It has been, to be frank, a bit of a trying time for the Cincinnati Reds in this, the first full week of the 2022 Major League Baseball season.
Jonathan India, reigning National League Rookie of the Year, exited last night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a right hamstring issue. Mike Minor, the highest-priced addition during a winter of roster culling, had a setback to his setback with his setback shoulder while on a rehab start, and looks to be out for much longer than originally planned. Tommy Pham and Nick Senzel have both missed multiple games after slamming into one another in the outfield on a ball that fell in and scored multiple runs, a play that happened while prized youngster Nick Lodolo was getting shelled often on the mound in his major league debut.
