The Reds sent Matt McLain to the Arizona Fall League to face live pitching in a game setting, aiming to get him valuable at-bats after he missed the entire 2024 season. With McLain being a late addition to the roster, he knew he would have to play multiple positions to get his bat in the lineup.

McLain will play his third position of the fall on Tuesday, starting at third base. The 25-year-old has previously started at second base and center field.

The Glendale Desert Dogs are 15-12 and will face off against the Surprise Saguaros at 3:30 ET.
