Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Brady Singer vs. Kyle Leahy
The Cincinnati Reds should be fresh following their off-day on Thursday, but they’re also ‘fresh’ off losing 4 of 6 at home during their most recent homestand against the Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals, respectively. Now, the Reds are in St. Louis and ready to face a Cardinals club that they saw briefly two […]
Tony Santillan implodes again in 5-2 Reds loss to Royals
I feel for Tony Santillan at the moment. He’s been such a vital part of the Cincinnati Reds bullpen, when healthy, for several years now, but it’s undeniable that he’s been struggling for weeks now to no avail. Problem is, the more he struggles, the more that’s still being asked of him. Simultaneous with his […]
Cincinnati Reds vs. Kansas City Royals – Chase Burns vs. Stephen Kolek
Yesterday’s come from behind victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Kansas City Royals did a little bit to assuage the mental damage done by losing Elly De La Cruz to a hamstring injury and IL stint earlier in the week. The Reds have managed to keep their heads above the .500 mark for another […]
Rhett Lowder to start for Reds on Sunday in St. Louis
Rhett Lowder took the mound in a professional baseball game on Tuesday night for the first time in nearly a month. What he produced didn’t matter nearly as much as how he felt after getting in the work with AAA Louisville, and apparently he’s feeling just fine. According to MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon, Lowder came out […]
Reds recall Noelvi Marte, option TJ Friedl to AAA Louisville
The seemingly neverending shuffle of the Cincinnati Reds outfield got another significant round on Wednesday afternoon. This time, it featured the demotion of a player nobody, if polled in the offseason, would have expected would be off the active roster just 60 games into the 2026 season. The Reds made a straight swap, optioning former […]
Blake Dunn walks it off for Reds in comeback win over Royals
It’s difficult to truly justify a game as a ‘must-win’ just 60 games into a 162 game MLB season, but Tuesday evening in Great American Ball Park began to feel like one shortly after its start. The Cincinnati Reds, losers of 4 of their last 5 games, were sitting perilously close to being just .500 […]
Game 60: Reds vs. Royals (7:10 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Cameron
We’re doing our best to block out a lot of what’s been going on with the Cincinnati Reds of late. The rotation is in tatters. The bullpen is in even worse condition. They’re now missing Elly De La Cruz from the lineup, and they’re at risk of dipping all the way back to the .500 […]
Reds promote pitcher Zach McCambley, send Rhett Lowder out on rehab assignment
The writing was on the wall for the Cincinnati Reds yesterday when star pitcher Chase Burns was scratched late from his scheduled start against the Kansas City Royals due to illness. When the once-dependable portion of the team’s tattered rotation was turned into a spot bullpen start, it was a clear indication that some more […]
The last place Cincinnati Reds can’t even be sellers this year
There are five teams that play baseball in the National League Central division, and the Cincinnati Reds are in fifth place among them. They own a -39 run differential so far through 59 games, a mark that’s the third worst in the entire NL. Their best position player, Elly De La Cruz, is on the […]
Game 59: Reds vs. Royals (7:10 PM ET) – Richardson vs. Avila
The Cincinnati Reds will begin their sans-Elly era on Monday night in Great American Ball Park with the Kansas City Royals in town. They’ll also do so without Chase Burns, who was scratched from his scheduled start due to him battling an illness at the moment. As a result, the patchwork infield will back Lyon […]
Chase Burns scratched with illness; Edwin Arroyo to debut vs. Royals
It has been quite the administrative few days for the Cincinnati Reds. Fresh off a weekend that saw them need to place both Graham Ashcraft and Pierce Johnson on the injured list, the Reds were forced to place star Elly De La Cruz on there due to hamstring issues earlier on Monday. Kyle Nicolas was […]
Cincinnati Reds minor leaguers who crushed the month of May
The month of May is in the rearview mirror, and a handful of select Cincinnati Reds farmhands are going to look back on it fondly for quite some time. Here are four minor leaguers who absolutely smashed the ball during the most recent month: Carlos Jorge, OF (AA Chattanooga Lookouts) We’ve seen decent power from […]
Reds place Elly De La Cruz on IL, call up Edwin Arroyo
