Cincinnati Reds vs. Arizona Diamondbacks – Nick Lodolo vs. Eduardo Rodriguez
The Cincinnati Reds are in the Sonoran Desert on Friday night to take on Eduardo Rodriguez and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Rodriguez is a lefty, and the Reds simply have no way to prepare a roster for such events, so they’ve got no fewer than six guys in the starting lineup who probably shouldn’t be in […]
Reds activate Tony Santillan ahead of series against Diamondbacks
It’s almost certainly too little, too late, but the Cincinnati Reds are beginning to get some of their bullpen arms back in form. Graham Ashcraft, for instance, threw a bullpen on Tuesday at Great American Ball Park and seems poised for a rehab stint as early as this weekend. On Friday, though, the Reds got […]
It’s the Cincinnati front office that’s behind the latest Reds failure
There is a giant pile of blame to chuck around for the failures of the 2026 Cincinnati Reds. Just yesterday, for instance, they had the game, series, and bragging rights in the bag against the St. Louis Cardinals with two-out in the Bottom of the 9th only for their centerfielder to – quite literally – […]
Reds lose to Cardinals in most Reds way possible
You’re the home team. You’ve got two-outs on your opponents in the Top of the 9th, clinging to a one-run lead. There are runners on 2B and 3B, and you’ve got a lefty on lefty matchup with one of your best relievers on the bump. He gets a fly ball, albeit a deep one. It […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Brady Singer vs. Michael McGreevy
The Cincinnati Reds hold just a 0.2% chance of making the playoffs as of writing on Thursday morning, that coming from the fine folks at FanGraphs. The St. Louis Cardinals, though, are still clinging to a much more realistic miracle scenario with a 9.5% chance. So, if the Reds are going to get anything tangible […]
Sal Stewart was precocious, now he’s just metal as all hell
It’s easy to forget that Sal Stewart is still two weeks away from his one year anniversary as being a big leaguer. Called up by the Cincinnati Reds on September 1st of 2025 when rosters expanded, he hit the ground running back then, too, but his 2026 season just continues to show that the Reds […]
The Reds get to try to score a run again tonight against the Cardinals
The Cincinnati Reds were shutout in yesterday’s 3-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals as their league-worst offense continues to be in a funk so deep even George Clinton is impressed. On Wednesday evening in Great American Ball Park, they’ll get to turn to ace Chase Burns with hopes that he can somehow hold the […]
The last-place Cincinnati Reds own the worst offense in the sport, again
We have checked in regularly on the woes that plague the Cincinnati Reds, owners of the worst record in the National League Central. Namely, we have checked in regularly on just how absymal their ability to score runs has been all season long, and last night’s shutout loss to the St. Louis Cardinals prompted yet […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Andrew Abbott vs. Kyle Leahy
After a rocky start to the 2026 season, there was a time that Cincinnati Reds lefty Andrew Abbott settled into a rather great groove. That time, though, has sadly evaporated, and he’s been nothing more than mediocre – at best – for a little bit now. Over his last 9 starts dating back to June […]
Who shoulders the blame for this latest bad Reds season?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Reds fans and fans across the country. The Cincinnati Reds salvaged what would have otherwise been a completely daft Monday yesterday, with Elly De La Cruz smacking the first walk-off hit of his […]
Reds option struggling Noelvi Marte to AAA Louisville
There have been a whopping 423 MLB players who have logged at least 100 PA so far during the 2026 regular season. Not a single one of them has produced a worse fWAR that the -1.4 put up by Cincinnati Reds outfielder Noelvi Marte. It will be hard for Marte to compound on that number […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Rhett Lowder vs. Andre Pallante
The Cincinnati Reds lost to the St. Louis Cardinals earlier on Monday, and surprisingly it was not due to the work of lefty Kent Emanuel. The 34 year old journeyman was effectively plucked out of independent league ball to make this start, as the Reds got him, sent him to AAA Louisville to start once, […]
Cincinnati Reds set to take on St. Louis Cardinals in doubleheader Monday
Thanks to a rainout back on May 24th, this Monday will feature a pair of games between the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals as this previously scheduled four-game series now effectively becomes one of the rare five-game variety. The Reds are reeling, once again, having dropped back to back games against the Miami Marlins […]
