Hunter Greene brilliant in final rehab start with AAA Louisville

Cincinnati Reds ace Hunter Greene is on the cusp of a return to the big leagues. If his final tune-up start on Sunday with the AAA Louisville Bats is any indication, he’ll be returning in pretty peak form. Greene and the Bats took on the Saint Paul Saints on Sunday in Slugger Field, and Greene […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates – Brady Singer vs. Mitch Keller

The three most recent outings turned in by Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer have been much, much more in-line with the expectations placed upon him prior to the season. In those, he’s tossed 18.0 IP, cleared 7.0 IP once, and allowed just 3 ER in that time. He’s struck out 17 against just 6 walks, […]

MLB

Just like that, TJ Friedl is back with the Reds

TJ Friedl’s fall from grace with the Cincinnati Reds has been well documented around these parts. From a nearly ~4 WAR guy who received down-ballot MVP votes just a few years back to a guy optioned to the minors on the cusp of his 31st birthday, Friedl’s declining metrics and performance combined with his increased […]

Eugenio Suárez rescues Reds in 9-7 win over Pirates

The Cincinnati Reds rode a roller coaster all day against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. The game was delayed early by rain and got soggy again late. Chase Burns, who started for the Reds on the day, struck out 10 Pirates in 6.0 IP…but also yielded 9 hits and 5 runs. The team took an […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Pittsburgh Pirates – Chase Burns vs. Jared Jones

Chase Burns leads the Cincinnati Reds into Saturday’s contest against the Pittsburgh Pirates with the chance to lock up a much needed series victory. Jared Jones gets the start for the Bucs, with first pitch estimated to come at some point around 4:40 PM ET after a roughly half-hour rain delay. Here’s how both teams […]

Elly De La Cruz in the leadoff spot as Reds look for series win over Pirates

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona had seemingly settled on centerfielder Blake Dunn as his everyday leadoff man a couple of weeks back. Despite the team’s overall inability to score runs on a regular basis, that wasn’t necessarily Dunn’s fault – he’s been pretty cromulent atop the order ever since. But with Dunn exiting Friday night’s […]

To break their poor form the Reds only have to go through Paul Skenes

The Baseball Gods are so often cruel and unrelenting. The Cincinnati Reds battled the Milwaukee Brewers in a three-game series in Great American Ball Park earlier this week, and they battled them pretty well. Twice they got near perfect starts from starters only for their offense to similarly be stifled, and once they battled back […]

Another gut punch for Reds bullpen as Tony Santillan hits injured list

Do you even remember how the Cincinnati Reds bullpen was supposed to look? Emilio Pagan was set to be the closer after returning in free agency, but he’s been shelved for months after an awful hamstring strain. Pierce Johnson and Caleb Ferguson were both signed in free agency to help add depth and experience, and […]

TJ Friedl’s time with the Cincinnati Reds is probably over

If you posted a .364 OBP during the 2025 Major League Baseball season, you were in pretty elite company. Among the 108 MLB players who logged at least 550 PA last season, that number would’ve sandwiched you right between perennial All Star Jose Ramirez (.360) and slugger Kyle Schwarber (.365). The small number of names […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Rhett Lowder vs. Shane Drohan

The Cincinnati Reds will be tasked with solving southpaw Shane Drohan if they are going to walk out of this home series against the Milwaukee Brewers without being swept. That, of course, is only if Rhett Lowder can keep them in the game. He gets the start in the series finale on Wednesday night, with […]

Cincinnati Reds look to avoid being swept at home by Milwaukee Brewers

Per Baseball Reference, the two best starting pitchers (and two of the three most valuable overall members) on the Milwaukee Brewers are ace Jacob Misiorowski and lefty Kyle Harrison. The Cincinnati Reds managed to dodge facing either one of them during this series in Great American Ball Park, yet here they are on the cusp […]

Nick Lodolo exits Reds start early after being hit by comebacker

It has been a brutally unlucky season so far for Cincinnati Reds lefty Nick Lodolo so far in 2026. First, blister issues cost him the first month of the season, and even after he returned he looked a bit lost on the mound – uncomfortable throwing his breaking pitches the way he’d used to given […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Nick Lodolo vs. Brandon Sproat

