3 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (rib) left Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals prematurely after colliding with teammate Jose Barrero in the sixth inning. He was replaced by Shogo Akiyama. According to Bobby Nightengale of the Enquirer, he experienced bruised ribs. There is no word on the severity or if he'll have to take a trip to the injured list. It's bad news for fantasy managers, as Naquin's been a pleasant surprise, slashing .272/.335/.480 with 19 HRs, 70 RBI, 52 runs, and five stolen bases across 126 games. If he does miss time, expect the trio of Aristides Aquino, Akiyama, and Delino DeShields to get more playing time.--Spencer Seguin - RotoBaller