Reds designate RHP Ron Marinaccio for assignment, select Kent Emanuel
Right-handed reliever Ron Marinaccio was designated for assignment by the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 3rd as the NL Central rivals of the Cincinnati Reds needed 40-man roster spots for other acquisitions. The Reds, meanwhile, had openings on their own 40-man roster after dealing away Caleb Ferguson and Nathaniel Lowe, and scooped up Marinaccio off waivers […]
The Cincinnati bullpen gets its own turn to suffer
Tejay Antone never should have been tasked with this. To be quite clear, I am ecstatic that Antone not only made it back to the big leagues in very successful fashion after his third Tommy John surgery almost two years ago, but he never should’ve found himself in the situations he was in this weekend […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. Miami Marlins – Brady Singer vs. Ryan Gusto
Brady Singer’s rock solid run of form has run out of gas a bit of late. It’s enough to wonder if the entire spotlight of him being an obvious trade piece as the August 3rd trade deadline came, and went, and him still being on the Cincinnati Reds took a bit out of him. Over […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. Miami Marlins – Chase Burns vs. Sergio Alcantara
The Miami Marlins find themselves in the heart of the National League Wild Card chase, sitting just 2.5 games back of the final spot while boasting a 62-60 overall record on the season. So much of what’s gotten them there will be on display as they take on the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night, too. […]
As Reds ace Chase Burns inches closer to his innings limit…
Whether Cincinnati Reds ace Chase Burns is simply slowing down or if the Reds themselves are throttling him a bit we likely won’t ever truly know. That said, he’s only made it through 6.0 IP in 3 of his last 7 starts, and he’s thrown fewer than 90 pitches in 3 of those, too – […]
Sal Stewart dodges beanball, leads Reds to series win over White Sox
Sal Stewart smashed a homer off Chicago White Sox starter Davis Martin in the Top 0f the 1st inning, a homer that was later followed in the same inning with a 2-run shot by Eugenio Suarez. It was the first salvo in a game the Reds would eventually win 9-8, a game that featured Andrew […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago White Sox – Andrew Abbott vs. Davis Martin
The Cincinnati Reds were completely shut down by the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night in Guaranteed Rate Field, foiled by their old friend Luis Castillo. The offense was miserable, the bullpen couldn’t keep it within slam range, and from start to finish things just looked like a team simply out of gas. The beauty […]
Second Tommy John surgery knocks Hunter Greene out for all of 2027 season
We knew the news on Hunter Greene’s troublesome right elbow wasn’t likely to be good. The odds were always long that the doctors would get in there and find something, anything to salvage, and that a less-invasive procedure could be put together that would get him back on the mound for the Cincinnati Reds in […]
Reds 1st round draftee Justin Lebron had a 2-hit debut with Dayton Dragons
The Cincinnati Reds used the 18th pick of the 2026 MLB Draft to select shortstop Justin Lebron out of the University of Alabama, a player who actually entered the 2026 season for the SEC powerhouse as a potential #1 overall pick. Things didn’t go quite as well for him during his final season in Tuscaloosa, […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago White Sox – Rhett Lowder vs. Luis Castillo
In a bygone era where some baseball front offices still valued the concepts of wins and earned run average as gospel, the Cincinnati Reds managed to flip Dan Straily to the Miami Marlins for a fireballing young pitching prospect named Luis Castillo. Castillo, in turn, gave the Reds 792.1 IP across six seasons, 17.8 bWAR, […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago White Sox – Nick Lodolo vs. Sean Burke
The Cincinnati Reds are back in action (for better or for worse) after Monday’s day off, this time on the road in Chicago where they’ll take on the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Reds made several moves earlier in the day, including the activation of lefty Nick Lodolo off the 15-day injured list […]
Cincinnati Reds activate Nick Lodolo, select contract of Michael Toglia
The Cincinnati Reds made official the optioning of IF/OF Ivan Johnson on Monday despite it being an off-day for the club ahead of their series in Chicago against the White Sox. They then gave us a full day to speculate on just what other roster moves lay in store as lefty Nick Lodolo was also […]