On the plus side, the Cincinnati Reds got an excellent start from righty Brady Singer on Monday during the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. After completely falling on his face to begin the 2026 season, the pending free agent has turned things around lately, pitching to just a 1.64 ERA in 22.0 IP across […]

A closer look at the Cincinnati Reds roster now that Elly De La Cruz is back

The Cincinnati Reds formally activated Elly De La Cruz from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday morning ahead of the team’s second game against the Milwaukee Brewers of this series. In doing so, the Reds add back their perennial All Star and offensive anchor, hopefully helping hoist a lineup back into respecability after it has […]

Elly De La Cruz to be activated, Hunter Greene to start at AAA Tuesday

The Cincinnati Reds are itching ever-closer to getting the band back together. Considering it’s their lead singer and lead guitarist that are the pieces they’ve been missing, that’s pretty huge. MLB.com’s Mark Sheldon reported earlier on Monday night that the Reds plan to activate shortstop Elly De La Cruz on Tuesday following a rehab stint […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Brady Singer vs. Brandon Woodruff

The Cincinnati Reds are back in Great American Ball Park on Monday night to play host to the Milwaukee Brewers. Their division rivals are once again in 1st place in the NL Central, with the Reds occupying their familiar place of last. Brady Singer and Brandon Woodruff get the starting assignments for their respective clubs […]

Cincinnati Reds need Brady Singer now more than ever

There’s certainly a chance that the Cincinnati Reds will get absolutely smashed over the course of the next two weeks and their season – which already has seen them collapse from 1st place to last place in the NL Central – will go completely up in flames. They’re about to embark upon the toughest stretch […]

Reds shake up bullpen with return of Pierce Johnson

The Cincinnati Reds finally welcomed back some proven reinforcement to their overworked bullpen on Monday afternoon ahead of their series against the Milwaukee Brewers in Great American Ball Park. Veteran righty Pierce Johnson was activated off the 15-day IL, while the Reds also chose to select the contract of righty Julian Garcia from AAA Louisville. […]

Introducing the real Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds leaned on Chase Burns again on Sunday, riding their star rookie to a series victory over the New York Yankees in the Bronx. The win pulled the Reds back within 2 games of the .500 mark for the season as we near its midpoint, and again helped bridge the gap between what […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. New York Yankees – Chase Burns vs. Elmer Rodriguez

Did the Cincinnati Reds catch a break when the New York Yankees opted to shuffle their starting rotation for the series finale? We’ll find out this afternoon! The Reds were initially slated to face six-time All Star and former Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole in Sunday’s series finale, but manager Aaron Boone made the […]

Sal Stewart’s 6 RBI day fuels Reds in 10-2 rout of Yankees

Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal Stewart has certainly slumped since his breakout month of April, but that hasn’t stopped him from stepping into big situations and picking up timely hits for the club. Manager Terry Francona has stuck with him in the heart of the order despite his recent slide, and Tito was rewarded in spades […]

The Reds will try to not lose to the Yankees again today

Friday evening’s debacle in the Bronx would have, in a just world, been the kind of thing that would have pissed off a wide swath of Cincinnati Reds fans. They gave up big hits early on bad pitches. They looked positively overmatched all up and down their lineup. They lost, they didn’t score, and looked […]

Reds blanked by Cam Schlittler gem in loss to New York Yankees

Cam Schlittler entered play on Friday with the fourth best bWAR among all pitchers in the sport prior to his scheduled start against the Cincinnati Reds in the series opener in Yankee Stadium. Safe to say, the burgeoning New York Yankees ace is going to find himself higher on that list come Saturday morning. Schlittler […]

Cincinnati Reds vs. New York Yankees – Rhett Lowder vs. Cam Schlittler

If you’re a believer in Baseball Reference, there have been only three pitchers in baseball this season who’ve been better than New York Yankees starter Cam Schlittler. One of them, by the slightest of margins (3.9 bWAR to 3.8), is Cincinnati Reds righty Chase Burns. So, if you’ve watched Chase Burns completely dominate opponents as […]
