Game 37: Reds at Cubs (7:40 PM ET) – Singer vs. Rea

Brady Singer needs a good outing. The Cincinnati Reds need a good outing. The vibes, they are not good on this five-game slide. They’ve lost back to back games on walk-offs after having the game in their lap both times. Tejay Antone is back, which is an insanely good positive boost to said vibes. The […]

Emilio Pagan out 4-8 weeks with Grade 2 hamstring strain

It’s never good news to find out that your team’s closer is going to be sidelined with a serious hamstring injury, and it’s definitely no fun to hear that he may be out for most of two months. However, given how bad last night’s injury looked for Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagan, that’s actually a […]

Reds to recall Tejay Antone over two years after third Tommy John surgery

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 […]

Fixing the Cincinnati Reds bullpen after Emilio Pagan’s injury

We don’t yet have word on the severity of the hamstring injury suffered by Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagan last night. What we do know, though, is what we all saw – and what we saw was a man who’d already once dealt with a sore hamstring this year writhing in pain after delivering just […]

Reds closer Emilio Pagan carted off with hamstring injury

Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagan threw just one pitch in the Bottom of the 9th against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night, and it’s a pitch he’ll surely hope to forget. Immediately after letting it fly to Cubs 2B Nico Hoerner, he reached for his left hamstring – the same left hamstring that had dogged […]

Game 36: Reds at Cubs (7:40 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Taillon

The Cincinnati Reds look to pick themselves up after last night’s walk-off loss (and blown save) at the hands of the Chicago Cubs. Andrew Abbott will start opposite veteran righty Jameson Taillon, with first pitch in Wrigley Field set for 7:40 PM ET. Lineups for both clubs listed below. Go Reds! Today’s Lineups REDS CUBS […]

The Andrew Abbott renaissance begins tonight in Chicago

On the surface, just about everything that Cincinnati Reds lefty Andrew Abbott has been throwing this year is the same as it was during his All Star campaign in 2025. His fastball, never a true heater, is within 0.4 mph of last year’s average, and obviously he’s been pitching in the cooler weather of April. […]

Chase Burns, your National League leader in pitching WAR

Cincinnati Reds righty Chase Burns is fresh off a brilliant outing Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In it he pitched through a career-best 7.0 IP, held the Bucs scoreless, and lowered his season ERA to a tiny 2.20. He owns a 201 ERA+, 1.024 WHIP, and is striking out a wonderful 10.1 batters per 9 […]

Reds melt down in walk-off loss to Cubs in series opener

Emilio Pagan took the mound in the 9th inning for the Cincinnati Reds on Monday, and he did so in a save situation for the first time in some two weeks. The Reds had scratched and clawed their way back to a 4-3 lead after earlier watching a 3-0 lead evaporate, yet the powers that […]

Game 35: Reds at Cubs (7:10 PM ET) – Petty vs. Cabrera

The Cincinnati Reds are in Wrigley tonight to take on the Chicago Cubs. Chase Petty gets the start opposite Edward Cabrera, with first pitch set for a new time of 7:10 PM ET. The game time was moved up half an hour due to inclement weather in the Chicago area. Here’s how these two clubs […]

Reds recall Chase Petty for Monday’s start against Cubs in Wrigley

The Cincinnati Reds made official the return of righty Chase Petty on Monday. The 23 year old starter was recalled from AAA Louisville to start against the Chicago Cubs in the series opener between the National League Central rivals, taking the place in the rotation of the injured Brandon Williamson (who hit the injured list […]

Matt McLain still hasn’t found his 2023 form, again

The Cincinnati Reds clearly began to put an emphasis on defense at some point over the last year. It was the driving reason behind their acquisition of 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes from Pittsburgh at last season’s trade deadline, a move that locked them into a glove-first (if not glove-only) player for a handful of guaranteed years […]

