Latest news and updates about the Reds
The Cincinnati Reds have officially made a swap at the hot corner. Eugenio Suárez is back after battling through an oblique issue, returning to the Reds exactly one month since the last time he played on April 22nd. That will immediately add some more thump to a Reds lineup that has been more thumpworthy of […]
By now you are all well aware of the quad issue that plagued Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz during the second half of the 2025 season. He rolled into the All Star Game having already hit 18 homers on the season, sporting a .495 slugging percentage and .854 OPS at the time. During […]
In taking Tuesday night’s game over the Philadelphia Phillies in 4-1 fashion, the Cincinnati Reds have set themselves up for a chance to win a road series for the first time in a month. The last time they accomplished such a feat came on April 21st when they wrapped up a victory in the second […]
There’s a Simpsons joke for every occasion. If the Phillies had tasted victory against Chase Burns, I would’ve had a great opportunity to break out one of my favorite quotes from the character with whom he shares a surname—“Honestly, Smithers, I don’t know why Harvard even bothers to show up— they barely even won!”. Except […]
As poorly as the 2025-26 season has gone for Liverpool, it’s gone quite a bit worse for West Ham. London’s Hammers appear a near-lock for relegation, as they would both need to beat Leeds on the final day and for Spurs to earn no points from their final two matches against Chelsea and Everton. If, […]
When it was reported during last night’s game that Dylan Crews was making his way back to the big league club, most assumed the corresponding move would either be an injured list stint for Jacob Young, who wore 93 to the ribs from former Florida Gator teammate Christian Scott, or a DFA’ing of Joey Wiemer, […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Reds: Let’s talk about it.
Nobody who watched the first week of Rece Hinds’ MLB career will ever forget it. Most everybody who watched it will use it as a measuring stick for the debut of any other player, so rife was it with gargantuan homers and pinpoint precision with his powerful swing. If only things had managed to keep […]
The 2026 Cleveland Guardians are, for the most part, precisely the kind of team the Cleveland Guardians have come to always be. They don’t hit for a ton of power – their 42 homers rank 19th overall, their .136 ISO 22nd. They do, though, walk a lot (11.2%, 4th in the game), and they avoid […]
Coming off a 14-run loss is never how you want a series to end, but the Nationals should be content with taking the result of their Thursday night contest against the Cincinnati Reds after winning the first two games. A Luis Garcia Jr. and Daylen Lile takeover saw them glide to a 10-4 victory in […]
Well then. The Cincinnati Reds have fumbled the first two games of this series away, the Washington Nationals being perfectly positioned to recover them. So, once again, the Reds will turn to young Chase Burns needing him to perform a miracle just to rescue them from worst-case scenario. After Wednesday’s blown 5-run lead and debacle […]
Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson destroyed a ball for a grand slam in the Bottom of the 1st inning tonight in Great American Ball Park, the blast giving the Reds an early 5-0 lead. This, of course, came just a day after they were run ragged by a rebuilding Washington Nationals club 10-4 in the […]
Cincinnati Reds lefty Nick Lodolo is back on the mound for his second start of the 2026 season after blisters cost him the entirety of the month of April. He’ll face the Washington Nationals, who pummelled Reds pitching for six homers in the series opener on Tuesday in Great American Ball Park. The Reds will […]
The Nats won the first game of the series emphatically in Cincinnati. They hit a whopping six home runs in the 10-4 blow out win. Now, they will look to follow that up with another strong performance to claim a series win. Hopefully they do not drop the ball like they did in Miami. With […]
Visitors to Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night were greeted with a barrage of baseballs in the stands. Unfortunately, none of them were socked by the Cincinnati Reds. Instead, the Reds themselves offered up six homers to the visiting Washington Nationals in a 10-4 drubbing that once again served as a reminder to just […]
Rhett Lowder exited his start early on Thursday, escorted off the mound by a trainer after walking back to back batters to start back to back innings. Reports at the time indicated that he’d felt ‘clicking’ in his right shoulder, though the good news came on Friday when his MRI results came back clean. Still, […]
TODAY’S GAME: The Houston Astros (16-24) and Cincinnati Reds (21-19) play the final game of a three-game series this afternoon at Great American Ball Park with first pitch scheduled for 12:40 p.m. CT. RHP Kai-Wei Teng (1-2, 2.35 ERA) will be on the mound for the Astros, opposite LHP Andrew Abbott (1-2, 5.13 ERA) and […]
Nothing, and I do mean nothing has gone right for the Cincinnati Reds for the better part of two weeks. On Saturday, they’ll once again get the chance to show they’re better than they’ve been during this brutal 8-game losing streak, and they’ll fortunately have their resident ace on the mound in young Chase Burns. […]
Lance McAlister, WLW’s Pre & Post Game Host for Reds baseball, sits down to preview Houston’s weekend series in Cincinnati. Q: The Reds have cooled down a little since their hot start. What’s the overall pulse of the club presently? A: They are in a precarious spot. They got off to a big start, […]
I’m running out of superlatives to describe what the 2026 Chicago Cubs are doing, but I’m certainly going to try, because the Cubs keep topping themselves every single day. On a coolish Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field, the Cubs decided they’d had enough of late-inning comebacks and walk-off wins and instead dominated the Reds in […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 38 Cubs 8, Reds 3: Shōta Imanaga and Michael Conforto lead the team to its ninth straight win Cubs vs. Reds, Thursday 5/7, 1:20 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds preview, Thursday 5/7, 1:20 CT
It’s a headline that’s grammatically difficult to write. It’s a concept that’s rationally hard to stomach. The Cincinnati Reds have lost back, to back, to back games to the Chicago Cubs to begin this four-game series, and they’ve been walked-off in all three of them. The last two of them have even come in extra-innings. […]
The Cincinnati Reds are going bold in their attempts to address their diminished bullpen. In the wake of last night’s hamstring injury to closer Emilio Pagan, they’re turning to veteran right-hander Tejay Antone to bolster their relief corps. C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic broke the news earlier on Wednesday, noting that Antone – who’s […]
It’s been an exciting few days of Cubs baseball at the corner of Clark and Addison. Last night the Cubs walked off the Reds in the bottom of the tenth inning for their second walkoff win in a row. Tuesday night Michael Conforto hit the first walk-off home run of his career and the first […]
Honestly, I am running out of superlatives to describe what the Chicago Cubs have done over the last three weeks. For quite some time, Tuesday’s game against the Reds at Wrigley Field looked like one of those “tip the cap to the other guy” games. Andrew Abbott was dealing and the Cubs couldn’t really do […]
