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 […]
Game 52: Reds vs. Cardinals (7:15 PM ET) – Petty vs. Leahy
Chase Petty makes his return to the mound in a Cincinnati Reds uniform as the club called him up to start the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals in Great American Ball Park. Petty was sound in his season debut two weeks ago against the Cleveland Guardians, and hopefully has overcome […]
Game 51: Reds vs. Cardinals (1:10 PM ET) – Paddack vs. Pallante
After Friday evening’s scheduled game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds was rained out at Great American Ball Park, the two clubs will kick off a doubleheader there on Saturday. The first game will commence at 1:10 PM ET. Chris Paddack will make his second start since being picked up by the Reds, […]
Reds activate Eugenio Suárez, place Ke’Bryan Hayes on injured list
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 […]
Reds star Elly De La Cruz has slowed down
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 […]
Reds trade Rece Hinds to Marlins for RHP Zach McCambley
The Cincinnati Reds opted to designate outfielder Rece Hinds for assignment earlier this week. The team had turned to him for some power production after outfielder Noelvi Marte had stumbled out of the gate to begin the 2026 season, yet Hinds couldn’t quite provide the kind of production Cincinnati desperately needed in the corners. Once […]
Sal Stewart smashes Reds past Phillies in 9-4 victory
Watching Sal Stewart struggle for the first time as a big leaguer was rough. After ripping through the month of April and taking home National League Rookie of the Month honors, May greeted him with a dose of what happens when big league pitchers and coaches finally get to scout you in detail via big […]
Game 50: Reds at Phillies (1:05 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Nola
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 […]
Reds send Eugenio Suárez on rehab assignment with AAA Louisville
So far during the 2026 Major League Baseball season, the Cincinnati Reds have received a collective .207 wOBA from the 3B position. That ranks dead last in the entire league. That’s side by side with a 21 wRC+ (last), .157 average (last), .219 OBP (last), .229 SLG (last), and 12 RBI (last). It will likely […]
The Cincinnati Reds have Chase Burns and the rest of baseball does not
There has been ample to lament about the Cincinnati Reds of late. They endured that brutal 8-game losing streak, one that featured record walk rates, bullpen meltdowns, and even a trio of consecutive walk-off defeats. They came back up for air briefly, but rode into Tuesday evening’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies once again on […]
Game 48: Reds at Phillies (6:40 PM ET) – Burns vs. Luzardo
The Cincinnati Reds once again turn to Chase Burns as they look to stem a losing run, this time in Philadelphia as they take on the Phillies in the second game of this mid-week series. Sharing the mound with Burns to start is lefty Jesus Luzardo, who looked much better in his most recent start […]
Kyle Schwarber will try to homer off Chase Burns tonight in Philadelphia
It was not Kyle Schwarber who socked a backbreaking homer off the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night in Philadelphia. That honor went to Bryson Stott, who crushed Cincinnati’s dream of a come-from-behind victory with a 2-run shot off Graham Ashcraft in the Bottom of the 8th inning that turned a 4-3 Reds lead into a […]
Game 47: Reds at Phillies (6:40 PM ET) – Lodolo vs. Painter
The Cincinnati Reds need the real Nick Lodolo now more than ever. Short outings from starters over the last three games have left the bullpen to absorb a metric %@$& ton of pitches, and the bullpen has been rife with foibles for far too long. The pitching staff needs someone, anyone other than Chase Burns […]
Kyle Schwarber will try to homer off Nick Lodolo tonight in Philadelphia
The Cincinnati Reds take their tattered pitching staff further on their road show on Monday, this time to the City of Brotherly Love. That’s where they’ll find the Philadelphia Phillies, who so hot right now they’re shucking popcorn. Seriously, they were once 9-19 and fired their manager, yet since Don Mattingly took the helm they’ve […]
The Cincinnati Reds have the worst pitching in baseball
Another clunker from Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer on Sunday sunk most any chance of taking the series over the Cleveland Guardians. It also sunk the Reds further and further down the statistical leaderboards in most every pitching category, a place they’ve not been for most of the Derek Johnson Era. As of the morning […]
Reds designate Rece Hinds for assignment amid series of roster moves
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 […]
Game 45: Reds at Guardians (6:10 PM ET) – Paddack vs. Cantillo
The Chris Paddack era begins tonight in Cleveland for the Cincinnati Reds at 6:10 PM ET. Here’s how both clubs will line up to start. Today’s Lineups REDS GUARDIANS Dane Myers – CF Daniel Schneemann – CF Elly De La Cruz – SS Jose Ramirez – 3B Sal Stewart – 1B Chase DeLauter – DH […]
Chris Paddack set for Reds debut on Saturday vs. Guardians
There was once a time where saying the Cincinnati Reds are going to have Chris Paddack starting for them tonight would have inspired a big pile of confidence. Back before the 2019 season, for instance, he was rated as high as the #34 overall prospect in the sport by MLB Pipeline, was a consensus Top […]
Reds hang on for 7-6 win over Guardians in Ohio Cup opener
The Cincinnati Reds got another solid start from lefty Andrew Abbott, got a homer from Matt McLain and one more huge performance from JJ Bleday, and managed to hand over a 6-1 lead to the heart of their bullpen on Friday night in the Ohio Cup opener against the Cleveland Guardians. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? […]
Game 45: Reds at Guardians (7:10 PM ET) – Abbott vs. Bibee
The Cincinnati Reds are on the road to take on the Cleveland Guardians this fine Friday evening, and they’ll do with lefty Andrew Abbott on the mound. He’ll be opposed by Cleveland starter Tanner Bibee, with first pitch set to fly at 7:10 PM ET. Lineups for both clubs listed below as the 2026 Ohio […]
Andrew Abbott takes the mound as Reds face Guardians in Ohio Cup
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 […]
