CINCINNATI -- Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett's chances of winning the National League batting title have faded the past several games as he's struggled at the plate. On Saturday, Gennett was not in the lineup vs. the Pirates because of a sore right biceps.
"I think it's just from an awkward swing," Gennett said. "It doesn't really hinder me from throwing or hitting too much. But it's something that at this point in the year, and where we're at -- all things considered -- it'd be stupid to make it worse."
Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman wasn't sure if Gennett would play in Sunday's season finale.
