Second baseman Scooter Gennett also has experience at third base. Among the options at Triple-A Louisville for the Reds are Alex Blandino, the starting third baseman for Triple-A Louisville, and Nick Senzel, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft. The Bats took Blandino out of a game nine minutes after the Suarez injury was announced.
