Aristides Aquino

Aristides Aquino was placed on the 10-day IL with a left calf strain on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Aquino has played in 31 games with the Reds this season, slashing .172/.200/.322, with three home runs, and seven RBIs. There likely is a better option on waivers right now, Aquino can be safely dropped.

Cincinnati Reds RF Aristides Aquino went 2-for-4 at the plate on Monday, hitting two home runs, and striking out once in the Reds' 7-4 loss to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Aquino has been brutal at the plate so far this season but stepped it up on Monday as he hit two dinger's in one game. The outfielder is batting a rather abysmal .122 and should be monitored for now but should remain far from any roster.

Cincinnati Reds CF Aristides Aquino went 2-for-4 at the plate on Sunday, hitting a 2-run RBI double, and striking out once in the Reds' 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Aquino was just what the Reds needed on Sunday as he drove in two runs with the bases loaded in the first inning which was all the scoring until the eighth inning for Cincinnati. The Reds outfielder has been up and down from the minors to the MLB as the team has dealt with a large number of injuries and COVID issues, but he should still not be rostered as he will likely be designated for assignment again once other starters return as he is batting a awful .089 at the plate when he has played this season.

The Reds designated Aristides Aquino for assignment on Saturday and purchased the contract of Connor Overton off the taxi squad.

Fantasy Impact

The 28-year-old outfielder has been atrocious to start the season, slashing .049/.093/.215. While he has massive power, the wicked inconsistencies and 23 strikeouts in only 41 at-bats make him un-rosterable in actual and fantasy baseball.

Reds outfielder Aristides Aquino went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts while stranding two runners on base against the Dodgers on Sunday afternoon. Cincinnati ultimately lost to Los Angeles by a score of 9-1.

Fantasy Impact

Aquino is off to a rough start this season, going 2-for-27 with one homer, two RBI, one walk, and 18 strikeouts. He's not on the fantasy radar.
