Matt McLain to focus on second base in camp

Reds manager Terry Francona said Sunday that Matt McLain will focus on second base to begin spring training.

McLain also could take grounders at shortstop, but he is expected to focus on second base. He had a strong 2023 season, but battled injuries for most of last year. It remains a crowded infield in Cincinnati.
