CINCINNATI -- Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett, who is on the 60-day injured list, will be in Class A Advanced Daytona on Monday to begin a rehab assignment.

A 2018 National League All-Star, Gennett has been out since he severely strained his right groin on March 22 during a Spring Training game against the Brewers.

“We have a plan set," Reds manager David Bell said on Sunday. "The first place he’s going is Daytona Beach. He’s going to be there for at least a few days, then I anticipate the rehab will continue somewhere else.”

The assignment will move because the Florida State League will be having its All-Star break.

After a few weeks of fielding drills, running and batting practice with the Reds at home and on the road, Gennett went to the team complex in Goodyear, Ariz., and played in some simulated games.

“Everything was good [health-wise],” Bell said.

Iglesias on paternity leave

The Reds placed shortstop José Iglesias on the paternity list Sunday, so he could be home in Miami for the pending birth of his third child.

“He flew home this morning. We anticipate he’ll be back for Wednesday’s game,” Bell said.

To take his spot on the roster, reliever Robert Stephenson was activated from the 10-day IL, where he'd been since May 31 because of a neck strain.

Wood update

Reds lefty pitcher Alex Wood (lower back spasms) threw 35 pitches during his side bullpen session on Saturday, his third since June 8. Wood is scheduled to face hitters in a live batting practice session on Tuesday.

Family day at GABP

Despite Sunday morning showers and the tarp over the infield, several Reds players and coaches enjoyed family day on the field with their kids. Bell, who has two kids of his own, thought the time was special.

“It was fun,” he said. “It actually worked better because it was raining, and we just got to run around on the outfield grass. None of us get enough time together as a family. Any time you can have a few minutes and just see the kids out there running around and having fun, just playing and having fun, it’s nice to be able to do it in a big league ballpark together on the grass out there.”

Dietrich’s dad big part of his MLB dream

Derek Dietrich's father, Rich, has always been an important part of his life, but he has also been a big influence on the Reds second baseman's career -- in good times, bad times and even some funny ones, too.

“My dad used to construct his own L-screens when I was taking batting practice as a kid,” Dietrich explained. “This one time, the homemade L-screen had a hole in it just from repeated hitting off it at the local park. I hit one through it and it was towards the end of the round and we were about to finish. I wanted to stop because I didn’t want to make it dangerous. My dad said, ‘No, we’ll be fine. Let’s keep going.’ Sure enough, after three or four more pitches, I hit one through the net and it hit him right on the thigh. He had a black-and-blue mark from his hip down past his calf -- solid purple. Man, we got a pretty good laugh out of that one.”

Dietrich has Major League bloodlines since his maternal grandfather, Steve Demeter, played 15 games with the Tigers and Indians over the 1959 and ’60 seasons in addition to a Minor League career of playing and coaching. But Dietrich’s father also made sure he had everything he needed to be successful on the field.

“My dad has been throwing me batting practice from the time I could remember in our driveway even until this offseason,” Dietrich said. “He’s always thrown to me and has always been there for me. This was never a time that I asked -- whether it was practice, a game or anything -- that when I needed or asked him to help me when he had to say no or couldn’t make it. With work or travel or anything, he always made sure that he was available to help me practice, get to games and everything. For that, I’m forever thankful. He helped me progress as a person and as a player.”

During Father’s Day games, for the fourth consecutive year, players wore specially-designed New Era caps to raise awareness and funds for the fight against prostate cancer. Players also had the option to wear Stance multi-pattern blue-dyed socks. MLB will again donate 100% of its royalties from the sales of specialty caps and apparel emblazoned with the symbolic blue ribbon -- a minimum $300,000 collective donation -- to the Prostate Cancer Foundation and Stand Up To Cancer.

This effort also includes the annual Prostate Cancer Foundation “Home Run Challenge,” which has given fans the chance to make a one-time monetary donation or pledge for every home run hit by their favorite MLB Clubs during the time period of Saturday, June 1st through Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16th, all the while tracking where their team stacks up in a “Team vs. Team” competition. Every dollar donated through the Home Run Challenge goes to PCF to fund critical research to defeat prostate cancer. As of June 13th, more than $1.26 million has been pledged via the Home Run Challenge in 2019. Since inception, the Home Run Challenge has raised more than $51 million for PCF, the world’s leading philanthropic organization funding and accelerating prostate cancer research.

Founded in 1993, Prostate Cancer Foundation has funded nearly $800 million of cutting-edge research by 2,200 scientists at 220 leading cancer centers in 22 countries around the world. Because of PCF’s commitment to ending death and suffering from prostate cancer, the death rate is down more than 52% and 1.5 million men are alive today as a result. PCF research now impacts 67 forms of human cancer by focusing on immunotherapy, the microbiome, and food as medicine. Learn more at pcf.org.
