The Reds and Blue Jays open their final 2026 series Friday at 7:07 p.m. ET, with Nick Lodolo facing Jose Soriano. Toronto is out of the AL wild-card race, while Cincinnati’s postseason hopes ended months ago.
Cincinnati’s listed lineup: Carlos Jorge (CF), Elly De La Cruz (DH), Sal Stewart (1B), JJ Bleday (LF), Eugenio Suarez (3B), Hector Rodriguez (RF), Juan Brito (2B), Jose Trevino (C) and Oswaldo Cabrera (SS). Toronto lists Charles McAdoo (2B), Alejandro Kirk (C), Vladimir Guerrero (1B), George Springer (DH), Kazuma Okamoto (3B), Nathan Lukes (RF), Davis Schneider (LF), Ernie Clement (SS) and Myles Straw (CF).
De La Cruz hit his 30th home run Thursday and is one stolen base shy of a 30-30 season. Sal Stewart remains in contention for the major-league RBI lead.