Sunday afternoon in Great American Ball Park brought out the full range of emotions for the Cincinnati Reds. They picked up a win to stave off a would-be sweep by the Atlanta Braves, but watched as superstar Elly De La Cruz pulled up lame rounding 1B on a ball he hit to the wall in […]
Elly De La Cruz exits Sunday’s game vs. Braves with hamstring injury
Elly De La Cruz was having a stellar Sunday in the series finale against the Atlanta Braves in the series finale in Great American Ball Park, opening the day with a single, walk, stolen base, and a pair of runs scored. Things sure seemed like they were about to get even better when he led […]
Game 58: Reds vs. Braves (1:40 PM ET) – Lodolo vs. Strider
The Cincinnati Reds try to salvage the series against the Atlanta Braves by at least claiming the final game, having lost each of the first two contests against their old NL West rivals. Nick Lodolo and Spencer Strider get the starts for their respective clubs, with first pitch set for 1:40 PM ET. Lineups for […]
Reds turn to Nick Lodolo to salvage series against Braves
The Atlanta Braves rolled into Great American Ball Park on Friday with the most wins in Major League Baseball and the league’s best winning percentage, too. So far, they’ve done nothing in their time in Cincinnati to diminish either count. Atlanta claimed Friday’s series opener by the score of 8-3 and backed it up with […]
Game 57: Reds vs. Braves (7:15 PM ET) – Singer vs. Perez
The Cincinnati Reds look to level the series in Great American Ball Park against the visiting Atlanta Braves, a veritable juggernaut who claimed the opening game of the series 8-3 last night. Brady Singer starts, and hopefully will not give up 3 homers for the third consecutive start. Lineups for both clubs listed below. Go […]
The Cincinnati Reds have no relief
Still reeling from losing Graham Ashcraft to the 60-day IL with a UCL strain in his right elbow, the Cincinnati Reds lost another veteran arm from their bullpen on Saturday afternoon. Pierce Johnson was placed on the 15-day IL with inflammation in his right elbow, as MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon relayed, and the ripple effect necessitated […]
The Reds need Brady Singer to find it, and find it pronto
There are 122 pitchers who have thrown at least 40 innings so far in 2026, and only five of them have a higher ERA than Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer. Two of those are members of the Colorado Rockies, though, so we’re going to go with just three. Singer sports a 6.52 FIP throgh his […]
Game 56: Reds vs. Braves (6:40 PM ET) – Paddack vs. Holmes
The Cincinnati Reds are back home in Great American Ball Park after a quick trip to New York and a day off on Thursday. Friday evening sees them open a homestand that will first feature the Atlanta Braves in town. The Braves have the best record in baseball, which is a problem. Chris Paddack will […]
Cincinnati hosts Atlanta with Chris Paddack on the mound
Chris Paddack has logged a pair of starts for the Cincinnati Reds since they picked him up as an emergency band-aid for their starting rotation, and he’s been perfectly fine in those outings. He’s thrown exactly 5.0 IP in each, allowed a total of 4 ER in those 10 IP, and has 8 strikeouts against […]
Reds place Graham Ashcraft on 60-day IL with UCL strain
The blows to the Cincinnati Reds bullpen keep right on coming. On Friday, somewhat out of the blue, the Reds placed Graham Ashcraft on the injured list with what’s being called a “UCL sprain right forearm,” and they didn’t just place him on the 15-day IL, either. Ashcraft went straight to the 60-day IL, a […]
Will the Reds work their way back to Noelvi Marte?
As of the morning of May 29th, there have been 171 players who have logged at least 120 plate appearances at the AAA level so far this season. Noelvi Marte is one of them, and none of the other players in that group has hit for a higher average (.371) than him. He ranks fifth […]
Edwin Arroyo rockets up latest Top 50 prospect list at The Athletic
Keith Law of The Athletic released his mid-season Top 50 overall prospect list this morning, and by his count the Cincinnati Reds have a different top prospect in their system than they did on Opening Day. On the heels of his brilliant start to the AAA season, infielder Edwin Arroyo landed all the way at […]
Game 55: Reds at Mets (7:10 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Brazoban
The Cincinnati Reds have brooms on their mind tonight in Queens, as they’ve already taken the first two games of the three game series against the New York Mets on the road in Citi Field. Now, they’ll send Andrew Abbott to the mound in the best form of his season to help make it happen. […]
