The Cincinnati Reds are considering options for their second base position as the season progresses. Both Matt McLain and Edwin Arroyo have seen playing time, with Arroyo making a strong case for more starts after hitting.277 this season and displaying solid performance recently. McLain, who had a breakout season four years ago, currently holds a lower OPS than Arroyo and has struggled to maintain consistent hitting post-surgery. The Reds are in last place and face decisions that could impact both their immediate performance and future roster moves. Fans are invited to weigh in through a survey on who should be the regular second baseman going forward.
