Dietrich (knee) isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dietrich hasn't drawn any starts since July 17 but has picked up seven at-bats while being used in seven games off the bench over the past week and a half. That usage suggests the Reds don't view his knee issue as a major concern, but he'll nonetheless retain the day-to-day designation until he re-enters the starting nine.

Dietrich (knee) is out of the lineup Saturday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Dietrich is on the bench once again as he deals with a knee injury that has led to inconsistent playing time since it occurred July 17. It wouldn't be surprising to see him come off the bench Saturday once again as he has in seven of the eight games since the injury.

Dietrich (knee) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Dietrich has been dealing with a knee issue for over a week and hasn't made a start since July 17. The 30-year-old has appeared off the bench in six of seven games since his last start, so the injury doesn't appear to be a major concern.

Dietrich (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Dietrich will be withheld from the starting nine for a seventh straight game, but the fact that he's been used off the bench in each of the prior six games implies that his knee issue isn't much of a concern. The 30-year-old is simply a reserve player at this juncture and isn't likely to make more than two or three starts per week when the Reds are at full strength in the infield and outfield.

Dietrich (knee) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Dietrich still hasn't drawn a start since being drilled by a pitch in the knee Wednesday, though he has made pinch-hit appearances each of the last two nights, so his lack of playing time may not be related to his health. He's struck out in four of his last five at-bats.

Dietrich (knee) remains out of the lineup Monday against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Dietrich hasn't started a game since getting hit by a pitch in the knee Wednesday, but he's appeared off the bench in all four games since then. It's not clear how much of the absence is injury-related and to what extent it's related to the fact that he hasn't had a multi-hit game since June 1, hitting .138 in 36 games since that date. Jose Peraza starts at second base Monday, with Phillip Ervin in left field.

Dietrich (knee) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
He appeared off the bench in Saturday's game, and was hit by a pitch for the fifth time in the last six games and 22nd time of the season. It sounds like Dietrich remains day-to-day, and is not quite ready to play a full nine innings.

Dietrich (knee) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Dietrich hasn't started a game since getting hit in the knee by a pitch Wednesday. He doesn't have a full-time starting role anymore with Scooter Gennett back from a groin injury, however, so it's not entirely clear whether or not his absence is injury-related.

Dietrich (knee) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Dietrich was removed from Wednesday's game after being hit by a pitch on the knee, though the fact he was utilized as a pinch hitter in Thursday's contest indicates it isn't a serious concern. The 30-year-old figures to be available off the bench again Friday.

Dietrich was removed from Wednesday's game against the Cubs after getting hit by a pitch on the knee, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dietrich was originally able to stay in the game after getting checked out by trainers, though he was replaced by a pinch runner (Phillip Ervin) after the next out. Per Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer, the outfielder believes his injury is nothing more than a day-to-day issue. Look for his status for Thursday's series opener against the Cardinals to clear up after he's further evaluated.
