He delivered a 113 wRC+ across 63 games as a rookie in 2023. With Votto moving on at the end of that season, Encarnacion-Strand opened 2024 as Cincinnati\u2019s everyday first baseman. He hit just .190 over the first six weeks of the year. A broken wrist ended his campaign in early May.<\/p>\n<p>It was more of the same for Encarnacion-Strand last year. He had the first base job to begin the season, but posted a .482 OPS through three weeks, then hit the IL with back inflammation. Encarnacion-Strand spent most of June with the big-league club, slashing .230\/.262\/.410 over 17 games. He was sent back to Triple-A in early July.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds landed Encarnacion-Strand in an August 2022 trade that sent right-hander <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/mahlety01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-04-08_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tyler Mahle<\/a><\/strong> to Minnesota.

The swap seemed like a good piece of business for Cincinnati after 2023, with Mahle limited to nine starts in his Twins tenure and the infielders looking like key cogs for the Reds. Outside of Steer\u2019s league-average contributions the past couple of seasons, it\u2019s largely ended up as a wash for both sides.<\/p>\n<p>Higgins hasn\u2019t appeared in the big leagues since 2022 with the Cubs. He was decent in part-time work with Chicago, delivering a 99 wRC+ with six home runs across 74 games. After bouncing to the Diamondbacks and then back to the Cubs, Higgins landed with the Reds on a minor league deal ahead of the 2024 season. He\u2019s provided subpar offensive numbers over the past two years at Triple-A.
