Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (foot) took batting practice at Angel Stadium on Tuesday and then left to continue working out at the team's spring training complex in Arizona. He was scheduled to start running on an anti-gravity treadmill, which will enable him to not put pressure on his left foot while resuming a running program. India is scheduled for another MRI exam on Thursday. If the 26-year-old is able to avoid another setback with his plantar fasciitis, he should be able to return to the Reds starting lineup for the final month of the regular season in September. When he's ready, he should return to regular duties at the keystone after hitting .251/.336/.409 with 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 68 runs scored in 394 at-bats in 2023 before his injury.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (foot) felt pain while running and is getting a second opinion on his injured left foot. As a result, he's been shut down from running for at least two weeks, according to manager David Bell. India will now have an early-to-mid-September return as his likely target. The 26-year-old was expected to return from the injured list earlier this week, but that obviously didn't happen, and now India won't return until next month. It's a tough break for fantasy managers expecting to get India back this week, as he's had a strong season with a .251/.336/.409 slash line and 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 68 runs scored in 394 at-bats. The Reds will likely continue to use rookie Matt McLain at the keystone until India is able to return.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (foot) will not return from the injured list on Tuesday, as the club has scheduled him for some more running and batting practice. According to MLB.com, the plan is for the team to activate the 26-year-old by Friday. Across 103 contests, India is slashing .251/.336/.409 with 14 homers, 68 runs, 52 RBI, and 12 stolen bases. He's been out since the end of July with left-foot plantar fasciitis, but it's a minor ailment that shouldn't slow him down once he's back.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (foot) has increased his baseball activities this week after some rest and is expected to be activated from the injured list when he's eligible to return on Tuesday. India was scratched from the lineup on July 29 with left heel pain and was placed on the IL with left-foot plantar fasciitis. The injury was considered minor, though, so India has a good chance to return and pick up where he left off for the Reds next week. The 26-year-old former National League Rookie of the Year should be rostered in all fantasy leagues in the midst of a bounce-back season for the surprising Reds in 2023. India will be returning to a .251/.336/.409 slash line with 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 68 runs scored in 394 at-bats.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (foot) has resumed baseball activities this week and is expected to return from the injured list early next week, according to manager David Bell. India is dealing with mild plantar fasciitis in his left heel, and he's lining up to miss the minimum time on the 10-day injured list. Rookie Matt McLain has shifted over to second base and should continue playing there for the Reds until India returns next week. India is the Reds' starting second baseman when healthy, and he's having a nice bounce-back year in 2023 by hitting .251 (99-for-394) with 14 home runs, 20 doubles, 52 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 68 runs scored in 103 games. There's no reason why he should be available on the waiver wire due to his injury.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (heel) took ground balls on the field on Wednesday as he increased his baseball activities following some rest after he was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday due to plantar fasciitis in his left heel. The good news is it is believed to be a minor issue, and the Reds are hoping India will miss the minimum amount of time and rejoin the club on Aug. 8, when he's eligible to come off the IL. The 26-year-old former National League Rookie of the Year in 2021 has bounced back in 2023 after a down season in 2021. In his 103 games for the Reds so far this season, he's slashing .251/.336/.409 with 14 home runs, 20 doubles, 52 RBI, 12 stolen bases and 68 runs scored in 453 trips to the plate and 103 games. India should be stashed in most fantasy leagues with his return likely coming next week.

The Cincinnati Reds have sent second baseman Jonathan India (foot) to the 10-day injured list due to left foot plantar fasciitis. Outfielder Stuart Fairchild was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding transaction. It seems the 26-year-old India's MRI from Saturday didn't reveal the most encouraging results, so he'll retreat to the IL to mend his balky foot. It comes at a key juncture for the Reds, who may have been dangling India around in trade talks recently with rumors swirling around his name in that respect since the spring. Matt McLain now figures to operate as Cincy's primary second baseman, pivoting Elly De La Cruz to shortstop while other Reds shuffle around the diamond for however much time India needs to miss. India brings a .251/.336/.409 triple-slash line with 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 12 stolen bases, and 68 runs scored in 394 at-bats to the shelf.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (heel) went through an MRI after being out of Saturday's lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a lingering heel issue. The 26-year-old's left heel soreness has exacerbated recently, so the Reds want to get India's condition sorted out. India has enjoyed a wonderful rebound campaign overall, but has struggled a bit lately while going 3-for-18 in his last five games. The former first-round pick should be considered day-to-day, and it wouldn't be surprising to see India out of Sunday's lineup for the series finale in LA. Stay tuned.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (heel) was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Dodgers due to left heel pain. He has started at second base in eight of the last 10 games. It's unclear when India sustained the heel injury; he is considered day-to-day. The 26-year-old is slashing .251/.336/.409 with 14 home runs, 52 RBI, 68 runs, and 12 stolen bases over 453 plate appearances in 2023. India's next chance to return to the lineup will be Sunday for the series finale against the Dodgers. Matt McLain will handle second duties for the Reds while India is sidelined.