Reds manager David Bell said that Jonathan India is on track to make his spring training debut on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
India is continuing to work his way back from dealing with plantar fasciitis.
Reds manager David Bell said Jonathan India remains on track to be healthy by Opening Day.

"Our plan was to time it up so (India's) ready," Bell said. "If he doesn’t have any setbacks, he’ll be ready for Opening Day. Part of the reason we’re being conservative (with him playing in spring games) is so we don’t have any setbacks." This will remain a situation to monitor to ensure India does not suffer any setbacks.
Jonathan India remains "on track" to be fully healthy by Opening Day as he continues to recover from plantar fasciitis in his foot last year and offseason.
Fantasy Impact
India isn't expected to get into Spring Training games until March 7 or 8. He has been on a modified running program so far in camp. He can be considered as week-to-week for now.
The Cincinnati Reds have agreed to a two-year contract extension with second baseman Jonathan India.
Fantasy Impact
India and the Reds have avoided an arbitration hearing with the two-year pact. The 27-year-old hit .244 with 17 home runs, 14 stolen bases, and a .745 OPS across 119 games in 2023, production that hovered around the league average, as per his 99 wRC+.
Reds manager David Bell said that Jonathan India will have to play other positions to stay on the field this season.
Fantasy Impact
“(India's) 100% in on what we have here as a team,” Bell said. "... I am going to do whatever I have to do to be on the field and help our team win. Whatever that takes.’ He just wants to be on the field and in the lineup as much as possible. Obviously, he’s a second baseman. Depending on how things shape out, to be able to get him on the field as much as he wants to be and as much as we want him to be, there may be other positions he’s going to need to play.” The Reds have a crowded infield and India has been in a number of trade rumors, which remains a situation to monitor.
