning. The next two Royals hitters bunted and the game was over. It wasn’t like Kilian got hit very hard in this outing, but he also hasn’t recorded a save since July 4. Fantasy managers looking for saves should look elsewhere.
