Latest news and updates about the Reds
Game 161. Are there any other sports that play 162 games in a season? Can you imagine if MLB played just 17 games a season? It would be a whole different spot. So, I had a night last night. Men’s Night Out, a charity thing for my wife’s church. I’m the least religious person you’ll […]
Elly De La Cruz reached his 30-30 milestone during Friday night’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, meaning the Cincinnati Reds now have a pair of games left in their 2026 season with roughly nothing left to play for. That’s true for most of the roster, in all honesty. For Rhett Lowder, though, there’s at […]
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Max Scherzer says he hasn't yet decided whether his Saturday start against the visiting Cincinnati Reds will be the final appearance of his MLB career.
Max Scherzer’s near future is sorted out; what’s further down the line remains up in the air. The Toronto Blue Jays will send Max Scherzer to the mound for the season finale against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday, but he’s yet to decide whether or not it’ll be his career finale, he told reporters Saturday. Scherzer, 42, told reporters he wanted one last shot to toe the mound with his family in attendance for the game against the Reds Sunday. It’s been a storied career for the future Hall of Fam...
Max Scherzer will start the Blue Jays’ season finale on Sunday, and told reporters (including Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi) that he’ll wait until the offseason before deciding on his longer-term future. Perhaps reflecting Scherzer’s uncertainty, the future Hall-of-Famer noted that his family will be in attendance tomorrow, just in case the game with the Reds ends […]
When the 2026 Major League Baseball season began there had only been eight seasons in history where a shortstop had hit 30 home runs and stolen 30 bases in the same season. It had never happened in baseball until 1996 when Barry Larkin accomplished the feat for the Cincinnati Reds. Two players have gotten there twice and both were very recently. Bobby Witt Jr. got there in 2023 and 2024, while Francisco Lindor did so in 2023 and 2025. This season two more shortstops joined the group as CJ Abra...

For most of the night, this looked like a typically frustrating 2026 Blue Jays loss. The starting pitching wasn’t very good, the bullpen did enough to keep them in range, and while the offence produce traffic on the bases it failed to turn that into runs. Luckily, things flipped late. The offence woke up and […]
The Cincinnati Reds have their own Tungsten Arm O’Doyle. For those who didn’t let their brains rot on Twitter during the long, lonely COVID days, the fictionally dominant O’Doyle was a shooting star in 2021 as future Hall of Famers Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout languished on a Los Angeles Angels roster that was a […]
TORONTO — Elly De La Cruz hit a two-run double in the third inning of Friday’s game at Toronto, then promptly stole third base on José Soriano’s next pitch to become the fourth Cincinnati player with 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in a single season.

Barry Larkin had 33 homers and 36 steals in 1996, ...

Game One of the last series of the season. Not surprisingly, there was a roster move: CJ Van Eyk was optioned to Buffalo and John Klein has been recalled. So we only have two more days of roster moves let. And Vlad apologized for his comment. People that are mad about it all aren’t going […]
Both the Toronto Blue Jays and Cincinnati Reds entered the 2026 season with high hopes. Toronto was fresh off a 2025 campaign that saw them win 94 games and come damn close to taking down the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series, while the Reds managed to actually win more games […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are making some moves ahead of their final series of the season. Right-handed pitcher John Klein has been recalled from triple-A Buffalo, and in a corresponding move, fellow righty CJ Van Eyk was optioned to the Blue Jays’ spring training complex, the team announced Friday ahead of the opener of their series against the Cincinnati Reds (7:07 p.m. ET on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+). Klein was acquired by Toronto in a deadline trade that sent Jeff Hoffman to the Minnesota Twin...
With the division already clinched, there wasn’t much for the Atlanta Braves to play for entering the final week of the regular season. But with their two losses in the Reds series locking the Braves into the No. 3 seed and no first-round bye, there’s really nothing to play for in this weekend’s final regular-season […]
Atlanta Braves star pitcher Chris Sale has enjoyed another memorable season. While he likely won’t win the National League Cy Young Award given the presence of Jacob Misiorowski, Sale has still been tremendous for the Braves. Sale, however, reached the 200-strikeout mark for the season after striking out 10 Cincinnati Reds in a 3-2 win […] The post How Braves’ Chris Sale joined Nolan Ryan in MLB history appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The last series of the season and there is no playoff implications. Likely starting pitchers: The Reds are 74-85, last in the NL Central (Jays are 77-82, last in the AL East). The Reds have scored 4.12 runs per game, last in the NL (the Jays are last in the AL in runs per game […]
Though their spot in the playoffs is already clinched, a notable piece is back in the Chicago Cubs’ lineup. Star third baseman Alex Bregman is returning to the Cubs’ lineup for the first time since suffering a facial fracture, the team announced ahead of their game against the Boston Red Sox on Friday. He will serve as the Cubs’ designated hitter and bat third, with Matt Shaw occupying his everyday spot at third base. Bregman suffered the injury in Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds aft...
With the division having been locked up last weekend and the seeding essentially being locked in as well, this was pretty much a dead-rubber series for the Atlanta BRaves as they took on a struggling Cincinnati Reds squad that is also playing out the string. As such, the main thing that everybody was looking for was simply quality of performance and health rather than actual results. The Braves have gotten the results that they needed for the 2026 regular season and all they need now is to gea...
