When Adam Duvall was traded at the deadline, and with Jesse Winker and Scott Schebler went on the DL with shoulder injuries, many fans thought the move would be an opportunity for Phillip Ervin to show the Reds if he can be a piece of the puzzle in the coming years. But Ervin has barely played, and with Schebler set to return soon, it doesn’t look like he will get any significant playing time in the near future.
So what is going on here?
Ervin, of course, is a former first round draft pick who turned 26 in July.
