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 […]

MLB

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. […]

One more shot for TJ Friedl in the Reds lineup

Cincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl got 4 PA against the Philadelphia Phillies on May 18th, and he went 0 for 3 with a K and a sac-fly RBI. In the eight days that followed, he got a grand total of jsut 3 PA, with a sac bunt the only thing to show for it. That […]

Héctor Rodríguez has hit three homers for AAA Louisville…today

From Opening Day through May 26th, Héctor Rodríguez had been having a decent-enough season for the AAA Louisville Bats. He entered play this morning having hit .270/.339/.431 with 7 homers for the club, showing an improved walk rate (up to 9.6% from 5.2% during his AAA time a year ago) and still striking out at […]

Hunter Greene throws first bullpen session on road back to Reds

Chase Burns has been a revelation for the Cincinnati Reds this season, the former #2 overall draft pick emerging as a legitimate rotation-carrying ace during the first third of the season. Andrew Abbott, an All Star in 2025, has turned the corner after a rough start and once again looks a more-than-competent mid-rotation arm. Even […]

MLB

Game 54: Reds at Mets (7:10 PM ET) – Burns vs. Peterson

The Cincinnati Reds will once again give the ball to Chase Burns on Tuesday, this time on the big stage at Citi Field as the club takes on the New York Mets. A win tonight would hand them the series victory, too, as they won 7-2 yesterday in the series opener behind a fine start […]

Chase Burns starts as Reds look to take series from Mets in New York

The Cincinnati Reds took care of business on Monday night in Queens, taking down the New York Mets by the score of 7-2. Nick Lodolo was excellent, the offense consistently befuddled Mets starter Nolan McLean, and now there’s a chance for Cincinnati to take the series with another victory. Lucky for the Reds, they get […]

How great the Cincinnati Reds offense has become

Nathaniel Lowe swatted a walk-off homer against the Detroit Tigers and future Hall of Famer Kneley Jansen on the night of April 24th, the final swing in a roller-coaster 9-8 victory. In that game, the Cincinnati Reds had overcome a 5-0 deficit only to give it back with a 3-run Top of the 8th by […]

Cincinnati Reds blast New York Mets 7-2 behind Nick Lodolo

The Cincinnati Reds looked perfectly miserable against New York Mets rookie Nolan McLean, at least in the Top of the 1st inning in the series opener at Citi Field. McLean breezed through the top of the Reds lineup by striking out the side to begin, with none of Blake Dunn, Elly De La Cruz, or […]

Game 53: Reds at Mets (4:10 PM ET) – Lodolo vs. McLean

The Cincinnati Reds should be well rested and ready to take on the New York Mets by the time Monday afternoon’s first pitch is thrown at Citi Field on this Memorial Day. The Reds had last Thursday off as scheduled, and then had Friday off, too, when their series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals […]

Nick Lodolo leads Reds into series opener against Mets in New York

It’s been an unfortunate yet somewhat predictable start to Nick Lodolo’s 2026 season since he missed over a month while dealing with blister issues. It forced him to tweak the way he approaches batters, looking at times to avoid throwing his slider too much and risking a recurrence of the problem. He also, obviously, missed […]
