Jonathan India Sitting Out On Monday
4 weeks agoCincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (elbow) is out of the starting lineup on Monday against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. With India riding pine to start, Santiago Espinal will take over second-base duties and will hit sixth against Braves right-hander Charlie Morton. India was forced to leave Sunday's game early in the series finale against the New York Mets with discomfort in his left elbow and will now miss the series opener in Atlanta. Until we know more, the 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day, but it doesn't appear to be an injury that would keep him out long-term. Espinal has never faced Morton in his career. He's been seeing more playing time of late due to injuries around Cincy's infield, and although Espinal doesn't have a ton of power or speed, he's gone 7-for-22 (.318) with a double and five RBI in seven games in September.
