Reds' Zack Cozart: Remains out of lineup

Cozart (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Analysis:

Cozart hasn't played since Aug. 18, as he continues to deal with knee soreness. In his place, Jose Peraza will start at shortstop and bat second. Despite his extended absence from the lineup, Cozart has not been placed on the DL, so consider him day-to-day heading into Friday's outing against the Diamondbacks.
