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.

X-rays returned negative on Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India's knee after he left early during Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Yankees. India exited Saturday's game after fouling a ball off his knee. He was able to finish his at-bat but was later replaced by Kevin Newman. The 26-year-old went 1-for-4 with a double, walk, and a run scored before leaving. India appears to have avoided a severe injury and is considered day-to-day. The 2021 NL Rookie of the Year will most likely get Sunday off as a precaution. Newman would see an uptick in at-bats if India were to miss additional games.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. This looks to be a routine day off for the 26-year-old, who is off to a rock-solid start this season. India is slashing .283/.392/.394 with one home run, 11 RBI, and five stolen bases across 99 at-bats on the year. Kevin Newman is batting leadoff and starting at second base in India's place on Sunday vs. Ken Waldichuk.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India is off to a strong start this season after a disappointing campaign in 2022. He is slashing .291/.389/.418 with a home run, eight RBI, 18 runs, and four stolen bases over 95 plate appearances in 2023. The 26-year-old is heating up at the plate, collecting a hit in three of his last four contests. India's bounceback is legit, evidenced by his 43.9% hard-hit percentage in 2023, up 15 points compared to 28.8% in 2022. He will look to keep his strong start going in Monday's matchup against Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with India, and he makes an intriguing DFS option for Monday's slate at his $4,900 price tag on DraftKings.

The Cincinnati Reds have no plans to move Jonathan India from second base next season despite the league's new shift restrictions, which will put a premium on athleticism on the infield. India dealt with several injuries in a disappointing 2022 season following his National League Rookie of the Year honors in 2021. "(India) was in Cincinnati last weekend running sprints, and he looked better than he did the entire year last year," manager David Bell said. "He's a young player. He's plenty athletic. He's determined to kind of maximize his range. In my mind, he's our second baseman right now." The Reds will also give Spencer Steer a long look at third base, and Jose Barrero will compete for the starting gig at shortstop with Kevin Newman and Matt Reynolds.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (foot) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs after fouling a ball off his foot on Tuesday night. It means that India will finish his 2022 season with a disappointing .249/.327/.378 slash line with 10 home runs, 41 RBI, 48 runs scored and three stolen bases in 386 at-bats a year after winning the National League Rookie of the Year award. With India on the bench for the season finale, rookie Spencer Steer is starting at second base and hitting sixth against Cubs right-hander Adrian Sampson. Steer is hitting just .207 (19-for-92) with two homers, seven RBI and 24 strikeouts in his first 27 big-league contests.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India isn't in the team's lineup for Monday's matchup with the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-handed starter Bryse Wilson. India is hitting .262 this season with a .331 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 350 plate appearances. Instead, it'll be Alejo Lopez starting at second base and batting sixth against the Pirates. The 26-year-old is hitting .323 this season with a .385 on-base percentage, a home run, and three stolen bases in 109 plate appearances. He's worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (knee) is back at second base and is batting leadoff on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Wade Miley. India was injured and had to leave the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday, but he was able to heal up during the team's off day on Monday. It's been a disappointing year for last year's National League Rookie of the Year, as he's been in and out of the lineup due to various injuries. India is hitting .265/.335/.412 with nine home runs, 32 RBI, 39 runs scored and two stolen bases in 322 plate appearances over 76 games. The good news is he's gone 22-for-65 (.339) with two homers, eight RBI and 12 runs scored in 17 games since Aug. 16. Get him back into your fantasy lineups.

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jonathan India (leg) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The 25-year-old was taken out of the game after fouling a ball off his leg. He looked to be in pain afterwards, but was likely removed as a precaution. The expectation is that he'll undergo further testing and imaging to make sure everything is fine. Fantasy managers should expect an update on India after the contest.

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India (leg) is starting at second base and is hitting second against the Washington Nationals and right-hander Cade Cavalli on Friday. India left the game early on Wednesday with more soreness in his lower left leg and he missed Thursday's game, but he's back a day later to begin the weekend series against Washington. Last year's National League Rookie of the Year has found it much tougher sledding in his second MLB campaign, although injuries haven't helped his cause. The 25-year-old has remained cold in August and is hitting .245/.310/.397 overall with eight home runs, 27 RBI, 32 runs scored and two stolen bases in 281 plate appearances and 67 games.
