Zack Cozart has missed the past handful of games for the Cincinnati Reds, and the rookie shortstop may sit out a few more.
Cozart has been dealing with a strained left oblique, which is likely to sideline him the rest of the club's homestand.
Veteran Wilson Valdez started two straight games, but recently-promoted prospect Didi Gregorius got the nod on Sunday. The pair will probably split time while Cozart is out, and the first-place Reds can afford to give their regular shortstop plenty of time.
For fantasy owners hoping to see minor league stolen base king Billy Hamilton get the call, it would seem unlikely, as both Valdez and Gregorius are considered better defensive players than Hamilton, who still has yet to play above Double-A.
