Latest news
Bleday is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Dodgers.
It's a rare day off for Bleday, who is slashing only .182/.287/.291 over 43 games since Aug. 1. TJ Friedl will cover left field for the Reds in Bleday's stead.

Bleday went 3-for-4 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Padres.
The 28-year-old outfielder put together his best performance since banging out four hits in Arizona on Aug. 22, erasing a rough stretch in which he'd hit just .129 (4-for-31) with zero extra-base hits during the nine games between those offensive eruptions. Bleday's feast-or-famine nature limits his fantasy utility and underscores his .222/.333/.437 slash line on the year, but he's set a new career high in 2026 with 22 homers, and he's five RBI shy of the career-best 60 he recorded in 2024 with the A's.

Bleday went 4-for-6, hitting for the cycle with three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
Bleday notched the fourth cycle seen in the majors in 2026. He supplied an RBI double in the first inning and plated another run with a triple in the third. He completed the feat by singling in the fourth and hitting a leadoff homer in the sixth. This was just the third multi-hit effort in August for Bleday, who is batting a mere .205 (15-for-73) over 21 contests this month. He doubled his count of extra-base hits for the month with Saturday's performance. Overall, Bleday is batting .224 with a .784 OPS, a career-high 21 homers, two triples, 14 doubles, 51 RBI, 49 runs scored and six stolen bases over 102 contests. He continues to see the bulk of the playing time in left field, and that's likely to remain true while Michael Toglia recovers from a dislocated right shoulder.

Bleday went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.
Bleday was dropped to seventh in the order, the lowest spot he's hit out of as a starter since May 26. That the Reds were facing a left-hander may have played a role in manager Terry Francona's decision to slot the lefty-swining Bleday down in the order, but it may also have something to do with the outfielder's struggles in the second half. After posting an .842 OPS with 43 RBI over 67 games prior to the All-Star break, Bleday has slumped to a .167/.286/.296 slash line with four RBI over 32 contests since.
RotoWire via ESPN · Aug 20
Bleday is not in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.
It's southpaw Quinn Mathews on the bump for the Cardinals, so the left-handed-hitting Bleday will exit the lineup while Michael Toglia handles left field. Bleday should be back in the lineup for Monday's nightcap.