Reds swept by Pirates despite Chase Burns’ excellence on Sunday

The Cincinnati Reds did not have a position player pitch on Sunday in Pittsburgh. They did not get shelled 9-1, or walk seven consecutive batters in a 17-7 drubbing. The Reds instead watched their brightest young star turn in precisely the kind of outing they needed after their starters and bullpen had been torched the […]

Game 34: Reds at Pirates (1:35 PM ET) – Burns vs. Ashcraft

The Cincinnati Reds turn to Chase Burns on Sunday in Pittsburgh as they attempt to salvage a game in their series against the Pirates, who have absolutely unloaded on them in the first two games of the series. Cincinnati starters Brady Singer and Rhett Lowder have been crushed in short starts so far this series, […]

Reds option Rece Hinds to AAA Louisville

Two things have proven true so far for the Cincinnati Reds in this weekend’s series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The first, of course, is that walks will haunt. Cincinnati pitchers walked seven straight batters in Saturday’s 17-7 drubbing by the Buccos, the strike zone simply as hard to find as ships in the Bermuda Triangle. […]

Game 33: Reds at Pirates (4:05 PM ET) – Lowder vs. Mlodzinski

The Cincinnati Reds send Rhett Lowder to the mound on Saturday afternoon in PNC Park looking to level their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Carmen Mlodzinski starts for Pittsburgh on the day. Graham Ashcraft is back with the Reds off the bereavement list, with Zach Maxwell heading back to AAA Louisville. First pitch is set […]

Game 32: Reds at Pirates (6:45 PM ET) – Singer vs. Keller

The Cincinnati Reds are in Pittsburgh on Friday night to take on the Pirates in the first of three games they’ll play over the weekend against their NL Central rivals. Starting tonight for Cincinnati will be Brady Singer, who has turned in a trio of solid outings after blister issues late in spring camp and […]

The biggest Reds/Pirates series since who knows when

The Cincinnati Reds are upriver in Pittsburgh on Friday to begin a weekend series against the Pirates. A Reds/Pirates series – starting on the first of May – and yet somehow, it feels like must-watch television. That’s a bummer for a lot of you, since tonight’s game is going to be broadcast quite poorly on […]

Nathaniel Lowe, TJ Friedl power Reds past Rockies

Things got off to a saucy start for the Cincinnati Reds in Thursday’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies in Great American Ball Park. If you, like me, are still trying to figure out exactly what that means, let’s just say that Andrew Abbott began the game by serving up a meatball that Tyler Freeman […]

Game 31: Reds vs. Rockies (12:40 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Lorenzen

The Cincinnati Reds will take on the Colorado Rockies on Thursday afternoon in Great American Ball Park in the series finale, a rubber match that will determine who claims the series victory. In it will feature former Red Michael Lorenzen on the bump for the Rockies, a mound he’ll share to start with lefty Andrew […]

Reds place Brandon Williamson on injured list with shoulder fatigue

Cincinnati Reds lefty Brandon Williamson exited Wednesday evening’s start against the Colorado Rockies after having thrown just 58 pitches across 3.0 IP. It was the latest in a series of frustrating starts for the 28 year old, who for the season has actually walked more hitters (20) than he’s struck out (19). After the game, […]

Game 30: Reds vs. Rockies (6:40 PM ET) – Williamson vs. Sugano

Today’s date is April 29th, and the Cincinnati Reds already have a chance to move 10 games over .500. TEN GAMES! To do so, they’ll need to once again get past the Colorado Rockies, whom they felled yesterday by the score of 7-2 on the backs of Elly De La Cruz and Chase Burns. Tonight, […]

Reds place Graham Ashcraft on bereavement list, add Luis Mey

The Cincinnati Reds needed to shuffle their bullpen on Wednesday prior to the second game of the series against the Colorado Rockies, as right-hander Graham Ashcraft was placed on the bereavement list. They opted to recall right-hander Luis Mey to fill the spot on the roster, as they announced on Twitter. Ashcraft has been brilliant […]
