Reds' Zack Cozart: Not in lineup Monday

Cozart (knee) is not in the lineup Monday against the Dodgers, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Cozart will miss a fifth consecutive game as he continues to battle soreness in his knee. While the Reds haven't indicated that a DL stint is in Cozart's future, at this point it's fair to wonder how much more time he could miss before that becomes a possibility. Jose Peraza will again fill in at shortstop Monday, and he'll bat second in the order behind Billy Hamilton.
