CINCINNATI -- For the third straight year, Major League players get to show some of their personality through their uniforms on Players’ Weekend, which will take place Aug. 23-25. The Reds will be playing the Pirates and wearing monochrome white uniforms, while Pittsburgh wears all black.

Each player had an opportunity to personalize the name on the back of their jerseys. Here is the list of names that Cincinnati players will wear on theirs:

Aristides Aquino: "PJ"

The rookie home run sensation, Aquino's childhood nickname is "The Punisher," but he's going with PJ, which stands for "Punisher Junior."

Tucker Barnhart: "TUCK"

Trevor Bauer: "J OCHART"

Bauer lost a bet to Jason Ochart, a hitting instructor at Driveline Baseball, where he works out in the offseason. Ochart is also the Minor League hitting coordinator for the Phillies' organization.

• Every team's Players' Weekend nicknames

Luis Castillo: "LA PIEDRA"

Castillo’s nickname translates from Spanish to English as “the rock,” because it’s like he’s throwing stones past hitters.

Anthony DeSclafani: "DISCO"

It’s been DeSclafani’s nickname since before he arrived to Cincinnati.

Derek Dietrich: "DIETZ"

Sonny Gray: "GRAY"
