The Cincinnati Reds announced Friday that third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes has been placed on the 10‑day injured list due to a left groin strain. The move is retroactive to Thursday, opening a roster spot for the club.
Hayes’ recent performance
Hayes, 29, has struggled this season, posting a career‑low .153 batting average with five home runs and eight RBIs in 78 games. His .213 on‑base percentage, .250 slugging percentage and .463 OPS are also the lowest of his career. He previously spent time on the injured list from May 21 to July 9 after a bulging disc in his back.
Recall of Edwin Arroyo
To fill the vacancy, Cincinnati recalled infielder Edwin Arroyo from Triple‑A Louisville. Arroyo, 23, has batted .244 with five RBIs in 44 major‑league games since his debut on June 1. He was hitting .309 with 15 home runs and 43 RBIs in 72 games for Louisville before the call‑up.
Recent game notes
Hayes last appeared on the field Wednesday, going 1‑for‑4 in a 10‑9 win over the San Francisco Giants. He was replaced by pinch‑hitter Tyler Stephenson in the ninth inning.
Career background
A Gold Glove winner in 2023 and 2025, Hayes has a career .245 average with 47 home runs and 233 RBIs over 706 games, spanning his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates (2020‑2025) and the Reds (2025‑present). He was selected by Pittsburgh in the first round (32nd overall) of the 2015 MLB Draft.
