The Cincinnati Reds have added Matt McLain to their Arizona Fall League roster.

McLain, who played in the AFL in 2022, missed the entire 2024 season due to a shoulder injury he suffered in spring training.

The 25-year-old year was one of the Reds best players when he was called up in 2023, appearing in 89 games and slashing .290/.357/.507 with 43 extra-base hits and 14 stolen bases.

It'll be good to see McLain get some at-bats in live-game action as he has not appeared in a Major League game since Aug. 27, 2023.