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India could be on the trade block as the trade deadline quickly approaches. The 26-year-old appears to be the odd man out as the Reds continue to call up their young infield prospects. That being said, the Reds appear to be ready to move India in order to open up a full-time role for one of their younger players. This season, India is hitting .251/.338/.411 with 14 home runs and 51 RBI in 98 games. He should draw plenty of interest from around the league.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is getting a rare night off on Wednesday night against the San Francisco Giants and right-hander Ross Stripling. India's 424 plate appearances on the season are the seventh-most in all of baseball while he's having a slightly below-average season at the dish. The 26-year-old is hitting .250 with a .748 OPS and 98 wRC+ across 93 appearances this season but fantasy managers should be satisfied with his 14 home runs and 12 stolen bases from the second-base position. However, India has struggled in June and July, while Matt McLain will take over at second base Wednesday night in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India did hit two home runs on the Fourth of July last week, but he's heading into this week's All-Star break with a .200 average (7-for-35) with three long balls, eight RBI, five runs scored and nine strikeouts in nine games so far in the month of July. Despite the recent cold streak, the 26-year-old former National League Rookie of the Year had a pretty solid first half of the season for the first-place Reds. In 91 games played (404 plate appearances), he hit .250 (87-for-348) with 13 home runs, 17 doubles, 49 RBI, a career-high-tying 12 stolen bases and 65 runs scored. With some intriguing young players with high ceilings now surrounding him in the lineup, India has become interesting in fantasy again after a disappointing sophomore year in 2022.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India will start on the bench on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves. India deserves a day of rest after starting the last 49 games for the Reds. He's also cooled off offensively, going 6-for-39 (.154) with three home runs, six RBI and 11 strikeouts in the last 10 games. Overall, though, the 26-year-old second baseman is having a fine season by hitting .261 (77-for-295) with 10 home runs, 17 doubles, 40 RBI, a career-high-tying 12 stolen bases and 58 runs scored in 342 trips to the plate and a league-high 77 games played. Matt McLain will start at second base on Sunday and hit second against Braves right-hander Charlie Morton. India should be back in the starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the Baltimore Orioles.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India was unable to finish out Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. The right-handed slugger tied the game with a home run in the eighth inning. He later went down hard after being taken out on a double play in the ninth. India stayed in the game, but left for a pinch-runner in the 10th inning. He said after the game that he was fine, but fantasy managers should double check tomorrow to see if anything changes.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India went 2-for-4 and smacked his eighth home run of the season as the Reds beat the Kansas City Royals Wednesday. India hit an RBI double off Daniel Lynch in the fourth inning to give the Royals a 2-1 lead. He then cracked the third of three Cincinnati dingers in the fifth frame to increase the Reds' lead to 7-1. The 26-year-old now has eight home runs and 36 RBI while slashing .278/.361/.433 in 2023.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India went 2-for-5 with two singles, two RBI, and two strikeouts in Monday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Royals. The 26-year-old is quietly putting together a solid fantasy season, slashing .277/.360/.422with seven home runs, 34 RBI, and 12 stolen bases. The Reds have played surprisingly well this season, boosting India's fantasy value. He should continue to serve as a consistent option in a relatively shallow position.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a stolen base in the team's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Perhaps the 26-year-old is feeling the rumblings surrounding both top prospect Elly De La Cruz's seemingly imminent call-up coinciding with trade murmurs involving India's name. India is immersed in a prolific fantasy season, though, hitting .278 with 47 runs scored, six taters, 26 RBI and nine swipes. The former NL Rookie of the Year trails only Marcus Semien and Mookie Betts in total ranking at second base in 5x5 category mixed leagues. India's spent more time in the No. 3 spot of the Reds lineup lately, which should only amplify his RBI opportunity going forward.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is back in the leadoff spot for a Friday matchup against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Justin Steele. India has been in the three-hole a few times this week against right-handed pitching, but the Reds apparently prefer him hitting leadoff against lefties. First baseman Spencer Steer will hit third for Cincy on Friday. India has been solid for his fantasy managers this year, but he's hitting .231 (12-for-52) with two doubles and no home runs in the last 14 days. He also hasn't been quite as good against southpaws with a .250 average (12-for-48) with only three doubles and one homer in 57 trips to the plate against them. But out of the leadoff spot in 2023, he's hitting a strong .290 (51-for-176) with 14 doubles and three homers.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is hitting out of the No. 3 spot in the batting order on Thursday against right-hander Miles Mikolas and the St. Louis Cardinals. India has mostly hit leadoff for the Reds in 2023, but outfielder TJ Friedl will be in the top spot in the matinee game on Thursday. The former Rookie of the Year could have more opportunities to drive in runs for the Reds in the three-hole. The 26-year-old hasn't shown much power (three home runs), but he's hitting a strong .290 (53-for-183) with 14 doubles, 18 RBI, eight stolen bases and 40 runs scored in 49 games played. India has been great in May with a .293 average (24-for-82) with six doubles, two homers and seven RBI in 21 games.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (knee) is in the lineup as the designated hitter on Sunday for the series finale with the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old came out of Saturday's game late after fouling a ball off his knee, but that was a precautionary measure at this point. The workhorse has played in all 45 games for the Reds this season and his knee will not prevent him from breaking the streak. It will be just his fourth game serving as the DH this year. India is hitting .289 with eight stolen bases, 35 runs scored, three long balls, and 18 RBI as Cincinnati's everyday leadoff man.
