McLain is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Toronto.
McLain had started each of the last nine games, but he will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. Juan Brito will handle second base for the Reds, and he'll be situated in the No. 7 slot in the batting order.

McLain went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.
This was the second game back from a shoulder injury for McLain. The stolen base was his 18th in 125 games, tying the career high he set last season over 147 contests.

McLain started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.
McLain was back in the lineup after missing three games due to a left shoulder injury. The Reds downplayed the severity of the issue and welcomed back their primary second baseman Tuesday. McLain, who will attempt to finish a trying season on a positive note, is batting just .129 (4-for-31) this month and .186 for the season.

McLain (shoulder) will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's game versus the Dodgers.
McLain missed the past three contests with a sore left shoulder, which is the same one he had surgically repaired in 2024. He could have to play through some nagging soreness down the stretch, but McLain feels well enough to give it a go Tuesday.

McLain (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.
McLain landed hard on his left shoulder on a diving attempt during Friday's game versus the Brewers, and he will now miss a third straight start. It's the same shoulder he had surgery on in the spring of 2024, and McLain noted over the weekend that he'll feel soreness in the shoulder occasionally on dives, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. He's considered day-to-day. Juan Brito will handle second base for the Reds on Monday.
RotoWire via ESPN · Sep 14
McLain (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee.
The 27-year-old was scratched from Saturday's starting nine for unspecified reasons and finds himself on the bench again Sunday. Juan Brito is picking up another start at second base in place of McLain.
