AAAA Affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds
The first week of the year featuring action from all four minor league affiliates of the Cincinnati Reds is in the books, and Farmers Only is here to highlight the best of said action. We’ll start with the AA Chattanooga Lookouts, seeing as that squad won each of their first three games of the season […]
Chase Burns got the start for the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday in Arlington as the good guys looked to complete the three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers. Brock Burke got the save for the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday in Arlington as the good guys did, in fact, complete the three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers. […]
The Cincinnati Reds vs. Leiter, you say? Let’s just hope this edition turns out a little bit differently than that one time we’re all now thinking about. Chase Burns leads the Reds against Jack Leiter and the Texas Rangers down at Globe Life Field in Arlington, and he does so with a potential sweep on […]
The Cincinnati Reds powered their way to victory on Friday in the series opener against the Texas Rangers, with 2-run blasts by Spencer Steer and Tyler Stephenson fueling the 5-3 victory. On Saturday, it was starting pitcher Rhett Lowder’s excellence paired with some timely bucket brigade of singles that led to Cincinnati’s 2-0 win. On […]
The Cincinnati Reds and righty Rhett Lowder take on the Texas Rangers and former top pick Kumar Rocker on Saturday evening in Arlington. Lineups for the game are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups REDS RANGERS TJ Friedl – CF Brandon Nimmo – RF Matt McLain – 2B Wyatt Langford – LF Elly De La […]
Nathaniel Lowe posted a 122 OPS+ in nearly 2600 PA for the Texas Rangers across four full seasons after coming over from the Tampa Bay Rays. In that time he was valued at 11.5 bWAR, won a Gold Glove, a World Series, and a Silver Slugger Award – the latter coming during a remarkable 2022 […]
Asking concrete questions during the first full week of the 162-game slate is always a bit perilous. For instance, had I asked you before Friday’s series opener against the Texas Rangers whether or not Spencer Steer and Tyler Stephenson should be losing playing time due to their struggles, my best guess is that many of […]
The Cincinnati Reds hit the road for the first time during Thursday’s day off, and on Friday began their first road series of the 2026 season. Fortunately for them, they opened the scoring in their game against the Texas Rangers the very same way they ended it – with a major 2-run homer from a […]
Brady Singer gets the ball for the Cincinnati Reds in his second start of the 2026 campaign, and he’ll do so looking to improve significantly on his first outing. Perhaps it was the blister issue that dogged him late in spring camp, but Singer labored through just 4.0 IP in his initial outing of the […]
The Cincinnati Reds searched for a way to get lefty Nick Lodolo a rehab start on Thursday, doing so while also trying to dodge any of the adverse weather conditions that led to his initial blister flare-up in the first place. The lefty’s blister issue first became a problem down in Arizona late in spring […]

The Cincinnati Reds play host to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the series finale on Wednesday afternoon in Great American Ball Park, and they do so with reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes as their competition for the day. Andrew Abbott will get the start for the Reds with hopes he can replicate […]
If you just look at the box score for this game, it won’t tell you much beyond the Cincinnati Reds getting handed a loss by 5 runs from their division rivals from upriver in Pittsburgh. However, there was a level of nuance to how this one shook out that wasn’t quite so objective, and that’s […]
Brandon Williamson and the Cincinnati Reds play host to Bubba Chandler and the Pittsburgh Pirates in Great American Ball Park on Tuesday evening. A win tonight would give the Reds a second consecutive series victory to start 2026, which would be very, very nice. First pitch is set for 6:40 PM ET. Lineups below. Go […]
It’s been since September 17th, 2024 since Brandon Williamson has taken a mound in a professional baseball game at any level, let alone at the big league level. His grind back after having Tommy John surgery on the UCL in his left arm, though, is finally complete. Williamson will start for the Cincinnati Reds tonight […]
While the AAA Louisville Bats got their 2026 regular season underway last week just like the big league Cincinnati Reds, the lower minors affiliates will begin their campaigns later this week. With that on the docket, the rosters for the respective Opening Days for the High-A Dayton Dragons (Thursday evening against the Lansing Lugnuts) and […]
The Cincinnati Reds ran their win streak to three games on Monday with a hotly contested 2-0 shutout victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the series opener between the NL Central rivals in Great American Ball Park.

You may recall some of the highlights (and lone true lowlight) of Chase Burns’ rookie campaign in 2025. He began his year in late June by striking out just about every single New York Yankee that came to the plate against him only to get lit up by a Boston Red Sox club in his […]
Sal Stewart hit 5 homers for the Cincinnati Reds once called upon for the stretch run of the 2025 season, and he backed it up with a pair of hits (and 4 RBI) in Cincinnati’s brief postseason play against the Los Angeles Dodgers. People saw him. People became aware of him. The brash rookie in […]
It had been a bit of a slow start to the season for Eugenio Suárez entering play on Sunday. It’s hard to fault him for it, of course, as he’d been away on the roller coaster that was Team Venezuela’s victory in the World Baseball Classic and had far from the typical spring training warm-up. […]
Rhett Lowder returns to the mound for the Cincinnati Reds for the first time after his lost 2025 season, and does so with a series victory over the Boston Red Sox on the line. First pitch is slated for 1:40 PM ET. Lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups RED SOX REDS Roman Anthony […]
The Cincinnati Reds got their first win of the 2026 on Saturday, and it came in dramatic fashion. Dane Myers laced a liner into LF in the Bottom of the 11th, and that was deep enough for TJ Friedl to race home from 2B ahead of the throw in from Boston Red Sox star Roman […]
There was ample action in Great American Ball Park on Saturday, and the end result was a 6-5 victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Boston Red Sox. Dane Myers swatted a single over the shortstop – a replacement shortstop, I should add – in the Bottom of the 11th inning for his first hit, […]
Sonny Gray returns to Great American Ball Park to face his former team as the Cincinnati Reds play host to the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. Lineups are listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups RED SOX REDS Roman Anthony – LF TJ Friedl – CF Trevor Story – SS Matt McLain – 2B Jarren […]
