The Reds are staying competitive in the hotly-contested National League Central, where all five teams were above .500 on June 3. But they were well back of the sizzling Milwaukee Brewers.
Star shortstop Elly De La Cruz is the top hitter for the Reds, leading the team in several categories including home runs. But De La Cruz went on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring problem on June 1, and might not be ready to face the Diamondbacks.
Cincinnati was where Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno suffered a hand injury and lost a lot of time last season, and also where top prospect Cristian Mena, a pitcher, suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.
