Cincinnati Reds second baseman Matt McLain will bat second in the lineup this season, per manager Terry Francona. The 26-year-old is scorching hot this spring, hitting .553 (21-for-38) with six home runs, a pair of steals, and a 5:4 BB:K. The former first-rounder showed a strong blend of contact, power, and speed potential in his debut back in 2023, but missed all of 2024 with a shoulder injury and was not nearly as productive in his 2025 return to the diamond (77 wRC+). Perhaps 2026 will look more like 2023, and if so, the right-handed hitter could end up being a value in fantasy drafts. He's the ninth-ranked second baseman at RotoBaller and is ranked No. 150 overall, while his ADP is closer to pick No. 200 over the last couple of weeks. McLain will hit in front of some big bats, including Elly De La Cruz, Eugenio Suarez, and Sal Stewart, adding to his fantasy appeal.--Jarod Rupp
