News and Notes

Jul 2
Bruce was given the day off from the starting lineup on Thursday, but later came into the game as part of a double-switch and threw out a runner at home plate. Recommendation: Despite Bruce's offensive slump, it hasn't affected his defense. The fact that the Reds were facing lefty Doug Davis made it a good time to give him a day off from the starting lineup. |
