In a 3-2 Dodgers win over the Reds, Reds star Elly De La Cruz uncorked a 105.3 mph relay throw from shallow center to home to tag Teoscar Hernández as he attempted to score on an inside-the-park bid, the second-fastest outfield assist on record since 2015; earlier, De La Cruz also hit a 444-foot two-run homer off Tarik Skubal to tie the game at 2-2.
Elly De La Cruz fired a 102-mph relay to home to tag Teoscar Hernández out at the plate on what looked like an inside-the-park homer, a play initially logged at 105.3 mph and later confirmed at 102 mph.

Elly De La Cruz line-delivered a 105.3 mph relay throw from the outfield to catcher Jose Trevino, tagging Teoscar Hernández at home to prevent an inside-the-park homer in Reds–Dodgers. The clocked throw is among the fastest OF assists tracked by Statcast since 2015, placing De La Cruz in elite company. Offensively, he’s surged this September to a .500/.556/.917 line with 3 homers and 7 RBI, offering a bright spot for a Reds team still outside the NL playoff picture.
The Red Sox reportedly offered a prospect-heavy package for Elly De La Cruz, but the Reds rejected it, preferring MLB-ready players and an even bigger overpay. De La Cruz, a 24-year-old two-time All-Star, is arbitration-eligible this winter and under team control through 2029, making a blockbuster deal unlikely but still plausible in a market hungry for star shortstops.
In a seller-friendly move, the Reds have reportedly told teams Hunter Greene is no longer available, signaling a possible deadline trade despite ongoing interest from multiple clubs. Greene’s high strikeout upside and affordable contract make him an attractive, controllable starter, though health and workload concerns linger.

Brewers expect Brandon Woodruff to rejoin the rotation during the Reds series after shoulder inflammation; Daniel Palencia is on the 15-day IL with a minor flexor strain.

The Reds placed Elly De La Cruz on the 10-day IL with a right hamstring strain and recalled top infield prospect Edwin Arroyo from Triple-A Louisville for his MLB debut, while designating Yunior Marte for assignment and promoting Brandon Leibrandt. De La Cruz has been having a breakout season, and Arroyo—22, a switch-hitter hitting .323/.383/.562 in Triple-A with 11 homers—could provide an immediate spark in Cincinnati as De La Cruz rehabs.
Elly De La Cruz exited Cincinnati's win over Atlanta with right hamstring tightness and will undergo an MRI to determine the injury's extent; if no serious damage is found but soreness persists, the Reds could use a short bench during the Royals series, with potential infield depth calls if he’s sidelined.
Sal Stewart delivered a standout 2-for-4 with 6 RBIs and two homers, marking a breakout for the Reds and fueling fantasy hype, while Elly De La Cruz cruises at a 40/50 pace. The post runs through a wide weekend wrap: Ohtani and Cease shined on the mound, Shota Imanaga looked like a top starter, and closers were in flux (Enyel De Los Santos vs. Bryan King; Uribe in SF), with other standout performances, injuries (Harrison Bader IL) and suspensions (Soler) sprinkled in along with sleeper calls and streamer chatter from Streamonator. The tone remains humorous and insightful, touching on a slew of players and keeper-league angles for fantasy managers returning from the weekend.
Elly De La Cruz reportedly declined a 2025 offer from the Reds that would have topped the franchise-record $225 million deal given to Joey Votto, choosing to bet on himself. The 22-year-old star posted strong numbers in his first full season—25 homers, 67 steals, and a .259/.339/.471 line—and remains under team control with arbitration eligibility next year; the Reds indicated they’ll likely revisit extension talks this spring, with Boras advising the client.
